I have been offered a second hand escort with 24,000 mls. on the clock £4.250. Bargain ?

try ebay or autotrader websites for a similar spec car to find the going rate

would have thought that's a lot for an escort though.. they stopped making them years ago

suppose it depends on age, and condition

This sounds a bit expensive but does sound like very low milege.

Depends what model / year it is...... ?

You can find a pretty good valuation here:

Parker's Guide (http://www.parkers.co.uk/)

Last ones were made about 3 years ago

If it's one of the very last ones, I would say its very expensive. You can pay an extra grand or so and get a brand new Ka or something similar which may be cheaper on insurance, such as a little Daewoo.

Come on Hal, if you want advice we need to know more about the car.

See Linseyw!!!

Eh ?

A T reg cant be a 97 ............

Mine would be better.............. is a 97 P reg excellent condition 35k miles - body kit fancy alloys Si model - 3 door - yours for 3.5k !!!

After reading the description in more depth I am afraid I feel it's overpriced.

Sorry Hal, but according to Parker's Guide, you should be looking at paying a maximum of £3750. Check out the link I pasted earlier.

You buying it then ? Or you want mine ?
