car dealers looking for rs500 money

dreaming

 

Have you seen some of the reps 5k hand painted with waletail

 

I would be over the moon to get half that for mine lol


Steve

 

Ł70k surely no one is gonna pay that are they !

 

Hopefully saffs will be at this price soon lol.

It's such a shame now cause proper Ford enthusiast can't afford to own these cars now. It's a rich mans game these days.

 

Greedy dealers trying to cash in. No way either of those two cars are worth that much, and even so, who'd pay Ł5k more for the white one with twice as many miles on it?

 

Well how times have changed lol .Years ago cossie owners were drug dealers and now there drug takers pmsl

 

Lol quality that mate

 

Diamonds are worth more than moonstone

 

It is crazy, my friend just paid Ł550,000 for this, he bought it off a friend so got close to Ł100k off




Carrera GT

 

quite a high tech car for its time but for not that impressive to drive feels quite nailed together

 

It must be nice to have that amount of money.

How much is his house worth.

 

He has a good collection of cars. House probably worth Ł2m where it is.
He has probably 10 supercars.

The guy who sold it to him is also a friend and has many more.

 

He said it is very wide on UK roads. It has spent a lot of its time in Germany near the Nürburgring. The last owner keeps his Mac F1 out there too.

 

Seriously awesome machine over half a million in one car is mind boggling

 

That's stunning

 

I hope so.....

 

It would want to be for that crazy price!!

 

I can’t help but think it would be better money spread across a few motors which is what the new owner has sold to buy this (Sls AMG, Ferrari 575m, Ferrari 430, Cayenne and a m135i). But he will still have a good few, more special cars left.

 

The circle of friends you have are living in a different world to the majority of people that I know!! I wonder though if the cars they have mean that much to them when they can afford what ever they want and can change them as often as they like?

 

when I look at that porsche all I see is TSW wheels

 

dealers seem to have really jumped on the rs bandwagon this last 12-18 months some of the asking prices are mental, they never seem to sell though as far as i can see ( or if they do its not for anywhere near asking price)

 

This is true but all you hear is one sold for 70k so mines got to be worth that easy lol

 

I was really suprised at Classic Ford when talking to people who were looking at my Saff by what they thought it would be worth if I sold it. One guy said Ł45-50k!! Other people who asked about Insurance and agreed value thought my Ł23k was way to low a figure. This is why dealers are jacking up the prices so much as they think that is what people will pay!
As Glenn has said the days of ordinary working class people being able to get into Cossy ownership is becoming a thing of the past.
The ex BTCC RS500 that recently sold for Ł182K is a good example!!

 

defo mate just look at how much dealers and even private sellers are asking for fiesta turbos now absolutely crazy. on that note mine must be worth at least 10k

 

I actually think the same, the blue annodised locking nuts look really cheap IMO, black would be much more subtle but if you go changing things you need to keep the originals for spares due to "originality" issues.

He has the old suspension but this is on a special set of KW specced by Manthey Racing who are near the 'ring and they have the lifting kits on them for the speed bumps and getting it on to trailers etc.

 

Exactly mate I would say your value is bang on for your Saff and the touring car was actually cheap for what there changing hands for but that car was no where near original . The average guy now is priced out of the working class sports car which is a massive shame

 

You think a few Fiesta Turbos have sold recently for 8-10k and not as good as yours . People have woke up to them now and they are rare

 

This has got me thinking about clearing off some of my mortgage with the help of RSty

Would be hard to part with the old girl

 

all the while the prices are increasing so are the values of my 2 reps

 

At least he hasn't gone like most people and slapped some rotiform's on it.

Some Tsw's are nice though, but halfrauds and ripspeed really cheapened the appeal of them.

As above the price of sapphires and cossies has priced 99% of people out of the market. I am still on the fence about getting a mk3/4 (I don't mind if its genuine rst or not) and taking it over the America to the wife's. The spares availability is holding me back a bit. Saw a LHD mk4 bonus for reasonable money in Germany which is tempting.

 

I really dont understand where these values are coming from and people have strange ideas on how to value cars as well . Me I am oldskool imo the more original the car sits with all its original parts and body work id say its worth more than a modern restored car as it retains originality

 

Yeah, scrap metal prices have been on the rise for a while now

 

 

That's a very nice rep but 18k?

 

TSW cheapened themselves when they unleashed the chavtastic venom on the world.

 

Yeah but it was the max power era lol I think hockenhiems were one of thier best and are still copied now

 

That is sooo right, I remember people putting them on 205 gtis and thinking Just No...also those horrible 3 spoke wanky rims.

 

Those were not bad wheels. Good old max power....I had the poster of my actual 205 on my wall in my bedroom, now I own it. I still have the original mags..looking back now it was bloody ugly back then.

 

I don't mind some TSW wheels, they suited the period when they was in most magazines. Venom's was good till you used to see most down southend kurbed to high hell and missing big chunks.
