Good stuff, im tempted to go and look at this yellow one then! Its up for £2500 at the moment with 85k, has some service history and looks in good condition! Think I could wing it down to £2000? (as that is my ideal price to spend, and ive seen many other 172's for that price)

Really?? Who are you with and how many years no claims have you got? Im coming up to having my 1 years no claim, as I was on my dads insurance in the previous years!

See im not too worried about it being on 80k (i would prefer lower but as they are 10 year old cars, it will be pretty scarce to find a good one with low mileage), its just my dad moaning about it... Even though he knows I only plan to keep it for a year!

Im thinking of going to look at a sunflower yellow one near to me... My only concern is the mileage at 82,000... My dad recons I should avoid it with that sort of mileage, but surely thats still good for a 10 year old car! It has service history aswell, with the cambelt being done around 15,000...

Whats wrong with it?? 200 miles away though :S

Thanks for all the info.. Both that ive been to look at today have been no go's... The one with no service history's interior wasnt the best, was missing the 6cd changer, the front bumper was hanging a bit due to broken clip and it had an induction kit on... And 5 previous owner with only...

1 that im going to look at hasnt got service history so im a bit warey... It has quite low mileage and looks in good condition but we'll see... The other one I may be looking at as FSH!

What are the things I need to be looking for, to make sure I dont buy a dodgy car? Thanks.

I dont get these insurance costs: Ph1 172 (W reg) = £1000 Ph2 172 (02 reg) = £1800 Ph2 182 (05 reg) = £1900 How can the ph2 172 be that much higher!! Think ill stick with the ph1 this year! :P

I thought about it, but then I thought with all the extras, it may attract more interest in the car! What do you think about the ad itself? Everything set out right? Missed anything out? (First time ive wrote out a car ad)

Here is the link to my Pistonheads ad: http://pistonheads.com/sales/1494516.htm Let me know what you think? PM me on here if you are interested. Thanks, Paul.

hahaha.. thats ok then, im going to look at a couple of 172's tomorrow! Im hoping I can keep the fuel costs below £50 a week!

s**t the bed.!! Have you done any engine mods to the car?? This doesnt sound too good to me, as im thinking of getting a ph1 172

Mines a 53 plate... I drive like a grandad though! Change gears at around 2000rpm and never thrash the car. Ive only been over 3-3500rpm when ive been on the motorway doing around 70mph lol (which is hardly ever)

Im currently getting 50.2mpg out of my 1.2 I think I get around 400 miles for £25-30 of petrol (thats my weekly fill up rate)

I have that sticker on my car! Not as low as that fooker though :rasp:

+1 it is s**t... but fair play to someone for doing it!

Ive only had FF 10 (i think, the first one on the ps2 with the awesome graphics)... Ill defo be getting this! Such a good game!

Saw this the other day.. Made me lol

Yea, the quotes ive been getting are around the same price for a 182... Cheapest I got was from elephant for £1900... Sack That! Im tempted to get the ph1 for a year, as its just about the same on insurance as my 1.2 and can get decent ones for like £2k. Will give me experience on how to handle...
