Thats just barmy!!! Unless its gonna be a garage queen (which is pointless) you'd be better getting one for about 14k which, in my opinion is still too much.

Werent they about 20k when new?

Know what you mean. When I had my Focus RS, speaking to other owner's, they garaged them and never drove them ???? Why ?????? One guy had only done 700 miles in 2 years, had never had it out in the wet, and had it out in the dark either. Very pround of that, he was.

Me too. Only having a lack of Garage would be the only thing stopping me. You still can't park a Cossie out on the street without some Fcukwit having a go at it.

Rather ironic, the advert states never used in the wet.

Yet in the photo's the car looks like like its just been rained on!!!

But it might just be my dodgy screen.

I don't she was out in the rain, maybe he's just washed it? Looks stunning but i must agree with the point of why on earth buy suh a car to never use, seems mad unless you are buying it from a business point of view as a future classic car, be easier and cheaper to put your cash into a bank as at least you won't have the road tax & insurance to worry about

Complete waste of a car, 3000m in 13 years, thats about one tank full per year, what the hell is the point of owning it.

Takes all sorts I guess

My ex bought me a 1/18 model of an Escort Cosworth and told me I shouldn take it out of its box as I would be worth some money in a few years...its now covered in dust and missing a wing mirror...I've loved every minute of ownership LOL

Its a 13yr old Ford with a very low mileage. Shame it lost its originality with the naff cam cover and badly paited rocker cover.

Can't argue with that statement. I am purplexed by people owning such a car just to polish the fecking thing. It needs a good hammering around a track and blasting some good old group n type country lanes.

Has it been serviced properly with such a low mileage?

I agree with all that's been said about not driving the bloody thing.
