garyv6100e Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Read a post the other day about "over priced escorts" dropping in value well the chap who placed this advert has not heard about it http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1339222.htm i almost me fell of my seat at that price
l j shaw Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 i know, someone did say the prices are dropping maybe he should read this advert
Rick Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 its not that escorts were worth more just the owners overvalued them, thats what i discovered when selling mine lol if you think its worth 5K you can guarantee youl struggle to get 4k for it and will prob sell it for 3.5k in haste to get your money. theyre just hard to part with when you have prob spent double restoring it
sambo Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Tis definatley over priced but it does come with a half decent pauxhall engine and other parts. He wont sell it for that though.
dockertrigger Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 I guess it's people like that pricing them that much which is driving the prices up of Mk1's so that not everyone can afford a OSF anymore.
PIG Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 any escort is only worth as much as any one person will pay for it.price it at 10 grand and it wont sell simple imo,price it at a fair price and it will sell fast

moredoorAsh Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 I think he's asking too much myself but its the people that pay those sort of prices that will stop the prices comming back down...good luck to the bloke though.

Andrade Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 umm... ok, option 1: it actually had two wheels sticking out of the rear, so it used to drive vertically, like on a permanent 90 degree wheelie, and he crashed into a pole option 2: he got overtaken by a bike, from above option 3: he parked under a really big tree that had a really big bird
samurai Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 id never pay 5k more cuz its an RS If you want an RS tho you would pay it Some would pay alittle more if its a tax free car to
