The masochist in me would STILL prefer a MK6 Escort Estate than a MK1 Focus Estate - despite them being worse by every single yardstick.

I reckon this could be made to be very nice indeed.  Just because it's Autoshite, doesn't mean you have to have a shit example of a shit car.  Nothing to say you can't have a nice one.

Blue interior seems inappropriate for a black car, which makes it all the more appealing.

[BorniteIdentity]

This looks a RIGHT babe, and I don't CARE that you're judging me.

Accented yellow trim on the grey bumpers - offering sporting pretension.  

These really do look dated now don't they.  Context photo below.

I don't think for a moment that it's £1800 yet, but you'd definitely turn a few heads turning up to the kid's football in this.

Couldn’t think of a worse place to buy a car from. Looks like he took it to Tesco Spring Hill as well. Avoid like the plague

You say that, but I bet you wouldn't want one to hit you in the face.

Here we go down a shit car rabbit hole.

Soon enough, £995 will be considered cheap - despite them being miserable heaps with few redeeming features.

A tad salty possibly though I may be out of touch. Love the flatulence release hatch.

K reg madness. ( @egg )

I reckon it'd be quite satisfying - detwatting it.  Stupid wheels in the nearest canal, stupid exhausts getting stamped on repeatedly.  Likely to need a tickle here and there but viable.  

The problem?  At £350 - it's going racing if you're not quick.

Pretty sure that's the one that used to live near me. I don't do facefook so it doesn't come up.

[barrett]

Look you lot, somebody do me a solid and buy this thing so I don't have to, yeah?

Now, you know I HAT Fr0ds because I'm a sophisticated gent and they're cars for knuckle-draggers BUT these things are so WEIRD MAN! Only built for two years, they were rare when they were new but were supposedly loads better than the Mk3 and supposedly go and handle really well. I love the mishmash styling, and the interior looks pretty mega. This one has a clean MoT until July and, although it has a few crusty bits, I reckon would respond really well to some fairly minor cosmetic fettling. Put it away in a nice dry barn and cash-in in a few years when this model is totally extinct. It's £500 and just up the road from me. C'mon!

Controversially, I actually like the Mk6 Escort. Particularly in estate form. I wouldn't mind an estate for the lugging stuff to the tip and that.

You should go for that, @barrett. That was the very last 'shape' of Fiesta before everything went mega dull, imho.

No thx

I realise this is no longer the case but my mind a mk5 or mk6 escort should never exceed £500. I listen to a pod cast were the host asks the guest what one car would you have for the rest of the life and you can have a £500 banger on the side for the dogs and going to the dump.  I always see a mk6  escort estate in my minds eye.  I recon a 1.8 zetec would be pretty nice but a 1.3 encore would be abject misery.

There was a 1.4 bASe spec Fabia Classic on AutoTrader a wee while ago with EHMAHGERD HGF for £495. A wee bit crusty in at the sills but only done 38k, Weegie registered too. If I could be arsed/had the skills for changing a head gasket then it would have been tempting.

Assuming it's the 8v engine they're a piece of piss.  I'm a cack-handed idiot and I managed to change the head gasket on my Felicia in an afternoon.  (Although I did snap a head bolt but we won't talk about that.)

If the price of that is anything to go by then I chronically undersold mine. My old one looks like this now:

No way! 'Sad face' Fiesta IV was a quantum leap forward compared to puddingy MK3. 

But then I would say that as a 'proud' Puma driver.
