Feck me those look mint! Wish Id ordered em now! Good pic £12500 inc cup packs and cd changer/metallic paint about right dont pay any more 182_blue, hows the new car?, sorted the tripometer out yet?:devilish:

I phoned a dealer and asked for a Cupd 182 full fat for £12500 and he wanted me to put the deposit down there and then. Needless to say I agreed but only after going to see him. Got a multi changer at no charge too. Pick up week on Tues

^^^^ lol at all this:p

weres that from then?????

whats the car 182_blue??????? what ya gettin?

^^^ lol at that;)

I test drove a 182 in racing blue with stripes at Sunwin Renault in Bradford a couple of weeks ago - great car - first time ive seen racing blue, infact it made me choose that colour for mine. Good choice, enjoy :cool:

Im surprised any dealer would give 12000 px for a used 182!!! You married to em??? Would deffo do it your position though!!!!

Not that I blame you in fact I :D But why are you going from a CTR to a 182? Would just like 2 know!

Sorry, but they DONT lose 50% in two years, unless they have MEGA mileage or have been trashed - Ive been looking around for a few months and know the prices they go for. 172s over three years old maybe but not 2 years old......

50% depreciation is pretty standard in the industry wouldnt you say? Even though the Cooper S has possibly the best residuals around, in pure financial terms I dont think the 182 etc deserves the kicking it gets.....

This depreciation arguement always makes me laff. Take the Golf GTi vs 182 in terms of depreciation; the Golf brand new is £20k - you wont get ANY reduction on price. Ive seen a report that the GTi will be worth 55% after 3 years - say £11k. That means a loss of £9k or £3k a year. The 182...
