Default 27 year old escort at my work, I NOW OWN IT, WITH PICS

Before any mods get the hump THIS IS IN NO WAY AN ADVERTISEMENT!!!

Right this car has come in at work and im umming and arring about would it be worth me buying,

Basically it a Ford Escort on a old Y reg (27 years old?)
1.6 ghia (quietest cvh i have ever heard!)
5 door
1 0wner from new
78k with full history
12 months mot

This car is unbeleivable, its like going back in time, no rust, no car park dents, and the interior looks like its never been sat in either the carpets or seats or dash or doorcards have a single mark or wear on them. the seats look like they have never been sat in!

it owes my boss £300
I will not be keeping the car but wanted to know would it be worth buying to try and make any sort of profit on? (ie collectors etc?)

Again this is not a for sale ad!!!!!
cheers

RIGHT HERE SHE IS:









has had a repair round the boot lock by the old boy which i didnt see and a couple of other "blends"

Did they come with a tool kit? if not i have one oh and ALOT of old plugs labelled USED lol

300 sounds a bargain if its proper mint.

i would buy it off him for 350 (tell he is making a quick drink out of it) and then you take the car to national day and double or treble the price

Some people might say its only a five door mk3,but imo if its as minty mint as you say I think a bag of sand for a time warp 16 Ghia sounds a fair price.

eBay that mate,it's got to be a minimum of double your money(guessing your boss wants a one'er profit) so I'd say £800 at least.

Get it bought mate. There's no way you will loose on that. Ok so it's not an RS but you could take it up to the RS National day at the end of September and if it's as good as you say some Ford nut will take it off you for a healthy price.

Get it bought mate your going to get a good profit on that, try to get some pics up of it too.

A lad at my work has just taken a J reg Peugeot 205 GLD 5Dr in as a part ex, its done 29000 from new, interior is spotless but exterior needs a really good buff up and has a full tank of diesel too, I am considering buying it and selling it on for a quick buck.

Time warp

You won't have any problems getting rid of that for a bag of sand.
