1986 Mk4 Escort 1.3L 5 door

[Indie]

This is a genuine low mileage (30,000)one owner, always garaged car of the type that pops up when the elderly owner decides to stop driving.
It's a 5 door, 'Mid' blue, no rust, a few parking 'dings', wind up windows, bashed n/s mirror with an MOT until March 2014 and taxed until Nov 2013.

This description is from the man's daughter who I work with who is seeking my opinion of value.

I have no other description or details I'm afraid but have been promised a photo (of the car).

Now I know we all want blood when buying but as it's a drive away option ( and fairly economical )I was thinking
she could ask around £450 - £500 .....? or not ?

If its tidy with that mileage id pay £500 and its also an early mk4 so in my eyes worth saving.

[willowandmikey]

£500 sounds reasonable if there's no rust

I'd push it nearer the grand mark

I paid £340 for a 1990 MK4 5 door (1.3 HCS with a 4spd box) in Maritime Blue with 31,000 on the clock - one owner from new, garaged all its life, genuine mileage and just had a new exhaust (body is immaculate with a few stone chips).

Looking at the prices now, I'd imagine it would sell for roughly £600. However, i've seen them sell for £300/400 too so it depends on how much someone is willing to pay.
