i can get 1000 trade in on the 206 for it other wise prob break it for bits the engines no good the other bits are good exsept the shell its well rusty all it needs is rear pannels then the shell will be fine
but i dnt have the time tools expiriance to put in a new engine and i dnt have the tools to do the rear pannels so ive had to give up :cry:

206, make it look like the rally car! Ford's are the worst cars ever, especially escorts!!

nothing wrong with escorts
i have a mk 5b for a family car
not had many expensive problems with it

hardest job was changing the clutch
and the wishbones are prone to go

my brothers escort mk 6

i don't think either of those cars are any good really. pugs can be fun to drive, but break to easily. all old fords (and by that i mean over about 2 years old) are awful.

look at SEAT ibiza's, cordoba's, and mkIV ('96-'99) vw polo's i reckon. best car you'll get for that money.
