I am thinking about buying an Sierra cosworth RS500, but havent seen many in Australia. Does anybody know how much they go for these days? Or would it be cheaper to import one from England. Has anyone here had much expierience with these cars, such as service wise replacement part and problems? Any info wouldbe great.

There has been one for sale in NZ for a while, originally asking NZ$ 60k, then dropped to NZ$ 55k.
I'd say you have more luck by going for the standard Sierra Cosworth as there were about 5500 built as opposed to the 500. |
