I posted last week about how hard work they were to talk to, but seeing a couple of rougher ones this weekend just made me pay the extra and go for this.
I ended up dealing with them via email as it was far easier to get straight answers that way, then when I called to do the final deal and put...
I'm thinking along those lines, they've offered £3.7k for my Civic p/x, if they'll do the Clio for the Civic + £3.5k I'll do it. They said they'll service the Clio but I'm happy to/would rather do that myself and like you say I won't use the warranty unless it blows up as it's just not...
I don't think this is a bubble waiting to burst.
More are getting written off, broken or snapped up for race series'. A 200 is the last ever NA hot hatch, ever, never again, this is it. I think prices will only go up.
That's nice, weird seats, but nice. f**king south coast again though, I...
Saw the one up north earlier.
It's far less tidy than the pictures suggest, front bumper didn't fit great, rear tailgate starting to rust a little under the window (seems quite common). No history since 2017, belts due this year, tyres pretty much dead. The roof wrap was awful, really poorly...
I was put off by the clearly dodgy MOT on it 😂
I did message the guy and asked if he had any more pictures and he just sent me the same pictures as in the advert, the people selling these cars are pretty hard work haha
About an hour up the road, just spoke to the guy, going to go take a look tomorrow.
The guy in Lincoln has text me to say he's ill so can't do tomorrow.
Another that has popped up, got the projectors and BT too, on Michelins so possibly enthusiast owned

Yep, noted those 3 issues already, front bumper fitment is a bit worse than usual too.
The guy has mentioned the bumper marks on the advert, re the door, I've been comparing to other ads and it is slightly more down than other cars but they're all a bit down it seems.
Like you say, no harm in...
The dealer selling the AG really annoyed me, so I've pretty much written that off.
I kept looking at the Lincoln white 200 and decided to call the guy to get a bit more info, the seller seems decent, he's also an enthusiast and has other 200s of his own. He was pretty honest and told me he...
Just keep on rubbing it in, getting the 55 will always be one of my biggest regrets 😂
However, at least I'll have a reason to upgrade in a couple of years.
The dealer seems friendly but they're just noncommittal on everything.
I asked some more questions on condition and the reply was just 'it's as the photos' and he wouldn't give any more details. The photos are good but they can still be things more obvious in real life. The warranty is strictly...
Yep, will need new tyres. It's the condition and the fact it's not been messed about with that is also appealing. Even with the colour, I still think it's £500-£1k over priced really, considering it will need belts in a year, new tyres and the wheel is peeling a little. But it's a 1 owner car...
Like you say, the mileage is too high for it to remain collectable imo.
I keep going back to the AG posted on page 1 but with a high mileage the premium is just too much I reckon.
I'm a bit suspect of it, it's been for sale since September, which at the price point it's at makes me wonder why. The seller hadn't had it very long either.
I do like a red 200, I've been messaging the guy selling the one above but I think he might be getting cold feet about selling.
I keep going back to the green one in Portsmouth too. Might give them a ring tomorrow.
I want to drive it! Would be interested in details if he does sell.
I am looking for a standard 200, ideally with cup pack, but not a cup as I want cruise control. It would be nice to have nav/BT/recaros etc but nothing is a deal breaker.
I've requested membership to the 3 197/200 groups I found.
Prices are a bit up, but so is everything, I'll be selling my Civic for a premium too atm so I'm not too worried about the higher prices.
