[gti6steve]

That's been on there for ages. When I was looking at 182's back in August I kept seeing that.

Price was much higher back then too. As said I assume there is more to it than the Ad would suggest.

Stoddie's old motor IIRC. Looks like it's been neglected a bit since he owned it.

 

[The Boosh!]

I'd be very dubious at that price.

 

[Gally]

I'd be very dubious at that price.

Agreed. Nice motor though.

 

[Ash.]

Looks great shame about the wheels but if that's all that's wring with it that's one cheap car!!!

 

[BIGASH]

I wish I was working from home as I would have a trip into leeds to go and have a look but unfortunately working away

 

[Daniel]

Just Hpi'd it (only a cheap one) and its clear.

 

[R-Sport.]

thats been up for 8, 7 & 6k...

maybe just maybe its a tatty example-

I am guessing you would need the following

Service
Tyres
full refurb of Alloys
drivers & passenger seat bolsters-
~£750

5k would be very nice-

With your experience of the prices of these do you expect there is anything more serious than this Steve? I'm really tempted to have a trip back to Leeds and have a look round it!

 

[Goodj]

now I just need £5k to spare.

 

[Edd]

Sold for 5700, that seems like such a bargain. It was only 15 mins away from me aswell, if I'd have seen this sooner could have been very tempted.

not a bargin thats the realistic quick sale price, all the others askin 7-9k+ are around for weeks if not months, there's been several on there different spec, sellin within few days at this sort of price.

I've never seen a LY 197 on sub 40k miles for less than 6k. I must not be looking hard enough though.

this is 1st ive seen with with recaro's around that price, no doubt they'll b more dropping in price to sell

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Tidy mark up!

[Storm_Force]

LOL well spotted!

 

[Wick]

You hunting for a 197 Cotball? lol!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

No, I just browse random clio's and spotted this, I'm looking for something but i keep buying things to sell on!

 

[Wick]

Very eagle eyed. Worst thing is, at best Evans Halshaw will chuck and oil and filter service at it and then that will sell as it comes with "dealership peace of mind".

 

[Simon7929]

I bought mine from that garage. Touch wood the cars been spot on and never missed a beat. It was in A1 condition with no dents and wheels were spotless when i bought it. Price was quite reasonable too. However makes me wonder what they got it for looking at the mark up on that one. I may have a trip down to see out of curiosity what its like condition wise.

 

[is1]

Well, cosmetically the only obvious issue was the wheels which they could get done trade for £100 all in probably and then a basic service and as said, everyone will say it is "dealer supplied" so the best you can get.
I guess that's always the case and the nature of the industry. How many ordinary punters actually know anything about the history of a car they buy off a forecourt?
If it's shiny and it works, happy days.

I should also add, there is nothing to guarantee that eBay sale went through. The seller may have traded/PX'd it for another at this dealership as they may have wanted to get rid.

 

[Simon7929]

Went to have a look at this car today and despite the wheels, the car is mint. No dents or dings nor is there any signs of respraying. Interior is mint too. If the ebay price is true, then this guy must be desperate for the money or out of touch with car prices. However I never drove the car so maybe the mystery lies there. They are prone to gearbox failure!
