Should get a minter for 5k

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

PM Steve&rsportcars, He should be able to find you a mint 182 with low mileage for that. You could get a trophy for that!

belt history
crash damage (stickers on bumper missing)
steering wheel melted / thumb grips (all of them have this)
exhaust if its original it will rust and fall to bits

 

[Martyn_182]

Loose spark plugs. My old inferno one had a loose plug for months kept making a weird sort of ticking noise but couldnt figure it out till one day it popped out

 

[gaz2127]

Cheers for the help boys. Yeh 5 is my limit. would get a trophy but sum of them have a wee btty to much miles for my liking!
Yeh exhaust will be first thing i will probs get changed. Wil message that guy u said cotball!
thanks again

[gaz2127]

Cheers martyn. Hoping to pick 182 up wth no work needed or close to!

As said. Pm Steve. He will be able to sort you out with a decent 182.

there is a whole thread on this here >> http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?276833-172-182-buyers-guide. right at the top of this forum section!!

Also 5K for a 182 is way over the top IMO, just becasue its got a low millage means s**t tbh!! Have you considered going abit higher and getting a 197 or 200 as thats more around that price range?

 

[Silent_Scone]

belt history, dephaser, waterpump
engine mounts
cvboots
gearbox / syncro crunching
wheel bearings
rear brake sticking
spark plugs
cam cover leaks
top mounts


and I could go on

 

[Martyn_182]

Just realised your from aberdeen. Its actually 90 miles away according to pistonheads.

Like i said it needs some things changing in my eyes but he says he has the bits http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3555198.htm

 

[jenic]

Got to be a trophy for that money, this isn't low mileage but seems a decent one.

high mileage, I think i would buy 50k or under, and 50 would be tops. You want low mileage really as the higher mileage = bigger bills

Clio 200 > 5k.... :clown:

The guy has 5k, doesnt mean he has to spend it all....

[gaz2127]

saw those ones u boys posted. Nice cars but mileage is high.wil be traveling to Dundee few times a month so low mileage would suit me. I prefer a 182 just now and I dnt think u could pick up a low mileage 197 or a 200 for 5. Cheers for response guys!

 

[Bobby.]

See if its had the tdc sensor, rear shock absorbers and seat wiring looms repaired as these are all common faults.

I agree, but if he does have the potential to save up a bit more and spend it all, then he could get a car thats younger and potentially going to last longer...

 

[Revels]

Or he could save even longer and buy a Ferrari?

 

[The Fatty]

and that just being silly! why would he want a ferrari
