This has to happen as I am just about to buy a 172 doesnt it ! Ah well, I dont think it is worth the extra £3,000 for me to get a 182 at the moment. Still not sure about those tailpipes, they are just too damn small for the holes in the bumper and for the car !
The wheels are also w4nk ...
I agreed to buy an 02 172 MKII in Monaco Blue on Tuesday for £8800 with just 9600 miles on the clock, I think I got a good deal so if you have £10000 then you should easily be able to get a good un.
http://www.motorpoint.co.ukwww.motorpoint.co.uk is selling BRAND NEW 172s for £10,999 if you...
It says in that article that it is available in the bright yellow, "Outside, the 182 is available in six different colours, including a rather bright pearlescent yellow - which works quite well with the dark Cup alloys.", as shown in the pics, I thought that colour wasnt coming to the UK ...
I drove around in my old 172 without the washer balls in for a few weeks, it was great fun shooting the cars on the other side of the road as I went past ! LOL !
:devilish:
Viv, yeah I just checked that so that is cool ! Everything seems ok for the car to have a 3 year warranty, I have the VIN number of the car now so I will see if I can check before I buy the car, but it will not make much difference to me, I will buy it anyway. Just nice to have some peace of...
greeper, me too mate, me too ! Will be picking it up in a few weeks time so hopefully the weather may be a little bit better (but I doubt it !).
Viv172, thanks for that, answers all my questions there. I am not sure if the car has been serviced yet as the mileage is only 9500 miles. Will...
Alright greeper mate, well.... it is a bluey black ! LOL ! I have gone for the Monaco Blue this time after looking at them in the gallery and in the flesh it was stunning and the car was mint too with such low miles so I just had to have it !
I got some pics of it now from the guy but I will...
Not just Essex birds but Essex lads, Chavy is proof of that ! LOL ! (just kidding Ivan mate !)
;)
It is the cruise scene but for backwards cap wearing boy racers and the like ! Not somewhere I would go to, far too upstanding for that ! (YEAH RIGHT !) But I dont actually go down there...
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez-azzzzzzz, this is turning into a $eedy thread, steady on there Squirt ! LOL !
Anyway.......... that is a good point actually about the lights, they do seem like you are flashing (your lights that is) the person in front and also you cannot turn them off when you are doing...
Queensway ????? I think you mean the Kingsway ! LOL ! Close enough ! Yeah, walk past it everyday to go to dinner, not a Doctor Who fan myself but that thing is HOUGE ! I could fit in it !
Next time you are in Swansea just let us know !

Cheers mate, very much looking forward to getting the NEW (well... 2002) car too ! A...
Thats right, I look out of my window and all I see is the green green grass of home, no sign of civilisation anywhere ! I have to stick me wellies on to get to the car cos it is parked in a field somewhere cos we dont have concrete roads here in Wales, ho ho no way !
I have never actually...
You shouldve seen it, Mr. Sheep didnt know what the hell was happening ! We dont see cars very often in Wales see butty ! Baaaaaa !
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez !
Cheers both,
Lee, thanks for that, I think that is the same letter as I had when I bought my first car. I will make sure that the guy has all the correct information when I pick the car up, sounds like there should be a 3 year warranty on the car then ?
I did not know that about the lights...
I got a speeding fine in Wales too ! Gutted !
Bloody hell ! Llangennith is about 30 mins from my house, I live in Swansea so it is just down the road. Gorgeous part of the country down the Gower ! Last summer it was like you were abroad sitting on the beach down there.
Good morning !
As some of you may or may not know, I had a black MKII 172 a year or so back but had to sell it but now I am back ! Well, yesterday I agreed to buy a 2002 MKII 172 and I am EXTREMELY happy !
I need a few questions answered if anyone can help :
1) The car was registered at...
Ivan does have his uses see ! Apart from being a toilet hugger ! Queer as folk !

On another note, I have just agreed to purchase a mint monaco blue MKII 172 with just 9500 miles, got it for £8800 which I am VERY happy about ! Sooooooooo I am back after being away far too long !
If all goes to plan 2nite I could be the owner of 2 172s in 1 year !!!!!!!!
I have had an 82 Ford 1.1 Fiesta, 97 Clio 1.4 Sport, 98 Corsa 1.4 Sport, 89 Ford 1.4 Fiesta, 02 Clio 172, 99 Ford Ka in the 7 years I have been driving, never owned 2 cars at the same time either.
So for me, the...
From past experience I have found it is very hard to haggle over price when part-exchanging your car as they tend to alter your part-ex value if they give you the new car for cheaper to compensate so in reality you are not getting a better deal. If you can get them to drop the price aswell as...
Harsh, but fair....... why not Welsh W4nker ? Got a better ring to it !
:devilish:
Now stop changing the topic you Engleeesh pig dog, I fart in your general direction........
;)
Cos her tag is Squirt 172, same as people call me Daipac and call you Chavy you eader ! Now quit being pi$$y Engleeeesh !
:D
I agree with everything else you said mate.
PS Blue 172s are the quickest yeah ?
;)
I am actually going to look at a MKII 172 tonight, blue, 9500 miles on an 02 reg and he will take £8,800 so that is a rough indication. The 172s do seem to be going down in price but then you never make money on cars (unless you own a Mini One apparently).
Motorpoint.co.uk are now selling...
The new V6s rock ! They are just so much better looking inside and out compared to the MKI, love them ! Only ever seen 1 MKI on the road in Swansea and you get hell of a shock seeing how mean it looks.
RS 172, just go on any bank site like Egg, Nothern Rock, etc. and they have a loan...
