Call me Susan, but I rather like that. I dont like the price tag, but otherwise...

Let me take you back, long back to those days when, as a young'un, you couldnt afford to buy something REALLY sporty to impress the local birds.

So what did you do? You went out and bought something that "pretended" to be sporty, you know, asthmatic performance, an interior that would impress your gran etc, etc.

Roll forwards three decades later and relive those memories.

Anybody got a spare £15,000 large ones?

Ok, its a minter but FFS, thats just stupid, isnt it?

[Angrydicky]

I know these are quite rare, but HOW MUCH!!!

Even if it was NOS it would be at least £300 over the top. It isn't, it's a secondhand panel in need of the usual repairs. £60 would be about right. They aren't that rare.

 

Verdict: Clueless joker.

 

Thanks for looking and yes, i know i listed this on April 1st but it isn't a joke - someone please buy it as i need the money to buy yet more gas and welding wire to continue welding up my Cambridges

 

I imagine you'll be waiting a while.

Does anybody want to guess how much this 5800 mile Sierra 1.8 TD Estate is before I post the link??

 

Purchased 14 months ago with just 42 recorded miles warranteed. Original owner purchased the car, took it home, put it in his garage, jacked it up and stored it for 22 years. He started it up and dusted it weekly! I have all records to prove history. Mileage now 5800. I have used it and loved it for 14 months. It returns an average of 40mpg and is a joy to drive,

[Spiny Norman]

I'll play. £5k?

It's gonna be something sensational...

 

Not my cup of tea but perhaps 5 large?

[trigger]

Nope, keep guessing!

[skattrd]

I'm all for using cars, but if you buy a car thats over 20yrs old and still has delivery mileage on it then you don't really want to put 5000+ miles on it do you?

It needed to be hidden away somewhere for another 10-20 yrs until it's worth real money.

[George-Roper]

If affordable classics had it I would expect a 7k pricetag

[vulgalour]

However much it's listed at, it's worth a lot less for having those extra miles put on it, no matter how enjoyable theyve been. I'm going to go higher; £10,000.

Bang on, £7000. Not in a month of Sundays.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

He's defo sawn a huge chunk off the value by upping the mileage from 14 to 6000!!!! What a berk.

[autofive]

at the end of the day, its still a sierra

 

would anyone spend their hard-earned 7k on a sierra?

[trigger]

Cossie, yes, a 1.8TD Ghia Estate, NO!

[mk2_craig]

Those wheel trims and red bumper strips say GLX, those wing badges say Ghia. I'd want it to be one or the other no matter what the price tag

[trigger]

Manual rear windows too so must be a GLX, Liar!

[STUNO]

In the sellers defence he is not advertising it as a Ghia, It's just shiters seeing badges and getting upset

It still is really nice, but what a fool he was to use it.

[oman5]

I agree. he's pissed on his chips by using it. its gone from a one off with a unique selling point (ie, its never been used) to just a nice low mileage sierra.

To the right bod £1500-2000

[CortinaDave]

What a plonker. 42 genuine miles on it and he puts it into his daily commute, but still expects 7 large for it on sale, having wiped out its USP. Having said that, I'd love to own this - and i'd want to use it every day - now that he's already ruined the uniqueness I'd feel less guilty. But at 5800 miles rather than 42 id be paying £2k max.

 

The unregistered Cortina MK5 GL from the ford dealer in sheffield that was sold in 2005 for £10k fetched £18k when it was sold again recently, so something like this can appreciate in value - but ONLY if you continue to not use it.

 

Wonder if he took it to the ford dealer for its free 1500 mile check

[Spiny Norman]

Holy crap, would it kill you to run a jetwash over the thing?

 

[dollywobbler]

Good grief. And he wants strong money for it! Hilarious.

[Pillock]

The Cortina '80 was unregistered when it was sold out of the TC Harrison collection, was it still unplated when it got £18k? This Sierra both has a massive chunk of mileage on it, and a registration mark - so no, it's nowhere near the car that Cortina was. And those trims plus the Ghia badges looked wrong to me too - not saying it affects the price as a 1991 GLX is probably worth the same as a 1991 Ghia, but it still looks wrong as is.

Classified ad price:£10,000.00

Good luck with that

[Pillock]

Nothing says "carefully prepared for sale" like random bits of trim on the floor and the odd fuse left on the dashboard. For £10k I'd want the mats cleaned too. By the saliva of a Middlesborough Virgin.

[cort16]

That Cortina was un registered but would be put on a 13 plate if they registered it now.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

That mini and the 190 are flipping amazing aren't they. It doesnt matter what price range you're operating in, if you can't be arsed to make even the most basic, rudimentary efforts to get a potential buyer 'on your side' you might as well forget it. Hopeless man.

[oldford]

I always thought that the Sierra estate had the hatchback front end, whereas that one has got the saloon front. I suppose that it was for the 1.8 turbo diesel only for better engine cooling. They also seem a bit mix & match on the front bumpers, single long coloured strip or two smaller ones.

[worldofceri]

Honestly, what is the point in buying a car then jacking it up and leaving it for twenty odd years? It's not exactly a work of art, it's a fucking Ford Sierra. There's no way I'd feel guilty about putting my usual 12,000 miles a year on it if I got my hands on it.
