Haych Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 just get a 5 door mate theres plenty about and they look better lolRefuse! Try autotrader?I'd sell ya mine but it has rusty arches.Yea mate on AutoTrader constantly, I found a PERFECT 3dr Amparo Blue 1.6i Finesse with every optional extra, got a great insurance quote, was only a 10 minute drive from me... had 2 wait until monday to speak to the dealer and it was sold and thy hadn't taken it off AutoTrader yet! I know that feeling. try places like gumtree too - but if you need a swap only your best bet is autotrader unfortunately. have you seen anything on ebay? they sometimes like to swap. I think your issue will be your escort is a 1.4 encore, even though its been done up people like their mod cons. are you willing to travel for it too?

LiamGTR Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Willing to travel, to a certain degree... Some people actually prefer the Encore due to it's cheap insurance, especially for young people like myself. I've never tried gumtree ill have a look now thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 You can have the AS Gti mate .. I wont be needing it for much longer. 1.8 tho ..I would love it mate and would definitely keep my Cupra R splitter and put it on yours like we talked about @ Durham I personally like 3dr's better but 5 dr more practicle as i have kids.and who said 5drs aint sporty!!!Not that the 5dr's aren't sporty enough as I do like mine, but I just like the 3dr's a lot more gonna struggle to find one mate... as for being sportier.....both cars are the same shape I prefer 5 doors, didn't realise how nice yours was until you put pucs up recently I know i'm bound to struggle mate that's why i'm not relly put loads of effort into it and just going to bump the topic once in a blue moon just incase anything does pop up The issue you have is you want to swap. do you have the cash to buy a car? and could you go to a 1.8?If I was to be able to stretch to a 1.8 it would be RO55's but even then I think I would be looking at over £2k insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haych Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 it is! We have an Si - and its a good couple of hundred less to insure than a GTi! Escort-Ross has a 1.8 Si made to look like a Gti going for sale soon. its 3 door panther black Si = group 10GTi = group 13. Si also has the same engine so why not go for the si?
