It will help if you put some photos and spec of your RS up mate, and say if its an NA or turbo you are after

[Rickwoo118]

[welsh_vx220]

[Rickwoo118]

Looks nice. What spec is the RS and what's it worth to you?

[welsh_vx220]

The Spec of the car is 53 plate, 40k miles. FSH, with massive folder of reciepts. cambelt was done at 38k The car currently has the following: Engine mods: GT28 conversion Nortech manifold Milltek downpipe, and Blueflame exhaust k&N Gen2 Prol Alloy A2A Bailey DV30 Dumpvalve Forge Actuator. gizzmo boost controoler blue hose us spec coolant cover Interior wise: Ghia Wiper stalk, and interior light Scanguage 2 in a mcdavep mount Phantom Boost Gauge sparco mats (original included) brand new alcantara steering wheel gizzmo boost controller Exterior wise US spec rear lights, and standard ones spare H&R lowering springs Front splitter Smoked Headlights and indicators colour coded door handles car has just had a brand new set of super swirl dics and pads all round (yet to be fitted) oil and filers inc pollen and fuel filter and gearbox oil to come with it if i havent had time to get it serviced was last serviced at 38k in july this year the car has never wanted for nothing and is a great example of the mk1 focus rs only bad point i could say is the usual odd stonechips to the front price is firm at £10,500

My old rs misss this alot

£10,500 for a 53 Reg Focus RS?? That did surprise me! Thought it would be a lot less than that

[TheRealVXed]

The RS is worth £8.5 tops if the bodywork is pristine judging by Parkers and what is going on on Autotrader etc. http://www.parkers.c...9/?yearplate=74 adjust for your milage will take it up to around £8k plus your mods up to £8.5k ish. If I was looking to sell it privately I would put it on AutoTrader/Pistonheads at £9.2k and see what happened and settle for £8 to £8.5 depending on interest.

Unmolested and pristine you might scrape £9.5k. All IMO obviously. GLWTS

As with any modified car, quite often it's easier to sell and you will get more if you revert to standard and sell the good bits separately. Always liked these but the interior is a little to much for me. Looks like a nice example, just imagine what might happen in the future to unmolested ones, looking at some of the other old special RS models. GLWTS

[Tom220SC]

Looks a nice example though!

[craigb78]

hahahahaaaaa i love what people on here value things at all of you are talking rubbish this RS is worth way more than you lot are saying its a 9.5k car all day long. i have already sold this very cheap at £9250 8 months ago and i didnt even have it up for sale. if any of you guys go on the rs owners club you will realise people liek the RS with these 28 conversions and alot who buy standard change for a hybrid GT25 or 28. so really if you dont know what its worth and your going to judge it by the parkers guide? then dont bother commenting as if you look at what a vx turbo is worth on parkers i bet it isnt as much as they all go for. over. plus IMO i have offered the lad my vx220 and £800 which i would happily pay to have this car again aslong as its in as good condition as when i had it. and my cars up for 9300 which is the cheapest turbo by 1700 for sale. so this goes to show what i value it at.

I didn't really understand a word of that.

I didn't really understand a word of that.

I think he wants to buy the car he sold, for more than what he sold it for? Therefore a good buy and justifies the sale?

[christhegasman]

I would swap for my standard NA which is worth at least £ 15000 not what you lot think as you all know nothing and nor do Parkers or any other dealer guides 😄

I nearly fell off my chair chris, 15k thats a bargin.

[christhegasman]

Ha ha hi dean hows the christmas and new year ? course it is a real bargin😃😀😊 Just pointing out after a few beers that it really dont matter what any seller thinks his car is worth or how much the mods cost if he want to sell its only worth what some one will pay (look at the last few sc vx that have sold recently hence my tongue in cheek price ) Ya I would love to sell mine for 15000 but probably get way less than half that so that's the way the market is this guys focus might be the dogs danglies and it does look nice but if he wants too much for an 11 year old car he will still have it in a years time
