Just Trying to post a picture

BTW its for sale for the price of a home computer as you know



Did it work??

Pete

 

No mate, you've got it wrong, you've somehow managed to post a picture of some nancy hairdressers car instead...

 

Pete - with the way you went on about this when you bought it, I thought it was at least going to be the XR version - just looks like a standard 'scort with the roof chopped off

Nice condition though

DW

 

What's the spec of the PC then Pete?

 

ZX 81, unless you get a better offer

 

How much then ???

 

Pete, would you sell the just the wheels, they look cool, i might even give you a fiver for the Ghia badges

Scott

 

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah ok - Some of my own medicine!! Thank you for the 'Really Interesting' comments - NOT!!!! Keep 'em coming!!

Joking aside, REALLY!!, this is a GREAT car for messing about on a sunny day ..................... this will seem really sad, BUT, in the summer when I walked outside in the morning it was by choice that I walked past the Impreza and OPTED to get into the Cabriolet!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? am I mad? NO need for answers to that!!

The XR version was not as nice as this, the Ghia model. The handling is much more like a normal car in the Ghia - the XR is so rough in comparison ........... and you buy a Cabriolet to CRUISE not BRUISE !!!!!

I honestly cant believe the condition for a 15 year old car, I popped it up on the 4 post lift for a look see underneath in the summer - no rust whatsoever!! I was amazed!!

Anyway - I just posted to see if the picture worked ...... I never expected you lot to EVER appreciate class!!

Pete

 

It might be the 7" wheel trims that are puting people off - look slike it is hovering like the Luke Skywalker flying buggy thing in Star Wars.

DW

 

thats the first time I have seen a white skip

 

I'll give you twenty quid for it, if you replace the wheel trims with some natty gold ones

 

Looks pretty smart to me Pete!!

£1200 doesnt get much these days - and as for something that will not lose any money, well, what can I say?

Good Luck Matey

James

 

Mr Manchester - its too far from you, surely??

I am in the Reading - Basingstoke - Newbury Triangle

However, E-mail me if you are serious

Pete

 

I have heard of trains you know!

HOW MUCH????

 

To You Mr Manchester, and seeing as its winter and you will want a bargain!!

£1200 ..... cant do much with £1200 can you??

Pete

If you ARE serious and not just 'avin a larf then e-mail me and I will send more details and some photos, ok?

 

Now, I just KNOW that you want to see that picture again

Did everyone who e-mailed me get their photos? ....... sorry about the naked blonde model on one of them, hope you didnt mind

Pete

 

pslewis, sorry but i think your price is a tad too high, considering the age and mileage.

I was looking at your car for my missus but i can get a newer mint XR3i cab for less money, i work in the car trade and ive been checking the guide and asking traders for an idea of what its worth and we all came up with £400 to £500 max.

SORRY! Andy.

 

And you have the cheek to tell us that Scoobs with gold wheels are for tarts????????............. Does it come with hair dryer and brush and comb set YOU BIG TART!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
Colin

 

I agree with pete - you cant get one of those for £500 not anywhere - I DO work in the trade!! and not as a cleaner either - plenty of rubbish out there ...... but that is still over £1k

its winter and a slow market but once spring hits you wont find them anywhere

£1200 is a weeks wages for fkcu sake - no pleasing some is there pete? paint the wheels a nancy gold and you may sell it better

james

 

Excuse me!? I have worked in the car trade for the past 2 years BUYING and SELLING cars, not the valeter.

And i will buy the £500 XR3i cab as it is better than your 99,000 mile 15 year old car anyway!

And as for the insurance, it was 2 days out of date, all as i can do is appoligise for making that MISTAKE and how sorry i am for not being as perfect as PSLEWIS (the car trader).

You make me

Try and sell it for £1200 and i bet youve still got it this time next year.

 

You have rattled his cage now pete!

Hes no dealer, at 22 hes just a kiddie - go easy with him ... his mouth seems to overtake his brain!

Of course we can all pick and choose our cars - but your 'MINT' £500 XR3 does NOT exsist mate - so be careful if you think it does - someone is stitching you up...................... I'm afraid its back to hoovering out those cars for you

Pete

Oh YES, Parkers say £930 by the way, just for your info.

Valuation for: Ford Escort 1.6 Ghia Cabriolet 5-speed

Year / Reg Above Average

1987/ D £930

You cant buy this car off me for £930 however Its just NOT for sale at less than £1200 ........... when you look at some, then you realise how rare mine is, with its A1 pedigree (all MOT's and ALL history plus Fully stamped service book!!!) you will see how well a weeks wages can be spent!

Enough said, you cannot afford a proper one, and mine is not for sale to you, I hope you enjoy your £500 MINTER!! ha ha ha

is that realy the average wage ?
BUG*ER now I know I'm in the wrong profession

That is one lovely looking MK3 escort Cabriolet
Sad to think that you actualy bought a Mk 3 escort Cabriolet though

If you earn that much you ought to at least have a few brain cells in the correct position . but there's no accounting for taste ...

Good luck Hope you sell it soon and thanks for the entertainment your'e a star

 

Pete
Hi there
May i be a bold as to suggest you advertive you (s)cab on POTN

WWW.potn.com

good luck

Paul

 

Yes, its the average wage - I am paid slightly more??? isnt it??

Its my 3rd car I have the others of course - it was too good not to have it at that money for summer fun and it REALLY is fun you know??

 

www.potn.com wont work??

Pete

 

It may be cheap... but its still white and sh1te

Jza

 

i cant even be arsed with you pslewis, i guess im just more mature than you.
im gonna leave this tread now and go and buy my cab, ill run it for 6 months and put it on the sales pitch.

Some wise words for you pslewis......you cant polish a turd.

 

Good thread.... and a nice looking car.

£1200 the average weekly wage. Where, and any jobs going?

Mr Manchester - buying and selling cars, how come your profile says driver? Didn't see you listing any £500 cabriolets above - sure you're not getting confused with buying a taxi cab?

Mike.

 

maybe you should all grow up, the car is a turd and scoobs for sale dont get this much attention.
