rs2000 4x4

[gtispec]

hi all just a quick question and some advice needed

 

i have a petrol blue rs2k 4x4 n reg 100k mint apart from rear arches (normal rust)

 

and a red mk6 4x4 bit tatty needs full respray

 

i dont need to use them and have the room to store them is it worth

me putting them to one side for a few years and get them fully restored

 

will these cars be worth much money say 5 to 10 years time

 

how many 4x4 mk6s are left

[--JP]

check out rs2000-16v.net, i think there are about 175 left if i remember reading it right.

 

they'll be worth something either rusty or otherwise, as spares are getting harder to source.

to be honest if you leave them to get worse you'll find they'll be at the bottom of their value

i honestly can't see them rocketing in value but stranger stuff has happened

Sell em now or store them but maintain the condition (ie/stop the rust now (maybe cut the arches off and treat the bare metal remaining and leave them like that in the lock-up. In 10 years a decent RS2k 4x4 will be worth something but not much....and in 10 years...i honesty dont expect petrol powered cars to be a common sight on the road

I agree with craig ,as it does pay to store cars if you have the space ,but the rust must be stopped first or you will come back to a pile of rust , I made £3k on my RS1600i by storing it for a few years and £4.5k on my capri which I have owned for ever Edited August 6, 2008 by 1pukkadeal

buy an escort cosworth now and go back to it in 15 years and you will be looking at 40-50 grand for it
