Dont get me wrong, this 4 door is a lovely example. but is it really worth 8.5k?  maby its because i bought a decent one a couple years ago for $900 and could only get $1600 when i sold it ( after some work). 
 
suppose its only worth what someone will pay. i guess the days of cheap eskys are loong gone.

    The car's had a full resto including paint. That aint cheap. Prob won't fetch his asking price but it's a good place to start when trying to make back some of that outlay $$$
     
    "Cheap" 4 Doors are still cheap and plentiful :)

    Hot damn!  Those are the seats I'm after, but what do I do with the rest of the car?

    WTB: Recaro seat - any condition considered

    Ive seen escorts in this condition sell for around 8g so yes its not overpriced.

    Looks like someone has spent a lot of time & money to complete what I think is a great looking car. Surely worth the asking price.

    I'm a big fan of 4 door cars. My first RS was a four door and was a much more practical vehicle than my current one.
    There is a lot of bias towards coupes mainly from the UK perspective but I, personally, would buy a decent condition 4dr over a rough coupe (for similar price)



     
    I agree, in the MK2 the four door sedans can look really schmick if done right.
    4 door MK1's however..
