Bargain go for it, especially from a main dealer. What I'm wondering is why they trying to shift them so cheap....what's coming round the corner that's what I want to know. especially as they are limited edition. Standard 197's seem to be more expensive then R27's for some reason.

These days 12 - 15k is considered average mileage.

172boost I'm not surprised I have drop so much however what I'm pointing out is the 2nd hand market for the 197 is bad given massive drops recently in the new prices hence why mine is priced with the mileage. I'm actually not that desperate to get shot of it, can afford to keep both cars how...

I saw Yellow in the show room and it looked nice but I think I would go for Albi blue in the R27, it's look's awesome with the red calipers. Saying that my Black 197 would like nice with Red Calipers, maybe ne for the next owner to do.

I'm sure I saw them 3 in an episode of X-files

Question is will they throw in their Banjoo's with the deal ;o)

Hilarious - check out this 172 and price tag I don't know how much has been done to it but I can never see anyone paying 16K for a 172 http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/238725.htm

ha ha, spoken like a true hardcore 182 owner ;o))

Not about how much prices have gone up although hopefully nicely ;o)))))), we were offering our opinions on options. As I previoulsy said if your hardcore and want it for the track don't bother about options, if you like the creature comforts then do as pointed out by other posters, most people...

yep agreed with your comments there, I thought the 172 started off at 13,995.00 though Either way GR buy the car with the option's that you want to enjoy and drive and not for the resale value alone as it will be poor as I've highlighted above. If your a hardcore driver, don't bother with...

13K on the clock, all motorway miles , selling to get a diesel. It's in perfect condition plus it has a professionally fitted Alpine IPOD unit with bluetooth. There is very very low demand though, had a couple of jokers offering me 10K etc I'm concerned about the lack of demand for the 197 in...

I don't think so to be honest, in 7 months I have dropped around 4k off value I paid for my 197 in Feb. I paid 15.5K with metallic black, xenons, climate, auto rain + lights, cabasse upgrade, folding mirrors & privacy glass I reckon 197 residuals are going to be really bad judging by my own...

Definitely go for the extras if you are from a 172 or 182 or you wll miss them, I have them on my 197 and wouldn't be without it. However don't expect much on resale, I'm currently selling a fully specced up 197 for 11,949ono 7 months old and keep getting "I can buy a new one for 13.5K however...

Got to agree I feel a lot more safe in my 197 then I ever did in my 2 * 172's, solid built plus 5* admitedtly it is now the same weight as a world war 2 tank ;o))

I just broughtmine from Halfords they are good, great to see another b'stoker on here ;o))
