One of my relations has a cit saxo 1.4 west coast,has not moved for a couple of months,key fob is broken no spare,battery is flat,so when its connected again the alarm will go off without and wont be able to switch off and it d locked ? s reg roughly 80,000
well he was offered a swap for a E reg rs turbo escort but has hit 100,000 and has a clutch problem
swap or no swap ?

Bit of a no brainer isn't it?

Shite base spec saxo that doesn't work for an RST - take the RST!

Altho, youy've got to question why someone wants to swap a working car for a slower non working one...has the RST got hidden issues?

I wouldnt want the RS especially if it has problems with it. You could buy it and fix the cluthch to find out its the box.

If i ever buy a car it has to be mint and running well to the best of my knowledge.

I would suggest looking on a ford forum for a guide really as there maybe a few ppl on here having owned both but it may take time for them to reply.
