Used Ford Escort for Sale near Hartford, CT

My mom bought it new at a dealer in California for a mere five grand. Amazing how cheap cars were back then. It was just a basic car, with no A/C, no power options, standard transmission. A nice reliable car that got the job done.

My BELOVED cabby! Full S1 turbo conversion, Koni adjustable suspension, lowered 50mm on Pi springs with koni polyurethane bumpstops (front and rear), Goodridge braided hoses, Rear disc conversion, Mongoose GrpA stainless exhaust, adjustable anti-roll bar, rear anti-roll bar, single wiper conversion, power hood, Mk IV dash and s2 loom with heated screen, Clifford concept 500 alarm with microwave sensors, push button start and League 075 17" alloy wheels :)

Performance: Only a 1.6 so is not fast, even though this XR3i is supposed to be a sporty model. But it was built in 1985! Brakes are Ok. Handled Ok. A bit understeery. Build Quality: Good, Nothing to go wrong on this car! Appearence: Lovely. Had £7,000 worth or restoration work not long ago so was lovely. Cost of Ownership: Heavy on fuel for a 1.6, but again this is a 1985 car. Classic car insurence though, so very cheap. Fun Factor: Great fun. Everyone loves a Fast Ford

Just bought it with 100€ and it was worth of every penny and lasted until all the electric wires suddenly burned. I had a Brazilian version with a 1.6 german engine -not a rocket, but reliable. The real bargain would be the RS Turbo -model.

This was a 'runaround car' while I was saving up for my next motor. It was a bag of nails really not far off the one pictured. Can't grumble though because I got it cheap off a good friend. It was a 1300cc.
