Toned down that could look quite good.

Rear end is a train wreck though

1.3 on the book would be the main selling point.

20 Year old 1.8 Escort with 130,000 miles on the clock. I can describe that car in one word: SCRAP

Only a complete idiot would pay 1500 for that

Why do you keep making reference to age?

Does that mean my 26 year old Sierra 2.0 petrol is fit for scrap aswel as the 16 year old Mitsubishi and the 20 year old Escort??

The generartion of Escort was Crap

Sierra's are good cars

Never said the Evo was scrap. Just said it wasnt worth near 30k

1 way looking at That evo 6 though is it most likely get 30k+ back in immediate future where as the modern car is going to drop in value and need a decade to see decent return.

Possibly

It's a limited market
(I'm an Evo Fanatic, I think it's the best all round sports car you can buy. Still wouldn't spend 30k on a TME though)

That generation of Escorts were always junk though. Its not like its a Mk2 Escort.

I had 3 escorts of that age, obviously not mk2 class, but scrap is a bit unfair no? Mine never gave trouble except the cat on 2 of them. Sluggish, and petrol guzzlers but I wouldn't say scrap. That looks gammy though.

75,000km's, 21 years old, Standard... only £21,000 (€26,578)

118,500 km's, 23 years old, Standard... only £18,000

Clean cars in fairness but WAY over the top in terms of Price.

YbFocus

Again for the millionth time, they aren't overpriced.
People are willing to pay this for GTR's, manual 2j Supra's etc.

millington

I think both of those are overpriced. The Supra has the wrong gearbox and gammy wheels and the R33, well it's an R33 I like them but that is a fair bit more expensive than importing a good R32 which are generally worth as much and more than a 33

YbFocus

The 33 might be a tad over the top but the Supra is actually a little cheaper than the norm.
And as for wanting an auto Supra, well that's blasphemy

Toyotafanboi

agreed. i think the 33 is a bit excessive, but for a clean TT, manual Supra, that's the way prices are going.

Ah yes missed that small point

millington

The Supra should have a V160 6 speed but that ones 5 speed so must be a W58 or an R154 which would make me think it's a conversion.

Sorry,
But if you have enough money (£21,000) to spend (p*** away) on a +20 Year old GTR
(Or any forced induction machine for that matter)

Then surely you could get together another £16/17k and get a 2009/10 model,
Cause you'd be paying close to half that if anything goes wrong with it.
And lets face it, the car is old, the chances of something going wrong are HIGH!

Trust me, I've been this person
I've learned my lesson! LOL

YbFocus

I'd still buy the old one

No interest in the new one at all!

I appriciate that

I'd still buy an Evo VI RS 450 over the new Evo X If I could get one that's just rolled off the production line! LOL

But I never will be able to.

Id buy a TME or a nice IX over an X and I'd have an R34 GTR over an R35 even though the 34 is getting even more expensive.

I wouldn't call it pissing away money. If anything it's more sensible as these cars are appreciating and the R35 has a long way to go before appreciating.

Why do people constantly refer to age on here? Some people just prefer older cars to newer and are willing to pay for them.

I'd much much rather have a R32 or R33 over an R35.


Any yes I'v spent 5 figures on a 25 year old Ford with a turbo strapped on. There is NO other car I'd rather have.

Considering the trouble the Supra owner took with the photos of the outside, lack of photos of the inside suggests it's in sh1te

It's a UK import.

Mad bastard of a price, even 2.5 would be high.
But, it does look pretty clean and has a nice spec inside.
But he is in Lala land if he thinks people will be ringing up for that.

A 5 door version of the worst GTi? Surely the 4 in front of the 500 is a mistake

The worst GTI is usually said to be the mk3

In fairness, those Rotiform alloys & Airlift suspension cost a pretty penny...

... But I cant imagine it selling anytime soon with that price and most people into that spec car would want a diesel engine I'd imagine.

bazz26

They might have cost a pretty penny but they don't add much monitory value to the car.

30k for an S1... I'd sooner buy this S2 and get a K20 conversion, and respray, and new suspension, and new interior, and pretty much anything else I wanted to get done for that money.

It's even got that poxy Rover K-series engine in too if I'm not mistaken? A new head gasket needed everytime you start the damn thing.
We have a serious contender here.

The range rover the elise fella is selling is about 10k overpriced too!

But then again, fools and their money are easily parted, he'll probably find someone stupid enough...

That's not even the price apparently

The price quoted is only a bass price to real offers if you can't offer above the asking price then please don't wast my time.

robtri

and even if you have the money to buy it, you have to be the right type of person

Please note this car will only be sold to the right person who has the respect to appreciate the class of machine

Indeed, you'd need to be special to even consider buying it at that price.

vintagevrs

Woah woah woah hang on a second there, stop the bus.

"The price quoted is only a bass price to real offers if you can't offer above the asking price then please don't wast my time."

This is new to me, the seller puts up a price and potential buyers use that as a guide, for the minium amount of cash they need in their suitcase.

That's so off the chart it's brilliant.
