CJ Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I have a 2001 Fiesta Encore 1.3 for sale. It has just failed the MOT on 3 new tyres (part worns are cheap as chips), welding to the sills (quoted 80.00), a track rod end and ball joint. I have been quoted 350.00 for everything to be put right (that included 3 new tyres at 46.00 each) but have decided to either scrap it or sell as spares / repair and buy something a little bit more "fun". I have been offered 140.00 scrap but TBH the car is way too nice to send to the great scrapyard in the sky and would make an ace first car for someone. It runs really well and has a pile of receipts with it showing a goodly amount of history. It is white and the bodywork is good with just a little bit of rust showing on the rear offside arch. The interior is excellent with no rips or tears and benefits from a nice CD player. The first 200.00 can take it off my hands no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Pics going up on Monday as the car is still at the garage and they are not open over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Here are some pics taken in mid October when we bought the car. Nothing much has changed since other than a bit of surface rust showing on the offside rear arch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Wow, that looks really tidy and I'm digging the seats. Only £200? Best get some chain mail gauntlets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want rid now and at 200.00 (for someone with a little knowledge of welding especially) it is a steal. The car runs as sweet as a nut and has no mechanical issues whatsoever.

Morpheus Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 To put that in perspective, I just paid £150 for a car cover. It's also only two tanks of petrol for a Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 That has to be a record, hasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 That has to be a record, hasn't it? To be honest, it wasn't sold off the site as I only had one offer and that was for 160.00! After listing it on ebay, I took an offer and ended the auction early and that gave me the 200.00 plus covered the fees. A good buy for someone.

That's just taking the Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
