it seems a fair price problem is the XR3i always had poor residuals compared to the RS turbo.
Only enthusiats buy them today so they to sell for pittence.
My dad cashed one about 7 years ago and only got 1200 for it and that was pretty mint and all.
As what can go wrong with them?
CVH's ten to be tappy otherwise bulletpoorf engines
main concern on old fords were the body of the car.
check for rust in :
battery tray
inner cavity on models with sunroofs
arches
front turrets
and inner boot floor for rust as they have a habbit of rusting inside out 
Should be punting out 105 BHP and do 60 in 9 secs and top out at 105mph post 90 models ran EFI oposed to MPI
