bigstring Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 There's still money out there for a mint Gen 6...... My stunning red one that was just lowered went for £1900 and my Black one for £1800, up for about 3 weeks each.. all the money I chucked at the wight one and could not get a grand for it? heyho....... They seem to sell better in the summer and on Pistonheads..... Sad to say that I am really loving the 7 at the moment though But I was driving a vectra diesel for a month before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsmith79 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Is it just me or from new the Gen 5 GT4 was bout the same cost as an Escort Cossie?? Cossie is now worth how much more than a GT4???? No sense in this world The problem is, there are bugger all Cossies left, so the price keeps going up, there are shed loads of GT4's around, and with imports too the no. will keep going up or at least stagnate with ones being written off or broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but an escort cosworth is a bespoke car, only resembles a normal escort pretty much the whole thing is different even the shell + they dont break cause its ze germans that make zem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsmith79 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Doesn't the Escort Cossie actually share more of it's DNA with the Sierra than an Escort, i'm pretty sure it is a Sierra floor plan with the Escort shell stuck on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghoulie Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) A real Cossie is also 2 inchs longer than a standard mark 5 scort due to the Sierra plan so get the tape out to spot the fakes I can honeslty say if fords where as reliable as toyota i would still be an escort/capri man I actully still am kinda a half Ford guy But yes Mr T is better. Wow I miss my first 5 cars (4 Escorts and a mark one Mundayno) Edited November 26, 2011 by Ghoulscout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
