And almost every example has been thrashed or banged about and they are awful to drive anyway.And not supposed to be very good to drive, and its got a tiny boot.
Hydromatic suspension my friend, which gives all big french cars that nice floaty feelingwhen you say spheres are you talking about the suspension? what reg/year are you suggesting ?
the car will sit unevenlyi thought as much! arnt they expensive to get fixed if they do go. how do you check for this apart from seeing if it rises or not!?
You can get a nice low-ish milage escort estate for that money.
Some of the last of the line x reg Escorts had loads of extras and aren't a bad car at all, i'd have one over a citroen all day. Granted 2k is a bit steep for a escort but his budget is 2k, it doesnt mean he wont spend any less[TW]Fox;11861421 said:Any Escort that doesn't say 'RS' on the back and costs more than £500 is a ripoff, for £2k it's a very very poor choice.

Ever driven or owned one?It's not just a terrible car compared to the beemer, it's just not a very good car all round...
It may be a terrible car compared to your Beemer but there's a lot worse to be had at the money. I have an Escort and aside from having a rubbish engine, the gearbox is nice, the steering is resposive and i like the driving position. Its all down to personal taste. Personally for the money, dare i say it, a mondeo would be a good choice![]()
