We have looked after this car for agesssss. Just seen it on eBay, goes quite well for an old girl.

HOW MANY MILES!?!

 

[Daniel]

I'm going to try and buy it.

 

[Budgie]

I'm going to try and buy it.

I was tempted to see how long it would actually run for. Lol

 

[Daniel]

I'd love to get one to 250k.

 

[Jack!]

I'd love to get one to 250k.

You won't keep it long enough to get there before you trade it in wanting a van, and instead buy another car!

 

[imprezaworks]

Spotted that, the miles.

I bought a cheap car (the mx5) to use whilst I save for a van.

The only car I've bought and said I'm selling it for a van, Was the Clio.

:S

 

[Fletcher]

I would like to know what power she's still making at 200k +

 

[Diagro]

Oh mr Potato. If you actually want to buy it i will remove my bids? Father in law said go for it if below £400 hahaha

 

[Alastair.]

Goes really well everytime I've worked on it. Always had money chucked at it. Just the outside needs a good tarting up.

 

[MonacoDan]

This would go perfect sat next to my current Monaco

 

[Alastair.]

Quite sure the lass who owns it was a member on here years ago, has the old school cs sticker in the window.

Sounds like my 172!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

im tempted to buy it, run it and see how far i can get that engine to go with some pampered servicing.

probs still makes lovely power or abit better

 

[Brooky182]

Its worth a few hundred quid in parts surely?

Well put my money were my mouth is and bid on it

god knows what the misses will say with 3 clios on the drive if I win it but I'll just have to hide it in work

 

[imprezaworks]

What do we think it will fetch?

 

[Mr R.]

What do we think it will fetch?

£500.

 

[imprezaworks]

Sounds reasonable

 

[Diagro]

Not too bad. Can get a second hand engine for around £350 with ok miles so could get lots of life from it

Why would you change the engine? It's been well serviced all it's life so there's no reason why it won't do another 100k with proper maintanence.

if it went pop or something, thats all i ment

 

[anyone4apint]

High milage really would not bother me. You can buy a 172 with 100k on the clock thats not been looked after and it will go pop before it hits 110k. However, with this, to get that kind of miles on the clock it has obviously been cared for. No reason it wont go on and on and on if you look after it. And if it does go pop, replace it with a new engine for 250-300 quid and your still quids in. This would be perfect as a track toy or weekend plaything or just a project because its summer.

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

Would be good to see it go to an enthusiast instead of somebody who will just kill it and not bother with it.

 

[Iain C]

I'm tempted too

 

[Herr Flick]

My final bid has gone in. Nobody else bid on it!

 

[Dan@SJM]

Quite sure the lass who owns it was a member on here years ago, has the old school cs sticker in the window.

jooliona I think.

 

[Herr Flick]

10 minutes left.

 

[Diagro]

Over £650. Not bad

 

[lemonnobby]

Who got it then

 

[Herr Flick]

Not me. I think it went for a little bit more than its worth.

 

[Daniel]

I can't believe it made that money! More than I wanted to pay.

Lets hope it serves the new owner as well as it has the last.

just had an email from ebay saying I can have it for my last bid of £410. Winner obviously didn't want it. Not sure how it came all the way back to me.

 

[imprezaworks]

You going for it? Cheap enough tbf

 

[Diagro]

if i had £410 i would snap it up for the fun of it tbh

if you dont want it im sure if you stuck it on the sale bit of this forum for £500 someone would snap it up lol

 

[cat171]

Probably shill bidded up.

Are you getting it?

 

[Nick172Cup]

Brilliant.

Clearly standard CS idiots bidding it up and then realising it really isn't worth the final auction price.

 

[Herr Flick]

Not sure. Will speak to the owner later. I've just bought another car and not sure when the qashqai will turn up.
If any body really wants it then I'd be happy to pass your details on.

 

[cat171]

Daniel was interested in it.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Daniel was interested in it.

Everyone was interested in it, but as per usual, no one actually puts their money where their mouth is

I would have happily had it at £650 or whatever it went for, would break for that all day long.
