Just been to see a phase 2 172

[mnaylor9]

As the title reads, I have just been to see a 172 in red. It drove really well and I was really pleased with it. However, the alloys need a refurb which I have no problem with. The thing I was not sure about is that there are a few "pin" dents in the doors and rear quarters, not major. Can these be removed and how much does it cost?

Or is it worth waiting for one without the door dings?

 

[182kev]

average for a ding to ber removed is around £50 per panel it just depends on how bad/deep it actually is,alot of bargains to be had at the moment so have a good look about

depends on price of the car and mileage.

I would be happy to buy it if its cheap and get the small things fixed afterwards.

£3400, 2001, 48k.

seems a bit pricey for that mileage, year and condition

Eh? the cars 7 years old!! Thats low mileage (based on 10k per year). Agree its a bit steep pricewise. As for the pin dents, think you'll have to accept majority of cars will have a few.

^^yes they do dent quite easy, my 172 has a couple of dings on both doors.

Id rather buy a mechanical sound one that was tatty, rather than a mint one that was not mechanically sound. Has it had its belts done??

i had 4 dings taken out for £10 lol, only cus i removed all the interior trims for him

that's expensive for a phase 2? No way, not round my area anyway.

When 04 plate 182's are now less the £5k, thats expensive. If belts have been done wouldn't be a bad buy for £3k.

Me too... or a fully serviced high mileage example, over a low mileage one with no or little service history.
