J reg ford escort 1.6i ghia very cheap!!!
hi all
got this as a part ex on another car I had, its in really good condition, and as far as i can tell has an original mileage of just 16900!! its got a good piece of rust on the drivers side arch, apart from that its mint.
the rust can be repaired the replacement arch is about £10 and the work to get it done will cost around £60 - £65, i was quoted just under £80 for it to be done and sprayed
do that you have a mint car, if you dont you still have a mint car but with a small patch of rust, a mate of mine does mots, he said it would pass no probs as is.
it has 4 months mot remaining and 5 months tax.
the bloke who I had it off had it just a short period of time, from an old lady whose husband had passed away unfortunatly, and she didnt drive and it was sat for several years, at that point from what i can make out he was the only owner from new. im guessing the original owner was a mechanic of some sorts going by the look and feel of the car and engine.
it really could do with a good service.
Id say at the price im looking for if you put another £100 in it, you will have a car that will last you literally years and years without hassle.
it drives like new, just feels a bit underpowered, again after a good service id expect this to be fine.
some pics below from my phone im afraid as my digital camera is fooked!
any questions, leave them here, or pm me whatever? looking for £450 ono, its advertised elsewhere, be quick as i dont expect to have this for long.
