I'm glad you have learnt your lesson, you were lucky but at the same time you will never buy a car the same way again.
Become a member, do your research and then buy it. Before I buy my next RS I will post the advert up on here, get the opinion of 50+ RS enthusiasts and then probably take one of...
It took me ages to kill the bear! I did it first time, it just took an age to keep running after it and getting the occasional knife swipe in. They might be big and heavy but they are quicker than John Marsdon!
The ending I thought was great, but the revenge or redemption should have been the...
Re: ***How much is my car worth?***
Think that was it mate, the rolling shot, could be your avatar?
Don't ask me what thread either, too many now! lol.
I don't have air con now so I wouldn't miss it + standard seats look nice to me
Would def choose recaros + air con if I wasn't handing car back after 2 years though.
I think it's unfair to say the non packed version is s**t and you shouldn't buy one.
Plenty of old grannies were happy with non cupped 182's out of the factory, hence some were ordered.
Only joking damo :rasp:
Re: ***How much is my car worth?***
Well it's RB and an 05 plate, maybe I was being a bit harsh.You could have got it cheaper privately but you have piece of mind through the garage and extras you've listed. Enjoy, you're happy that's the main thing.
Re: My car
Well it's a late model 172 which is a positive, mileage is good, cambelt done, you say bodywork and interior in decent nick.
Wheels and exhaust may put some people off, do you have standards?
What colour is it?
If it was mint I'd say around the 4k mark, as it is maybe 3.5k. Depends...
Good choice Dan, this is such a good deal. An absolute shite load of people have gone for it on this site in the last few weeks. I'm so tempted but can't justify the costs at the moment. Hope this deal comes around again next year though.
I forget everytime and it's always a complete nightmare if you try and pay with your card, constant errors! Credit your account now for much less hassle!
Yeah fair point but the last 172 I bought had two major failings 2 weeks after I bought it - one was the climate control and the other was the throttle body which were both sorted by the garage at a big cost. As soon as you drive off after buying a car privately you are on your own. I'm lucky...
Oh definitely, it's just a personal preference of mine. Would rather pay a few extra quid knowing I have some back up from a garage.
£2800 is underpriced for a car like that imo. £3400 is more like it for a private sale and add a few extra hundred because this is from a garage. I'd be...
Nice, cheers for that.
It's overpriced no doubt but buying from an independent dealer is never the cheapest option. It gives me piece of mind though, have never bought privately.
