Bargain Barge - Ford Granada / Scorpio
Discussion
There's a few of these, 1993 - 1997 vintage, starting to appear from the woodwork of one elderly ownerdom with decent miles and at very attractive prices.
Many with the 2.9 V6 and of course, RWD.
So whats not to like, anyone talk me out of buying a big old Ford for silly money as a 2nd car ?

I'm going to call the insurance in the morning and if its spot on, I'm off to see a low miles 2.9 saloon (12v unfortunately) with 10 months MOT and 4 months tax, 2 owners.
Its cheap enough that I can run it for 3 months, sell my diseasel in a months time and then have 2 months to potter about in it while finding a new main car, and sell on without much of a loss

Could be bargetastic, keep us posted Its cheap enough that I can run it for 3 months, sell my diseasel in a months time and then have 2 months to potter about in it while finding a new main car, and sell on without much of a loss
Were they not 160bhp all told,?? So now what 15 years later what are they still pushing out?130?bhp if your really lucky.
Size wise it's much smaller than 5series of today but a big boot rare these days and buttons.
Would it go on the cool wall though? I cannot see it it's ugle for sure and you'd be a geek explaining the cosworth thing over and over to a supermodel. To her it's a big old taxi very ugle big old taxi who's owner is running bangers...
A Dacia sandeep or a Talbot or a Belmont or an Orion would be equally as appealing to the hot lady.
If you already have a hot lady it might be a bad idea to buy this if your looking for a hot lady don't buy this. If your after paper bag over the head and 200lbs fugly go right ahead.
Remember prime goal in life to reproduce with the hottest female possible

so you've got a 206 and now you want a granada? i take it enjoyment of driving is somewhere near the bottom of your buying criteria?
Plan is to sell the 206 and keep the Granny until I find something as a main car, with no hurry.Bought the 206 on the basis of the family owning several Pugs down the years with little issue and that it does really silly mpg. Even ragging it to get the most out of that little turbo kick, it still averages 65....
