dont be fooled what people ask for cars its what they get thats the trueish value and forget about owners club valuations as they all over value stuff as they have one and they try to keep the price up how many adverts do you see owners club valuation 20k will take 15k for a quick sale
most of us have got these cars because we are enthusiasts,and have been in and around them since we were teenagers.of corse its nice when the value of your car goes up but you see no benifit untill you sell it!
when i bought my mex loads of people told me i was mad paying that for a mex,now 8 years down the road the same people are telling me i bought it cheap.i bought it cause i wanted it and if the value went down i wasent bothered it wasent about the money.escorts were raced ,rallyied and rolled used every day welded up and re used.thats why they became hard to find in good condition.with the modern day rs focus,escorts people bought them to put away for a rainy day,eg the mk1 focus was suppose to be ltd to 2000,to order one a £1000 deposit was taken with the balance of@£17000 to pay on delivery But then ford decided to increase the production i know about 6 people that only put the£1000 down cause they were going to sell there right to buy to make a profit!!there a quite a few low mile escort cosworths about but to buy one new back then@28k you d wait along time for profit and thats alot of money to lay out anyway. i suppose it all relavant when you compare 1970ts wages with the price of a new mk1@£1200 to modern day wages and car prices.i remember telling a board member when he was worried about buying a t/c ,every time you look out the window at your scooby it goes down £50.if you want to sell theTC money back no problem..IME STILL WAITING FOR MY TIP
