Hi I’ve just recently joined and I’ve come from a line of bmw and amg cars. Looking to get back into something fun on a lower budget

I was going to Swindon to buy one and the person selling it messed me around a bit and I dropped nearly £30 on a train ticket

That's the main reason I'm on here. The best place to find good cars are owners clubs everyone knows that.

I won't buy a pup trust me. I'm not 17. I work in the trade and I'm picky about where I put my money. I'm not desperate at all and as I said I'm looking at other cars but a 172 is my preferred choice. I know for a fact I can get what I want for the money I want to spend but I just need something...

No that's true but if you had the choice of 2 identical cars one with 1 owner and one with 5 owners which one would you pick? The problem I have is I live in Cheshire so albeit Bristol not being the other side of the world I couldn't just pop round after work to have a look. And unfortunately I...

I work in the motor trade so I'm not bothered if I buy one that needs a cambelt but I like clean tidy low owner cars that have good bodywork. And low owners means a hell of a lot! If you buy a 1 owner car with full history. You can track the full life of that car and you know pretty much exactly...

Where do you live?

I've watched a few go in the last few weeks ranging from 46000 miles to 60000 miles with cambelts changed and low owners. Ranging in price from £1700 to £2100. So they are out there. But it's just a case of right place right time.

I've come to terms with the fact I need to wait. But on the other hand I could do with a car as its a pain getting lifts to work. I know one will turn up but I have to stick to my budget though. I'm looking at other cars aswell but a 172 is top of my list

That's the other thing with the one in Wigan it's not ready to be driven away. I like to view a car, pay for it and drive it home

Get that bumper painted then!

And it's not mint, it's not bad but it's not the best I've seen

It means there is one in Wigan!

Well it's £500 and the tax runs out in a few weeks so there's another £120 ish. Plus a few bits and pieces which I always expect to do with a new car to make sure it's right. So really it could be nearly £700. I want a clio because they're cheap. Paying full whack for one defeats the object...

Quick ring this bloke in Wigan! He's got one for sale!

I spoke to him he said come and view it and make me an offer. So I went and viewed it and made him an offer and you'd swear I'd just called him fat. Basically the impression I get is make me an offer as long as its £2495 ill accept it.

It's a nice car. But he won't move at all on the price. If he would come down a few quid I'd take it

If I could only find one that's located somewhere in the centre of the country ill be away.

They're only worth what people are willing to pay. The reason I want one is that they're a bargain

Meaning?

Thanks. That looks right up my street. Let me know when it goes up for sale

Feel free to email me some details if you want neil5489@aol.com

Not you, the Monaco blue one

I'm not going for that one. The bloke is an arse. Basically I have £2000 to spend I'm after a ph2 172 with good history and not too many miles. I live in Cheshire. If anyone has one for sale or knows of one that a friend maybe selling can they let me know through here. I'm not travelling too far...

No I've not seen the paperwork yet. I'm just going off the advert.

Yeah apparently it had the cambelt and the pulley changed. It's had 5 owners and its all clear on hpi

I went to view it last week. It looks good I would of just been happier if it was more like £2200

Is £2495 too steep for a Monaco blue 59000 mile car that's just had a cambelt done? I've seen one in a garage not far away and it is a really straight car. It's standard except a ktec stealth exhaust.

Oh no I've been banned by the Internet police!

Meaning???
