What is this car worth?
Discussion
As per title, what do the PH brigade reckon this car is worth:
The car is a red 1996 Fiesta Encore 3 door, ok nothing special, but with a genuine 19000 miles on the clock.
My mate has offered it to me if I want it or it suffers a fate worse than death by going on Ebay. He bought it from his next door neighbour who bought it new and has known the car all its life, so no question about the mileage being genuine.
The car was fitted with seat covers when bought and they are still on the seats. It drives like new and everything works.
It has been serviced/MOTd every year at the same time and the book stamped up, last one was this March when it got a new MOT at the same time.

To any normal person its a 14yo Fiesta so maybe 5 or 6 hundred.
But given its condition it could be worth upto 1500 to the right person who is looking for a timewarp Mk3.
Given you can buy a half decent Mk3 Fiesta XR2i/Rs1800/Si for about 1500 I personally would be hoping to get it for less than a grand, really depends what you plan to do with it.

Worth bugger all. It's not desirable. It's not a classic. It'll sell as it'll make someone a fine first car but that's about it.The car is a red 1996 Fiesta Encore 3 door, ok nothing special, but with a genuine 19000 miles on the clock.

A 1996 Encore model would be a Mk4 shape so It's no good as a XR2I base.

I guess about a grand top, It's a basic model, most likely a 1.3 as well, It would make a nice first car though.
Pretty much the way I see it.Cheap to tax/insure/maintain, easy to fix (no complicated electrics etc), 1.3 OHV so not even a timing belt to worry about - hassle free old style motoring.
