sheep Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi guys Trying to get a bit more info on this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=656756119 Have rung the guy & he seems fair enough in his description of the car, but at the same time sounds like a lot of the car work has been DIY (incl. the paint job) & he isn't a skilled mechanic or car painter. I'm in Christchurch & the car is in Whangarei. Any OS members reside in Whangarei that would shoot over & take a quick look around the car for major rust, or major rust that has been bodged up or covered over? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 This car has been on trad me for a while did you see the coment on the gent that insected it and comented that it was not a mexico? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yeah I've been watching it for a while, but I'm interested in finding a tidy condition Mk1 Escort 2 door. I well expect it's not a Mexico because if it was the price would be much higher & the guy selling it would be quicker & more interested in answering his auction questions. I've bought minis sight unseen from trademe before, & sometimes it works out & sometimes it doesn't. When you're spending $5k+ then it becomes wiser to view & inspect the car first But unfortunately it's way up the other end of the country for me.

ESKIN8R Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Contact the guy selling this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/ford/auction-658036777.htm Paul He is the one that viewed it with another escort expert. He will be able to tell you about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
