Better than 25k for a 21 year old Ford, or 26.5k for a 42 year old Ford.

It's all down to supply and demand really.
Car would be worth more if black obviously.

If I had that much money to spend, it'd be ok 'cause I was rich.
But £5k is realistic to most

Christ yeah.
I took mine out of the garage yesterday to do something and I had nightmares last night that i'd forgotten and left it on the drive and it had been stolen. 
That's standard paranoia by the way.

I gave 8.5k for mine.
Such a bad thing to have in your life.
Bit like having a gorgeous, but meth/crack/PCP addicted girlfriend who insists on going out in knickers, high heels and a 'rape me' Tee shirt, near the local rapist's asylum.
Talk about heartache, stress, high maintenance and sleepless nights.

I think it does but the boost is turned down so it can be used for an everyday car. It shall not be used as one tho if i bought it.

If it is rust free and clean its worth 4k all day long as you will easily be spending this on body work and rebuilding the fucker.
You couldnt build that car for 5k basically.
Also as mentioned it needs a garrage and really isnt an every day car.

I'd spend 5k on that but only as a toy, wouldn't spend 5k on it to use everyday as within no time at all it will lose its mint-ness.

It wasn't sounding pretty Eck. She's lumpy as fuck when cold which seems to amplify the effects of the apparent bag of bottle and tin openers that someone has secretly attached to the flywheel.
I got her up to full running temp where she smooths out nicely and purrs like a little kitty cat and the noise is considerably less apparent.
Was SO tempted to give her a massively illegal blast up the road but common sense prevailed.
I took a couple of shit phone pics of her covered in dust and so on.
Garage is much tidier now, so she now has a comfier nest to lounge about in and without wearing an MG bumper skin as a hat too.

We're not talking about James now Fadsworth.
Not everyone buys an apparently perfect shopping car and reduces it to it's atomic componentry for inspection and cleansing.
