quattro Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 Hi all, I know it isn't OSF motoring but I know a guy who is selling a MK4 Escort XR3i with 49k on the clock. 3 owners from new one of which is dagenham ford. Completely original nothing has been modified at all. Finished in white and it really looks amazing. Very little surface rust around the arches. not mot or tax but drives, steers and stops okay. I just have not got a clue what it I should offer him for it. Is it worth £200 or £1200. What would it be worth after I put mot on it? Thanks folks! Need a fast answer on this one, so I'm counting on you people!
hotrodholty Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 £500.00 as is without tax and test needing some work, £1500 for a mint one on the road all done
Toby Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 Mk 4?? Did they continue making escorts after the Mk2? What does it look like? That's clever to get rust on it! Isn't it plastic? Right, I want a prize for the least helpfull post. Ever!
quattro Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Posted November 9, 2007 I can probably get it for about £400 so it seems like a good deal. As for what shape it is it was first reg' in 1989 if that gives you a clue. I have no idea about Escorts, they have never really interested me but I saw this and since it looks so immaculate and original I thought it would look cool next to my Capri. £400 isn't bad. Might end up costing me a £100 to get the thing MOT'd and sell it on when I'm bored with it for a little bit extra! Thanks people.
Muttley MK2 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 Some funny people like them plastic fords, I think they are called XR owners or summat try them when u want to sell. Unmolested XRs are usually snapped up.

Unmolested XRs are usually snapped up. I guess it is worth buying for £400 sticking an MOT on it and then selling it on when I'm bored with it. I recognise your sig from somewhere, are you on a Merc forum?
escamino Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 Just remember they rust from the inside out. So it may look good on the outside but be totally rotten Places to check are battery tray, floor and around the wheel tubs in the boot. £400 is ok if it is solid, otherwise it's just scrap.
Muttley MK2 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 No matey not into mercs, the line is from a sign in a junkyard on the original Mad Max film. If u havent seen it then I highly recommend u do
