How much did you say???

Browsing through the local Gazette today, always have a butchers through the car adverts (you never know  ). Found this, copied word for word from the ad:
Ford Scorpio Ultima 3ltr
1995, fsh, tax, mot, good runner
£250 ono
How much? Was that a misprint?
Nope, £250ono in big bold letters 
Even if the 3ltr is a misprint and it's really a 2ltr rather than a 2.9, it must still be a 16v. I'm lusting very badly now 
How can our cars get any cheaper? It's a top end premium saloon for barely any more than a year's tax - even if it had to be rebuilt, I call that worth having, for parts alone if nothing else.
Still trying to find a stable job, if I get one soon and need to commute a distance I may well be getting another Scorpio quite soon 
Regards, Bruce.

...it might well be a good runner, but what horrors lurks within ?
It's riddled with ferric oxide,
a transmission, that not only leaks like niagara, but sounds like a sack of spanners falling down a set of stairs,
after it rains the boot is full of water,
everything electric DOESN't work
it don't start when hot,
rather you than me

I bet the fuel tank leaks if you park it facing downhill 
I know the problems with them, I owned one for 2 years and it wasn't exactly trouble free at first. But, £250 for a car with tax and MOT, at the end of the day, for £2000 you could have most of the car sorted...far less than the price of a 10 year old Beemer 318i...I know which one I'd sooner have

Worth it for the spares alone I would have thought.
Where is it?

Well, i bought my immaculate MOT'd cossie a year ago for £200
Reason for it being so cheap was the speedo and o'd didn't work, £45 for a new vss from ford and an hour of my time to fit... hey presto one fully working cosworth!

I sold my 95 16V 2.0 Ultima about 3 months ago, Nothing wrong with it except a tiny hole in the exhaust mid section and a noisy AC compressor. I got 150 pounds for it. Guy MOT'd it after 2 years of been stood and it failed on the said exhaust but nothing else. He probably got the deal of a life time.

Aye Danny, I thought your Scorp went to the big car park in the sky in the end?
Nice to know you managed to sell it, even if not for a great deal

yeah me too, the guy who bought it off me wanted the wheels and the interior and said he would junk the rest of the car. I later finds out he put it through the MOT and is using it as his daily driver. So it lives on for a little while longer
