I can't believe from a poor quality photo that people have concluded this car is crash damaged, such rubbish is spoken on forums along with useful stuff to be fair! Maybe the bumper got scratched at some point like nearly every 7 year old car with the odd battle scar.....???!!! Unless you go and view it you won't know and also the mileage can't be judged without looking at the history.... It's not overly high particularly for the age and if it's had oil changes every 6k using top oils it would be way better than a 40k car that's been neglected.....surely....?!
I dont wanna spend near £6000 on one though, I aint too fussed about mileage, long as everything is sweet, got service history, belts done etc. Looking to pay around £4000 max. I would prefer higher mileage, like 60,000 onwards, because like people say its been run in, long as it aint been run in by some chav ragging it round, or round a track.
With regards to the belts, I think I would just get them done ASAP to be on the safe side, rather get them done, than risk it and then it all go tits up.

I'm sorry, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON THIS FORUM LOL? Beggars belief.
If I had a pound for every time "72k or 5 years" has been written on this forum...
Can you actually read or do you just guess at what all these words people write mean? Fair enough - I completely understodd those who prefer the perceived security of lower mileage cars, but stating the mileage on the advert is the only "fact" you've got right in this entire thread.
EDIT:
DEAR JORDI
Have you got it yet?
Same. Wouldn't want to take the risk.
Was that an RB, Couldve held on till end of feb lol.
On a 2005 plate, it's 2 years overdue. For the sake of £500 it's not worth taking the risk of the belt snapping and taking the engine with it...
Common-sense, I speak it in this case.
No I had a RB in 2009 and the last one was an AB

Sounds like sense your talking there Brad
Thanks mate lol. Just want to be careful with buying my first sport, just want it all to be right, and working so I can enjoy owning my first sport. And got plenty of time to find one, just over a month.
If anyone knows of a mint RB for sale with service history, etc. Give us a PM Thanks
Yup would rather pay that out in the first case, get it all running sweet then I can relax and not have the worry of it taking the engine and costing me £££££
1000000% agree.

I've just bought my first one 2 weeks ago and it was owned by a forum member with nice mods and I paid over the odds for it but I don't even care because I couldn't find a better one anywhere!! If you see one with everything in place and spot on don't be afraid to pay over the odds if you can afford it, 182's seem very undervalued on here to be honest, especially FF RB's which are hard to find full stop..! I've loved every minute of my 182 so far and can't wait to drive it next!!
FLOL at some of the shi*t spouted in here! Mine is on 91K (the car, not the belts) and going strong (I hope). Also sod off paying £5,750 for a boggo 182. They are worth peanuts these days.
To the OP, there are some really tidy cars in the classified on here. I'd be in a better place if someone had told me that when I was buying. As a private buyer you can pick up a decent 182 with under 80k from 3000-3500 or a good condition low miler for 3500-4000 in my opinion. If money is an issue and with the value dropping out of them I'd also be inclined to look at the cheaper end of the market if you are mechanically minded and/or consider a good condition and well looked after 172 as there are some utter bargains on here at the mo and 182's will only be heading that way very soon.
I'll console myself with that thought...

yeah wouldnt mind getting one of here tbf, because you can see how its been treated, and most people on here seem nice and genuine so would give you as much info as you needed. And would sometimes come with nice mods. I am really hoping to get an RB, that is my favourite colour, and after looking at some examples on here makes me want one even more, and to get one ASAP lol.
Im not bothered about the mileage, long as belts been done as I know thats a common problem. Also as long as it had a good service history. And I wouldnt pay that for a clio 182 tbh. Apart from a trophy.
yeah I have been looking around the classifieds and some tidy cars. Yeah thats about my budget tbh <£4000. I really want an RB 182 tbh, and I know if I didnt get an RB I think I would regret it :\.
