£2500 - MOT till March and Tax till April

93,000 miles

iaind · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:24

2500!!!?! What am I missing?

Looks like a chavved up XR2i to my eyes - that cant possibly be worth that much surely?

Happy · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:26

Walk away, that's not worth half that :eek:

ethos · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:26

Looks sweet, not chaved up at all?

What's the spec?

Sin_Chase · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:26

It better have something pretty damn special under the bonnet for that cash!

Without knowing ANYTHING about the car how can you make that judgement?

melchy · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:27

Depends whats been done to it. It may very well be worth the money.

RS Turbo i assume

So what do you want? Advice? Help? Kudos for not yet having bought a car? Tips on image compression? :confused:

Gave up trying to download it when i got to 500kb on gprs and it was only half way.

Sin_Chase · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:27

Oh and that front numberplate is terrible.

Get the light cluster back in asap.

peterattheboro · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:27

It does look chavved up and the front fog lights are just plain wrong.

iaind · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:28

Ah, I had forgotten there was an RS turbo.... but still.... 2500 for a J reg fiesta with foglights on only one side and nasty alloys? You could get something a lot better

Not necessarily.

You would be surprised the amount of "VCR 00:00 Flashers" there are in the world. The date/time is likely not set.

Morba · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:29

FRSTs are rather nice

still prefer escorts and S1's at that!

sorn21 · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:29

It doesn't look like an RS to me, which is what I would expect for that cash. Most likely XR2i?

Does look reasonable, but few refinements to get it looking better;

Lose the bonnet vents, they are gash.
Lose the Chav reg plates.
The red ring on the rims, looks terrible too.
Get the mirrors c/c.

Apart from that, nice motor, I love old Fiestas.

mexes · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:29

it is an rs turbo.

Shep_Cobain · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:29

Rs turbo, alloys are rs2000 and its nice.

Its a modern classic. I am open to all opinions though

Happy · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:29

ignore

Dr House · 30 Sep 2009 at 21:29

I will give you my old 1997 1.25 for half that, its even got leather!

This "chaved up" gets thrown around way too easily.

It's not THAT far off standard?

Chaved up = something like this:
