2k for a hearing aid beige 1.3 L escort
does seem a bit steep, even with the 500 quids worth of 'scene' parts

I was thinking it was way underpriced,
I thought the fordies went mad for these old escorts, looks like a bit more than £500 quids worth of tat too.

If I had £2000 i'd be making an offer.. actually that said I do have £2000 but think the Mrs would kill me if I bought that instead of paying deposits for the wedding!

Just tell her that registry office weddings are the latest craze and the 'must have' wedding reception this season is a knees up down the local boozer.

it's not only the parts fitted though, a lot of the money goes for the shell condition too regardless of it being a 1300l 1600 ghia or whatever. a lot of these original cars will have the interiors changed etc anyway.

Price seems about right to me, i'd struggle to stump up 2k on a four door mk2 when i've bought so many decent ones for <£200 "back in the day"!!
Nice mot'd 1.6ghia auto for £70
mot'd 2ltr powered ghia £150
Lowered mot'd 1.6 4 door £120
solid primered 2 door with forest arches £100
solid tax and tested 4 door £100
banger racer project 4 door £150
etc etc... don't get me started on the mk1's
I bet theres a few others on here that wish they'd clung on to all the old escorts they've had and boshed em in a barn till now..... christ i'd be a millionaire!

Honeymoon - "I've booked a weekend at Sparkford for us Honey..." ;D Sorted. Lol we are going almost the cheapest route so don't think thats gonna wash! Bloomin weddings are expensive.. i'd much rather have a new car.. although for two grand i've been having bad thoughts about a big pimp merc lately, or a sierra.. or a rx7.. or a S12.. oh dear. As for the 1.3 badge.. maybe the owner was lacking in skills to take it off! lmao or perhaps its 'ironic'  |

2k seems about right to me aswell, I know it's a 4dr and a mk2 but it look to be in good nick and the spec seems good too.

Sierra - here we go again! He has an illness, it's not his fault.

Supply and demand.
If people will pay that price, people will ask that price.

Supply and demand. If people will pay that price, people will ask that price. I understand the principal of supply and demand but isn't there a point where you go....'thats just not worth that much'? Maybe I just cant see the magical formula of why someone would want an Escort when they could have a Porsche or a Ferrari? * Youngtimer goes off confused with himself |
