Optional extras on the R27 were
Xenons, Climate, Heated electric folding mirrors, Cup Spoiler, Cup Splitter, Side skirts,
MPG 25-30 depending on...
Good luck with the car-
I would say you have bought cheap & got a reasonable car for that price-
A lot of people dont have the initial funds to plough 3.5/4k into a 182 ( some do)-
its a bargain price, but does require some investment as you go along-
I would say cambelt as a matter of...
Just to clear it up-
IIRC the revised gearbox has revised gear ratios - there was no revision to make the TL4 gearbox any stronger-
the gearboxes are as prone to going on an 06 plate as an 08 plate-
Its about how they have been driven & how much abuse the syncros have taken- & OR the fragility...
197 Cups are a bit poverty BUT there isnt a HUGE difference between a FF-
If you take a BASE spec R27 & a Specced 197 Cup Bar the keycards they are nearly identical....
Also you can get speedlines on a 197 cup- you cant on a cup you cant on an r27-
take your pic-

There are a few 182 's on the cusp @ 2950/3250-
Ones like 54's hovering around 55k-65k.
You will be able to get a 182 for 2.5k- the issue being is out of the plethera of 182's available- probably some 150 across the 4 main web pages will you be able to identify whats a good one & whats a...
Do Orbisound do one yet-?
If not I would buy a nice stainless steal system & add the clio 200 Diffuser to the pack-
do not buy the renaultsport exhaust trims, gashment of the highest order.

The best cups are usually high spec 57/08 plates-
USUALLY glacier white with speedlines / AC & recaros- all around 8k are the best ones- down to 7k for something average
R27 depending on colour & miles is from 6500 up to 8500-
I would get recaros- Poventy spec seats arent worth the agro-

Once you get the settlement ask dealer for trade in / PX price on another car-
They will clear your finance & you pay your negative equity to them or they pay you the positive equity- what ever the difference
If its positive equity they will take it off the value of the new car

Its simple really-
If the bolster is shot in warranty repair it-
If its out of warranty your paying £150 into an ~7/8k car- its peanuts
or spend £45 at capitol seating for a proper recaro cover
S
pay your membership & you will find a good exhaust for £200 or a standard one for around the £50-100 mark depending on miles
personally buy a newer one, not a standard one-
