400hp on standard brakes

Been on Ph for about 6 weeks - rare red hex trim in it too

As a side note, when I was at school many moons ago my mates dad had an N reg TD Escort and the reg ended in PBE on that - we used to call it the pube

[M3ni]

Ha ha, re the brakes, that's what trees are for aren't they

Mmmm the pube comment has strangely put me off

28k for cars over 100k where are they pulling these prices from

[Simon T]

Ha yeah, mines standard 240hp car and they are marginal on that after a couple of heavy stops.

Yep - although that does look in good condition for 100k, the seats look very good and I guess like with anything older now the mileage becomes a bit of a 2nd thing compared to condition.

[mikedaf2]

I personally dont think mileage comes into it now if the condition is good unless you are after a concourse show winner. After all 100k is very low millage for the year!

[M3ni]

Not overly worried re mileage as long as the vehicle is correctly maintained.

Been bitten by a "low mileage" car before, not using cars does them no favours at all IMHO.

For "400 bhp" there's zero description of work or who did it. That would put me off. And please change the lower front spoiler colour

Beat me to it, that was a 12k car 4 years ago

How can it be a Lux model with cloth seats??

[Simon T]

Mines a lux with cloth.

Lux didn't come with leather, it came with things such as a sunroof, heated screen, open rear windows, etc. My car has cloth, no CD player, no air con and a manual sunroof. And that is how it left the factory.

Yes, so I see looking at the brochures - leather was an option on the Lux model, though on my original Purchase Invoice, there's nothing that says I paid extra for it. Always assumed that all Lux models (barring Monté) had leather. You learn something new every day!
