DC5... i test drove one and loved it. put off by the group 20 insurance and the fact i knew i'd either get banned for speeding or wrap it round something
Errrrmmm... 7

Plus i also regularly drobe Bubbles 182 FF too during the last year
when an R27, which is arguably better specced as standard than the normal 197, was on sale for 13995 there was always going to be a knock on effect on the resale values of the 197. i'd argue it's also started to affect 182 values which have held strong up until the last 6 weeks or so.
the...
i'd call and check... tbh most dealers will cash that tax in and then the buyer of your old car will then have to pay to tax it themselves. it's an easy couple of hundred for the dealer to make if you leave it on
the 182 suddenly looks very dated side by side with the 197 tbh... both interior and exterior (interior more so), plus it has heavier steering and clutch - not a bad thing but an immediate thing you notice when jumping from one to the other
opted for no decals which meant we got front and rear bumper ones only... they came off in a matter of minutes though... hairdryer pointed towards the front corner and then peeled them off without any hassle :approve:
you're looking at about 30mpg from the 197 as against mid 30's on a 182
as i never had any of my 182's from new i can't comment on how juicy they were from being a baby with 0 miles on the clock
from reading all the posts, i guess one of the main problems is that he's told everyone he paid £8k for it and as such with cliosport being the bargain centre that it is, at the back of most peoples mind is this information and as such people now expect to be able to pick it up for the same...
thing is i found some pictures of Ali's cover, which looked like what you've done to yours and it looked better :S
camera or lighting perhaps making a difference? i don't know

this dealer is quoting 14995 plus options :
Air Conditioning. £525
Recaro Seats. £850
Curtain Airbags. £200
17'' Speedline Black Wheels. £175
Plus colour choice - white available for £150
Nope it isn't anywhere that i could spot either... nor do i reckon they'll get near the 89kg weight loss of the 172FF v 172 Cup
My reference was more to the fact that they have lost a few of the toys - electric mirrors, keyless entry, optional a/c etc
