    Yours for only €2,500 (Hubcaps not included) :D

    I'd never buy a car whose odometer only goes to 99,999 and then starts at 00,000 again. shows how much faith the manufacturers had in it from day 1

    :)

    "increases in value every day" as in it was worthless last week, now the owner decides it's worth €3k

    Ha! A friend of mine bought an Escort Van lately with 30,000 *cough* genuine miles on it. He was very happy until i showed him it a service sticker for 76,000. How embarrassing lol

    If it was an SRi, GSi or GTE Nova and it was 12 months ago they might have some chance of selling it. It is pretty clean though, might know someone interested in it as a project actually.

    AFAIK some guy in England built a twin engined Nova with two Calibra Turbo engines, now that would be fun. In a straight line.

    The Ford Fiesta and Ka had this up to about 1999/2000.

    Its a great car you heathons, worth every penny and a bargain at that price. Obviously none of yous know anything about classic cars.
    Those iconic lines, timeless styling that looks as good today as it did all those years ago. That charismatic and vibrant engine pushing you effortlessly to that phenominal top speed of 60mph in just 4.5 seconds minutes.
    It can be insured as a classic almost immediately (3 years) and in just 13 short short years can be classed as a classic for motor tax purposes.

    Oh man, no wonder. Bought a 97 civic off them. They sold me a warranty with it, told me it was as new and if it wasn't that the warranty would then be honoured to make it as new. Couldn't even get them to do minor work. NEVER EVER buy anything off them. I'm not surprised that they're chancing like this. Also, I later found out that I'd overpaid, I'm not going to say by how much. I'm very embarassed by it. Cheating scum, they are.
