Andy 3i Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the right section...I'm not sure where it belongs. I'm after a rough idea on how much cossies are fetching these days. Mine are in pretty good nick, the odd mark but nothing major...more than useable and have 4 brand new avon zz3 tyres on. I know without pictures it's impossible to be accurate but I hear so many different prices...someone said £800 the other day?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year ford will stop making these as spairs. Keep them! Whats going on will selling everything? You not giving up on evo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not Evo, just escorts. I've had my time with them so it's time to move on...I'm currently looking for a lexus ls400 (strange choice I know) so my pair of escorts have to go . Obviously you guys will get first dibs before I ebay anything. When are they going to be discontinued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalelc16 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I saw the info on a forum but cant remember what forum.pricing wise look for £600. On ebay they go for around 450-550 ish depends on how quick you want rid and condition.give it a few more years then they will be sort after. Just like most of the cossy parts which has been discontinued years ago. Cant beleave your going to do that. Ford fair?I did a similar thing 7 years ago with my first gti, my partner fell pregnant and the car had to go (bad choice, never forgive my self). To this day if I could have it back, ill pay anything for it but the guy I sold it to crashed it 3 weeks after I sold it. I went to see it in a yard and I was gutted to see it. keep it the mk6 you won't live it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'll sit on them for a little while then . As for ford fair...I can still go as a member of the public. I've had escorts since I was 16 and after 8 years I want something else. The thing that gets me is that for the amount I've spent on my red one you could buy something amazing, it won't be personal or individual but it is essentially a better car for a lot less money. In an ideal world I would like to sell it but I won't get anywhere near as much as I can hopefully get in parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalelc16 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well I can see what you are saying and I think everyone is in that boat. Its more like an hobby to me and I get alot off achievement out of working on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I totally understand that there's a certain enjoyment to tinkering with them, but not enough reward for me personally Going back to you saying about regretting having sold a car...I've done that a few times . I had a '93 corsa 1.2 and a paid £120 for it, 76k and was army green. Slow as hell but it was so cheap to run as an apprentice and reliable. Scrapped it after I crashed it. And I had a Saab 9000 2.3 turbo. Paid £200 for it and found out after I got it home it had been played with and was 300bhp. Scrapped that after trying to sell it for £300 for months . Guaranteed that I will miss my escort...ive had it forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Spot on with that last comment Dale it's hard to use your escort as a daily driver when there"s a lot better cars out there for not a lot of money, that's why mine is more of a hobby and I'll never sell it as long as I've got some where to keep it.

dalelc16 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thats it tomsy my escort is garaged and doesnt come out alot.
