Have the belts been changed? That is a key point when selling.

A silver 182 cup...

 

[The Fatty]

Hi chris, thats a really poor advert! Are you sure its a cup your selling and not a 182 with both cup packs? They are different... Also I would say 3999 is slightly over priced. Also no mention if the belts are replaced?

 

[DrR]

It's not a cup.

 

[Flash_Rides]

1)The belts have not been changed however, the car drives really well. I have had the car for almost 3 years and its never failed me once.

2)I have researched the price and for the year and low mileage i think thats a fair price but the car is open to best offers.

3)Just done some research on the difference between a 182 cup and 182 with cup packs. The car is a 182 with cup packs. spoiler, splitter and suspension.

 

[The Fatty]

No one will buy that at that price without the belts being done; at least no one on here. The fact the car drives really well and has never failed you once does not mean the belts are ok. They need to be changed every 35k miles or every 5 years, both of which has elapsed!

p.s, im not being negative, just putting you in the picture

 

[Danith]

Uprated exhaust in the pic on the ramps? That looks really really clean to be fair. I've no idea on 182 prices though, but seems a tad high.

 

[Flash_Rides]

As far as I know they havent. I appreciate any advice. Thankyou

Like i said the car is in immaculate condition hence the price. Its been well looked after.

The car is open to best offers but I dont think I could go any lower than £3,800

 

[DrR]

Hmmm mine must be worth about 4.5k then, mint.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

You will never get 4k for it, I doubt you would get 3k.

No one in their right mind would pay that for a 182 in the most common colour with the belts not being changed.

It may be mint but if the service intervals haven't been met then it's not been maintained correctly.

 

[Flash_Rides]

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Thats all I can say really. £3000 is way too low. And as for the colour...... its stunning especially in the sunlight. The metallic paint makes it sparkle.

 

[Stefan.]

It does look in very good nick to be fair to you! but you will never sell at the price you want as people will be having to spend another £500-600 on top of the asking price for the belts. its a buyers market im afraid and there are so many out there just depends how quickly you are willing to wait for a sale.

 

[RDH]

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I'm sorry mate but your talking rubbish. A belt change on a 1*2 is probably the most vital job.

 

[FatRS]

I'm looking for a 182 at the moment and have missed out on loads with belts done in "mint" condition with circa 50k on and less common colours for £3500 to £4000. Even those at £4k are too expensive based on what's out there they I'm not willing to travel 100+ miles for! Trouble with being so far south.

 

[Jamie_182]

got to agree with peoples comments, a tad overpriced IMO.

my FF artic 182 with both cup packs, extensive service history, 38,000 miles, cambelt change, pretty much immaculate for its age cost me £4000 in jaunuary.

i think you will easily sell it if you drop the price lower.

That is a stupid thing to say when it comes to the cambelt.

 

[DrR]

Has it even been serviced?

 

[Flash_Rides]

Its got full service history. I have revised the price and dropped to £3700 still accepting best offers. In addition, I was assured on my last mot that the cam belt is in good nick.

Thanks for the advice.

 

[Will.]

When was the belt last changed?

 

[Stefan.]

When was the belt last changed?

when they were putting it on in 2005 probably

 

[RDH]

Its got full service history. I have revised the price and dropped to £3700 still accepting best offers. In addition, I was assured on my last mot that the cam belt is in good nick.

Thanks for the advice.

Where did you get it MOT'd? I'm from Wigan myself.

It hasn't got full service histroy if the belts have not been done.

 

[FatRS]

When was the belt last changed?

He's said they haven't hence the posts suggesting its a little expensive. Sounds an honest car and my suggestion to the seller would be to get the belts done with invoice to prove along with a visual health check for peace of mind of the new owner and I'm sure it'll sell sharp ish. The ones I've missed out on have sold in days at the right money but I'm also ONLY looking at ones with belts done due to the fragility and expense of these cars.
All the best to the seller.

 

[172Ben]

lol at "yeh that belts look alright"

FLOL

 

[Will.]

We are trying to help him with the sale. It will be better if he mentions the belts (done or not).

 

[Flash_Rides]

The car was last mot'd november last year.

The car was actually serviced at 36,281 miles 14/11/08 (Cam Belt change every 36000 miles) And it was still covered by warranty.They may have changed the cam belt but not recorded it on the service sheets. Is there any way a mechanic could tell if it has been changed? Im just thinking it cant be the original thats lasted 7 years and still drives so well. Maybe its partial service history. At least im honest.

 

[Jordi17]

Its on 55k, they arent due until 72k, you will get away without doing them yet, price seem sok

The invoice amount will tell you. I'd the overall bill was only a couple of hundred quid then deffo not.

72k or 5 years, whichever comes first

 

[Jordi17]

20k miles is alot of mileage to be fair, probs be ok to leave it for the time being

sound advice

If its not been done its 2 years over due. Its only rubber.

 

[DrR]

Don't forget the AUX was due at 36k

 

[Flash_Rides]

There is no invoice as it was covered by the warranty. 3 years free servicing.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

There are some idiots in here, if you don't know about something then don't give advice.

Its not advice, just some facts.

 

[Jay.S]

Its not advice, just some facts.

No it isn't. FFS!

Fact is they are overdue!

Do not take Jordi's advice.

 

[Stefan.]

+1 :banghead:

 

[Jordi17]

its NOT advice, just saying that its not the end of the world that they havnt been done, if the car was on 70 odd k then fair dos, but I think there is some leniancy there

 

[172Ben]

Its not advice, just some facts.

factually incorrect then, please do not give people incorrect advice, if you want to do this to your own car thats fine. But keep it to yourself please.
