Who Bought The Cosworth RS in Autoweek? - The Ford Focus Forum

**Feffman** · 10-26-2009, 08:25 AM

Hi All:

Hope this hasn't been covered, but I saw a Cosworth RS advertised in Autoweek. By the time I got to the web site, it was SOLD.

He who hesitates! SIGH!

No idea but it looked like a nice car. I wonder what it went for? Maybe 23k?

**02ztsian** · 10-26-2009, 08:52 AM

It was listed at $42K.

**jinstall** · 10-26-2009, 08:58 AM

lol

**Great One** · 10-26-2009, 09:32 AM

I can assure you it wasn't me

**OmniFocus** · 10-26-2009, 10:04 AM

Tasty car, great color, great price. I'd club a baby seal or two in order to own that car.

**SRT Junky** · 10-26-2009, 10:35 AM

That car, is every possible kind of awesome there ever was...

Change baby seal for "Prius driver", and I'm right with ya.

Heck, I'll do that even without promise of this car.

**MrBirdman330** · 10-26-2009, 02:20 PM

That's the Cossie I want too, the color the rims, the style. GAHHHHH!

**boostedzx3** · 10-26-2009, 03:23 PM

How about clubbing Prius drivers with baby seals?

Right but it's funnier the way I said it

**Feffman** · 10-29-2009, 04:57 PM

OK perhaps one in red. Get your check books out. Here's another Cossie RS.

**MrBirdman330** · 10-29-2009, 06:16 PM

I wouldn't pay 26k for a car with those issues.

**OmniFocus** · 10-29-2009, 06:52 PM

I would!

Odds are I saw that car 15 years ago... unless there is another red EsCo in Portland.

**o2_designs** · 10-30-2009, 11:39 PM

It was me...

**svt3d** · 10-30-2009, 11:53 PM

I would by that red cossie in a heartbeat...Just need the 26k to drop on another car!

**pzev04boy** · 10-31-2009, 12:48 AM

There are a couple of them local to me. Both are highly modified. Amazing cars.

Ha? Issues? The rear defroster not working... the A/C not working quite right, and needing a new window regulator?

We've had way more trouble with that with cars 13 years newer.

**MrBirdman330** · 11-01-2009, 10:55 AM

No that car needs a whole new Windshield, that's very difficult to acquire and have shipped to the US. That alone is almost a grand if not there or more. Also figure what type of AC refrigerant it probably uses and getting new HVAC parts for it. I wouldn't pay over maybe 20k for this Cossie. Not to mention getting all the Ford Badges, and any other parts that are needed to authenticate this Cossie.

**6spd_RS** · 11-01-2009, 12:33 PM

What a bunch of pansies! Seriously, you are missing the point. So it's not a mint specimine, that's great! It's a perfect driver.

Yeah it's a bit pricey but I bet you won't see more than a handfull of these in your lifetime at that price. Buy it, and drive the piss out of it, then sell it to someone who can afford to bring back to original specs.

**SpecterXP** · 11-01-2009, 01:04 PM

mmmm, Such a beautiful car! That guys had one heck of a write up on it too. Someone got a nice car. Lucky.. Just lucky. lol

**tallguy2.3** · 11-01-2009, 05:29 PM

That red one seems really reasonable.

I would love to get behind the wheel of one of these sometime and see what so many people talk about.
