              I really do love the 500, it's my true passion. But I probably never can afford one. Happy with the 3dr I got, but maybe fancy a chance to and Escort. Just to try something different.

                      Worth it if you can spare the cash, value will just carry on climbing. Always someone out there willing to pay big prices.

                        I like 500, it is limited, more desirable but does it really worth 3x standard 3dr. It looks more agressive than regular 3dr but that are the bits that you can easilly fit. It is 500 of 5500, 5500 is already very limited production. I mean it is the same thing as Monte, Focus RS500, Merc E500 Limited and so on. It is the same car but slight different, it should be more expensive but 20, 30% max, not 300%. The market dictates the value but in this case is unreal, it something like Merc evo1 and 2, that are 2.3-2.5 16V models with some, on the evo2, much more plastic and xxx /500 sticker. Mercs even look bit different but 95% of auto enthusiants cann't tell the difference between 500 and 3dr. I heard many people calling 3dr, Sierra 500.
                        Would you rather have black, white and moonstone 3dr than one 500?
                        I look on the cars how they appear, how they drive and never as a future investment, I am looking for me not for the some guy in few years.

                          3doors is not cheap anymore either, a low mile full history car is not far away from 500 prices... Never got to know price on the "New" 3door here with 97km on clock... But rumors says well over 100k euro...

                          All cossies Are limited, and not many good ones left of any of the modell...

                            Undoubtedly Ben, just nothing better IMO. But nice to have a full armoury of RS's if funds would allow

                              Absolutely, if only funds would allow. Although with the prices of 500's I do feel there are probably better cars out there for that sort of money but would mean going away from the ford brand
