Ford : moonstone blue RS500

Nice car. Shame about the price.

The guy is in Cuckoo land if he thinks he'll get £45,000 for it. Plate or no Plate.

I think his illness is insanity

Say a mint ex-concours RS500 last year (in Black) up for £19k. So based on that, this guy thinks someone with a RS500 would value the plate at approx £26k. Yeah right.

His wife probably told him to sell it but he didnt want to

Does look a nice car, but as you say well overpriced.

I do love seeing things like this, 1 owner for 20 years and such low mileage. Plate must be worth less than £10k though.

Icon it may be, but its still a 20 odd year old Sierra when all is said and done.

RB5SCOTT

Nice car but at the end of the day its only an old sierra and not even fast by todays standards. £45000 grand for a nippy sierra aint for me even if its an RS classic!!

slim_boy_fat

Probably worth £30k mind.

" i'm really trying to sell it dear, just seems no-one is interested??? i'll keep it for another year or two...... "

Surely shes rumbled that one

scoobynutta555

You can't fault the guy really for chancing his arm at that price. It's certainly a very difficult car to price. After all they may be the one person out there that'd willingly pay 50k.

i will charge u to look at it if i athink you are not serious what a ***

scoobynutta555

Not a bad idea. I'd like to charge the timewasting robbers that call me up when I have a car for sale offering pages of buyers wanting my car on their nonexistant database. And I always put no canvassers or telesales on the advert.

How come the passenger door is a different colour to the rear panel next to it?

If I had the money, I would probably buy her and keep her swathed in polish in a heated garage for the rest of its life.
beautiful.

I am going to go round, mess him around and give him a tenner as that what he seems to want.

I never go anywhere near cars advertised with 'No Timewasters', I do have the option to view without buying when looking at a car and prefer not be labelled a timewaster.

The only time I responded to one like that, funnily enough it was an XR4i, I drove a long way and was a timewaster as the car was a bin, the seats looked like the manky fleabag selling it conducted his sex life in it, he was selling cos he had been banned and it had stickers with little pictures of cats crossed out like a WW2 pilot.

TBH I wouldn't pay £45 for it, just look at that dash..!

EddScott

Walkers lancia recently sold a Lancia EVO 2 with 4000 KMS for £40K to a collector.

They have a Final Edition at £36K. Granted 45K is alot but it wouldn't surprise me to see it go for close to that.

Come on folks, this aint just some old sierra we are talking about, it's a true classic with BIG *****! As for not being quick for todays standards, you've obviously never driven one!! Massive tunning potential, they already have the T4 turbo, and 8 injectors ready to be plumbed in! these things are good for 500bhp when sorted correctly, and will last forever if looked after well! Price tag is a bit much though, but I wouldn't say that far off for a minter like this!!

still just an old Sierra....with rotting sill's, the dash board just needs a Vanila tree hanging from the dials

Plus being a ford, I suspect the carpet will be damp

GazTheHat

The rear spoiler lOOks like something tacked onto a nova/saxo you see nowadays. Used to be a legend car, but lOOks so outdated & old.

stilover

As per my original post. I had the chance to buy a mint RS500 last year. Only I don't have a garage to stick it in, so couldn't consider buying it.

I'd love a mint Sierra/Escort Cossie to bring out on sunny Sundays.

Still wouldn't pay £45k for one even if I was a Millionaire.

classic Subaru Si

Yeah, I agree mate - still a rare find with that sort of miles on it though!!

scoobberdoo

I know a guy in Ireland that has a Mk2 Escort RS1800 with 30k miles on it. It's in concours condition (you could actually eat your dinner from the underneath) and has won lots of trophies and stuff at RS events. He turned down an offer of £25k for it 3 years ago. Personally, I thought he was mad, but when you look at this I'm not so sure!

Does this car have more cred than the RS500? I think maybe it has! What would the Escort be worth today?

Beef

Are you mad? Cars need to be driven, not looked at. I feel so sorry for the poor cars that end up in the hands of collectors who don't use them. They spend their whole life looking at the underside of a dust cover, and only get to see outside when being sold to another collector.

classic Subaru Si

Because it's a damn fine example, and you'd certainly want it to hold it's value!! If you wanted one to **** about in at the weekend, get one for 15 - 20k!!

I thought the same

Is worth a lot of money, but as most people have said not £45.

A great addition to a collection...

skinters

Was utterly underwhelmed by the pictures - was expecting more but it just doesnt do it for me at all - looks tired and dated without looking like a classic (I know thats what its meant to look like). Maybe in another 5 years it will have a classic essence to it. Hilarious attempt though.

scoobynutta555

Never a truer word said! I even find it strange that people waste their time prepping cars for concourse competitions, utterly pointless. A car, especially a performance car deserves to be driven. Keeping it in good condition is all well and good, but adding tiny miles and anally cleaning a car is a sign that someone doesn't have much of a life! I haven't cleaned mine inside or out for about 6 months I think.

All that says is your a dirty manky b@stard

You'll be telling us you just turn your underpants inside out to get another day out them!!!
