Ben-
A couple of points to note in this case.... as this car has Bulls*it written all over it-
Lights.... >>>> Xenon lights turn a blue colour when you turn them on as the light takes a few moments to warm up-
If there is NO answer as to why the lights are changed then simply walk away-...
I also dont know if people know this- maybe a heads up for someone-
If you have an Ebay account you can list a car for sale then tap the reg in on ebay & in the ebay catalogue it will tell you how many owners & the date of registration....
You would assume that someone has the V5, but perhaps...
Ben- I did keep in touch & Say you should have bought through me-
What I would say is the comments in this thread are correct-
the car may be an 'unrecorded' loss-
A lot of 'rogue' ( SOME GENUNINE) traders go to bodyshops & places to buy cars that have been in accidents but not declared...
I have a 172 mk 2 02 plate-
Buying turinis for it-
Given the choice what would be the best tyre profile? I know either a 195 or 205 would fit- but is that 45 / 16 or what?
Many thanks
Steve
Some days you can just pick the PC up & throw it out of the window-

It was on £50 with 4 hours to go- I thought It will go for £75-£80- I was happy to pay this-
So I as I was rushing to go out I stuck £81 in on my snipe to win-

Hi-
Went to buy a car yesterday- Was advertised as
50k FSH Pristine in every way-
Got there was a total Shed & the vendor was a total TARD-
Had 56 K, needed a service, Smashed front H/Light, Kerbed alloys & so on....
I Won the auction to buy the car,but I want to leave negative feedback-...
Insurance Company usually pay only 50% book value on CAT C- bar that in mind-
Low mileage Clio 182 05 Plate will probably book at around 5k give or take-
So 2.5k is coming your way if it gets written off....

Its a tad over priced- it may actually be worth it- but most people buying a 182 these days have done their research & know that things like the belts etc are due this year, ( or early part of next for yours)-
I sold my 182 last week & in literally the same week of advertising- was same...
Who remembers the film Airplane- & the Blow up Automated pilot that appears when ted striker passes out-

In reality for the Private seller Prices never ever rise.....
If your a dealer & have access to market Trends & CAP then yes they have crept up a little- but thats mainly on nearly new cars- 05 onwards-
S
Im not really mechanically minded- I will leave that to the other guys-...
Best of luck with the purchase & subsequent sale- if you drive it for 2 months & only make £300 then its +++ money, which also means you havent lost anything in depreciation as well on another car that you may have been...
LOL @ some of the comments in this thread- 5k for a 172-
I think I did a definitive buying guide somewhere for the 182, but never 172-
Hers a couple of bits of information that will help you on the way- I will give you a value on what I think its worth at the end-

43k is not all...
