Have a look at Parkers Guide,http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/used-prices/Valuation.aspx?deriv=11756& ;plate=55&buysell=sell
it says
Ford Scorpio Saloon (95-99)
2.3 16V Ultima 4d Auto 1997/P
Average mileage 90,000 miles
Original Price £23,675
Independent Dealer £1,050
Private Good £975
Private Poor £590
Part Exchange £785
yours is a 1996 and has higher miles. I don't want to be negative etc it is a nice carbut it's woth jack squat. Get it sorn'd and keep it.
so good luck

well the final winning bid wa £825 so it did not make the reserve.........I predicted no more than £975 so a fair price. But did it sell  ??

IF it sells now, it'll be to a member on here  . It's not the end of my Scorpio story, more than likely I'll pick up another later in the year if I get the chance, watch this proverbial space 
At these prices I keep thinking about a facelift 24v...black with pumice leather would do me nicely...
BUT, the way things are at the moment it's too much of a luxury to have 2 cars. Still a lot to do on the house (skirting, doors, not to mention the state of the outside, did I mention it still has standing walls? ) and being in and out of work like a yoyo at the moment, I could do with the extra few £££ the sale will bring. I got enough stick for buying the Jag (you did WHAT?!), if the Scorpio stays the chances are I'll get neutered before the spring 
Regards, Bruce.

The girl costs more to run than the car if you need to save some money

Indeed that is true Stuart, I'll repeat your comments and point her torwards your address armed with Scorpio rear axle filled with sand 
The link says it all...while everybody else was haggling over the condition and price this chap went ahead and bought it, collecting it over the weekend I hope. I'm genuinely sad now, I love the old Scorp but at the moment it's just not practical...he's getting a good car for the money.
Off to drown my sorrows...and rebuild the throttle body on the Jag (don't ask, 3000rpm idle on a 4.0 is not fun  )
Regards, Bruce.

Not a bad price as Scorpio prices go.
Now just keep a look out for a nice 24v Ultima

Ahhh well, it's gone 
Buyer collected this evening, he was really pleased with it on first glance. Never realised how much I thought of the Scorp, very hard to watch someone else get in and drive it away as I caught a last glimpse of those tail lights disappearing around the corner...
...not to say I was choked but very sad, a bit like losing an old friend. I love the XJ to bits but I'm missing the Scorp already, anyone want to bet on how long I'll last before I succumb to a facelift ash black 2.3 or 24v with pumice leather? 
It's true that you never know how much something means until you lose it (like certain other things in life ), had that car just over two years now and it feels like I've owned it all my life...
Another donation to the site as soon as the money clears, new owner has promised to join too. Off now to put some sounds on and drown my sorrows with single malt
Regards, Bruce.
