txtd the guy he sold it last week to a guy from - wait for it - from glasgow!!
sold it for £20k with 7k on the clock - think it should be a 05 plater if i remember rightly
i might actually know who owns this!! a guy i know has been tanning around in a v6 which is n ireland reggy plates and is usually in glasgow sometimes
still nice anyway
speaking of fast and furious i saw some idiot who had done up a 406 in the same paint scheme at the skyline GT-R in the film complete with the 'toyo tyres' down the side mark and oversized spoiler.
It looked so w**k!!
wish i had got a snap of it
if your still in warranty get them to check it out, from memory the manual says it may come on when a fault is detected or your doing high speed for a prolonged period
true, its just that the mass of the mileage during the week is going to either
inverness
oban
auchterarder
dunbar
which are all punting my mileage up with lots of motorway miles which any old car can do no probs!!
know that a second car is a hinderence, and the cost of maintenance...
cheers for the thoughts guys.
I agree with the above suggestions, one part of me really thinks its a guid idea to invest in a run about for the motorway munching leaving me to have the 172s for weekend use. The insurance would be a bit of an issue and the servicing which could make the savings...
16v_clio has a very nice dynamique in black on a 53 plater.
In terms of advice, id check the sunroof, prone to rattles (not on the 172 as it doesnt have one)
i currently have a mkII 53reg 172 (for me) and 03reg 172 cup (missus) both fine and happy with all that.
Only minor complaint is that due to my work and distances between me and the guid lady i am now finding that i am putting alot of mileage on my 172, which is 95% motorway journeys and i...
i have to say i do notice minor changes between the two that i own, but mainly cause the missus sits so close to the steering wheel, and that the glovebox is rammed full of make up and girly pisch!:D:o
phoned up, nae in stock, plus need the external aerial due to windscreen AND the windscreens still buggered wi that crack on it. Cant afford car off road for the day to get it fixed.
will get it sorted next week i hope
RA defo coming up!!
just crossed 21k miles - what you on? Defo need...
hmm after seeing paul gs cup on coilovers am well tempted.
Fraid there nr 2 on the shopping list as road angel navigator is up next. V tempted for coilovers once i get my bonus (nov)
definite oversupply and new plates have killed the market.
BUT, if you have a well cared for minter and its priced sensibly then it will go.
some areas are cheaper for 172/182s than others as well.
New 182s can be picked up £11k so that has a huge impact on the 2nd half value
