I didn't get back in touch with him, and he's messaged me tonight asking of I've found another car. I'd love to make a decision, but its 180 mile round trip. Worth offering him something? What do you guys think its worth if I've got to get the belts done?

Firstly, apologies for all the questions, all the ones I'm finding that may be a potential purchase are miles away, hence the reason I'm asking on here, thoughts on this...

I've seen this one on autotrader, advised belts done at 69k, with part service history, one key etc, honest opinion? The problem is its 2 hours away, bit of a mission to find out its no good!

I've been emailing a company regarding a 182, today.. the last question I asked: Thanks for the info, I did notice damage on the rear quarter, do you have any photos of the service history, receipts etc? The reply I received was simply: no we don't Needless to say, they can keep the car!

I suppose I should stop being tight and sign up!

Its going to be a daily driver, so ideally standard (with a the exhaust done, no worries if not as I'd seek to get it done, as I know the original would be due a replacement) I'm at an age and have the finances where I'll be able to run the car and look after it, rather then running it on a...

I work in Marchington, and live not too far either.

Slightly OT, but is that Uttoxeter racecourse?

I think you're right, I'm really holding out for a decent black or blue one, but think I need to adjust my expectations on price? was hoping to find a good'un for about £2.2, but its looking more like 3k realistically, for one thats been cared for and had a replaced exhaust etc.

I've had a look at the ad again, and other angels there isn't a large dent, so maybe just the light, his 'spring' deal is £2000. AT description:

Yeah, didn't even notice that! If anyone could shed any light on it that would be great, the guy whos been emailing me has gone silent after emailing the photos of the damage and asking he he had any photos of the service history, receipts etc

Still on the hunt for my 1st 182, Ideally wanting a black/blue one, but this one is quite local to me...

What a great read! would love to do something like this! never been past carlisle.

There's a arctic blue 182, about 100 miles from me, the chap on the phone advised its had cams/ water pump done recently, comes with part service history, anyone know if its history...

Depends, some companies will default the month and then charge you cancelling

most insurers will charge you for cancelling the policy

Mine doesnt quite stretch to that right now, however I'm due to start a new job in the next month or so, so tempted to hold out. Yeah, I did see that posted up, it looks a pretty good deal in all honesty. Value your advice about not just diving in on the first one you see. Its been five years...

Just make sure you keep it off the public highway while you wait

Ahh, now you see, these kind of photos do it justice! I think its just because I'm so used to seeing clio campus 1.2 floating around in a similar shade. I suppose the fairest thing to do is go and see one :)

Keeping an eye out on PH etc, only decent ones with cams done etc, seem to be silver.. Ideally would love a black gold or arctic blue colour!

Welcome, there seems to be a lot of people based in the midlands on here!

The Steering wheel is on the wrong side... Just kiddin' welcome, that engine bay is clean!

I'm checking on a daily basis, I need to to sign up as a member but will do that towards the end of the week. I'd rather look to get one off here, where people might know its history, buying a second hand car is a gamble as it is, the fact I'm looking to buy a car thats now around 9 years old...

Yeah saw in your thread, can't make my mind up between arctic blue or black gold.

Just so I know I'm on the right page? example of a typical respray original?

Yeah, I thought that, so might be a wasted journey.. Just for future reference, how can you tell, obviously its easier to see in the flesh rather than a poor quality photo I'll be going with my brother in law who owned a 172, we already went to see one, that was in a bad state. I've been...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I'm keen to look after what ever I grab, I'm now in a position where I can hopefully afford to properly maintain a car without running it on a shoe string budget.

I've been on the hunt for a 182 over the last few weeks, as a few of you have maybe seen on my posts. There's one relatively close to me, with 66k on the clock. He's already advised me that he doesn't know when cams/pulleys were done, and its got aftermarket alloys on, and tax is due.. He's...

still waiting for one to come up at the right price/condition locally, yours looks nice, congrats!

On the hunt for one of these, might be a bit far, but any photos?
