The final generation Escort is more accomplished than earlier cars to carry the name, with ride and reliability up to 1990s standards. It's a practical, undemanding choice for the family motorist, but lacks the feeling of quality and downright driving pleasure of the Focus that replaced it .

Buying used

There's plenty about so look at a few to make sure you can spot a good one. Don't pay silly money as this is only worth considering as cheap transport. The RS Cosworth requires a much more considered approach. Go over it with a fine toothed comb, ring up previous owners, get it HPI'd and be aware that modifications will decrease its value.

Selling

If reasonably priced, an Escort won't be difficult to sell at all as it's a known quantity with the buying public and something of a default cheap purchase.
