This doesn't look right

[Chris.p21]

Been looking at the values on Autotrader as I'm thinking of parting with my 172. I know what a car is advertised for and what is sells for are two different things but I came across this.

It's advertised as a 172 Cup but the interior is wrong, it's got twin exhausts, climate control and I think the wheels are the wrong colour. To me it looks like a non cup 182.

What do you think? Just incorrect information on a database or is it dodgy? Certainly seems expensive when the belts etc aren't mentioned.

I think the guys doesn't know what he has.

172 cups only came in blue, so yes, it's wrong. Just a 182 by the looks of it.

The wheels are there are the non-cup 182 wheels.

100% a 182

Not much detail on MyCarCheck

Just says:

Make - Renault
Model - Clio
Body Style - Sports

Maybe that's why the guy thought it's a 172

comes up as a 182 on an insurance quote

It's a 182 with no cup packs!

It's not even a 182 cup due to the half leather seats!

 

[JCC]

It's a no option 182.

Could just be a genuine mistake on the seller's part not knowing the difference.

WELL WELL OVER PRICED, this one will no doubt b around for months on end hence already knocked 500quid off on sticker price, go with 2.6-3k MAX CASH in ur pocket & say ur not interested in these as there only worth few hundred quid if that;

FREE 12 Months Warranty £150-250, FREE 12 months mot £25, FREE 12 MONTHS SERVICE £50

just want the bare car

I just spent £10 on a HPI check to confirm. Shouldn't I have?

 

[Will.]

You could have sent me the £10 and I would have told you.

 

[Kane.]

Does look in good nick.

^ Not for the cash. Exhaust mounts are shagged for a start. £4500 is silly money for a 60k non cupped 182 these days imo.

No, I'm doing quotes on an r26. Quickly stuck this cars reg plate in.

I know the place its at very well..a mate of mine does the prep work for them..minimum prep at most.most of the cars you wouldn't touch with a barge pole never mind spending your hard earned on..not saying its not a goodun but id be wary..make sure all the history etc checks out.
