Title: Facelift Rear Lights - Full Set & Brand New Post by DazRSK on Aug 7th, 2006, 6:05pm If anyone is interested, I have, for sale on ebay, a full set of brand new facelift (1998) Scorpio saloon rear lamps - all 3 pieces. I bought them from the Ford dealer on July 28th, having ordered them back in February this year. The main reason for sale is that, in the interim period, I have already bought and fitted a 2nd hand set of facelift lamps - I had totally given up on waiting for the ordered set to appear from the Daventry Parts Warehouse. Surprise, surprise......the dealer phoned me in July to tell me that the lights were in and I was in a muddle as to whether to buy them and replace the used set on the back of mine or whether to ask dealer to return them. So I decided the former and have susequently decided to sell them on instead. I picked up my 2nd hand set really cheap, as they are a bit tatty and have decided that I would be able to sell the new set of lamps more easily. Anyway, here is a rare chance to buy an unfitted set of 1998 style lamps. I haven't attached the ebay link here, as I figured if you are really interested you can search under 1998 Facelift Scorpio Rear Lights on ebay and find the auction. Sorry - the advert is a bit waffley but, unlike you guys on here, some ebay public probably wouldn't have a clue what a facelift Scorpio looked like. Plus, imho, the facelift version does look better than the earlier version - hence the reason for fully facelifting mine. I would prefer, now, for these to run the full auction as I have already had 1 bid within the first 24 hours of these being on there. And there is no charge for postage & packing - now that is a refreshing surprise!! Daren PS - don't be fooled by my ebay id. I have used the name I only use at the weekends........only joking!!! It's my wife's id. |

Title: Re: Facelift Rear Lights - Full Set & Brand Ne Post by DazRSK on Aug 8th, 2006, 9:05am I wish I could keep the new ens, Matt. Well....there's nothing actually stopping me but the old ones are a bit tatty with a few cracks - they're not grim, just not perfect. Baz got £200 for his ? Well that's what I hope I could achieve with these but we will see. To be honest - £200 is a bargain vs £265 from Ford new. And someone can have them at the end of this week instead of end of this year. Anyway, we'll see how far the auction goes. |

Title: Re: Facelift Rear Lights - Full Set & Brand Ne Post by Baz on Aug 9th, 2006, 10:43pm The funny thing was that I only paid £175 for the whole car!! and I sold the front facelift grille for £30.00 so I still have a complete car that has already shown a profit! |

Title: Re: Facelift Rear Lights - Full Set & Brand Ne Post by DazRSK on Aug 10th, 2006, 10:00am Do you guys think these facelift versions are in a bit of a unique position ? What I mean is that take any other Ford model of the recent 20 years. I can't think of many 2nd hand parts from say, a Sierra or early Mondeo or Escort (perhaps not RS or limited editions) where buying the part new from Ford is nearly as cheap as a 10 year old item. It must be to do with the scarcity and that they are so sought after. It's a bit like living in the Ferrari world - where you buy something and make an investment a few years later (well nearly). ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Facelift Rear Lights - Full Set & Brand Ne Post by DazRSK on Aug 21st, 2006, 1:29pm I've spotted another difference that nobody mentioned in the very comprehensive lists already provided. Sorry!!! Bit of a feeble difference really, however, still part of Ford's revised policy. All Ultima's lost the manual box - only auto's available on this spec. (and yes, I know this was no difference for the 2.9 lumps which would only come with this option anyway) |

Title: Re: Facelift Rear Lights - Full Set & Brand Ne Post by Baz on Aug 29th, 2006, 10:58pm All good executive motors come with an auto box. Why mess about with the wobbly stick routine when you really want to concentrate on the driving..........unless the auto box goes west in Paris and leaves you stranded (well sort of) ;D |
