lips2k9 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Want to Swap a Mk6 R-Reg Escort finesse in panther black for a Car of same value but with a smaller engine, reason for swap is purely economical as I can not afford to run anything above a 1.4 anymore. here is a list of what has been done to it. Cosmetic Modifications: GTI Centre Console,GTI Leather Steering wheel and Airbag Module,Half Leather Interior, (Electric Drivers Side)White Puma Dials,Ghia Map Lights,6 Speed Wiper Stalks,One Touch Up and Down Electric windows (Both Sides)Dual rear Fog lamp,Dual Boot light,Electric Drivers Side Mirror,Ford Alloys, Mechanical Work done:Sports Exhaust Backbox and chrome,2 new toyo tyres,Oil and Filter change,Idle Control Valve recently Cleaned,Rear Subframe was recently welded for MOT (Both Sides) Passed MOT in May, Body work is mostly tidy apart from one rear arch is starting to go rusty and there are stone chips here and there - really good runner, very pokey engine. Now the bad parts - breaks are gonna need doing soon... they just arnt as responsive as they should be also the aircon needs refilling and for some reason it has the standard non fogged matt black bumpers - I can only assume the previous owner cracked them and replaced them with cheap ones. Anyway I am looking to swap it for another escort thats a smaller engine, a KA as I have seen these with smaller engines and maybe a puma or fiesta with a 1.3 or 1.4?I am in the west midlands - wolverhampton to be precise right by J10 of the M6.

GazSi Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Your best bet is a ka mate, from my mk6 1.6 lx on a r plate to a s reg ford ka 1.3 insurance droped by 700 quid, my mk4 1.6 astra i have now is only 100 quid more to insure than the ka a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
