£8k budget on a Black 182 with Cup Packs, possible?

You have to remember - One mans mint and unmarked is another mans nail. I have lost count of how many Concours condition sheds I have seen.

^^^^^^^^Agreed mint too me means spotless not 1 mark on the car what so ever! i think you would have too look very hard to find a car that is MINT , brand new cars included!

Have you got one yet ??

 

[chetannathwani]

lol not yet! I`m going to have a look at this one on Saturday http://www.allvehicles.co.uk/usedcar.htm (half way down).

How much do the special tyres on the cup version (on average) cost?

 

[chetannathwani]

hth

 

[chetannathwani]

yeah spoke to this guy before, he is on the forum. Looks like a really nice car, but i do prefer the cup wheels!

 

[Gaz_]

Its certainly clean, but i see where you come from, they make the car more desirable as i've posted many times before.

 

[jayxx83]

bit off topic, but allvehicles website has a nice write up on the V6. Makes me want one real bad.

 

[chetannathwani]

All - Just to let you know, I bought a Silver 182 FF with both cup packs in mint condition.... wooohooo I`m now part of the Clio Sport Crew!

Whens the "meet" down south then?????

Thanks for all your help and feedback aswell.

 

[R20 CWH]

pics needed

 

[chetannathwani]

Yes Sir!!! picking it up Monday 3rd Dec though.... few days wait!!!

 

[fez]

was it within budget? details details

 

[chetannathwani]

Yes mate was well within budget and from a dealer. they are refurbing two wheels which had minor scuffs and a couple of scuffs i found on the bodywork! Also wangled a full tank of '98 (the high octane one??!). Also included service, 12months mot, 12month warrenty, 6 months RFL and touch up stick. Think its a good deal especially from a dealer and low mileage!!

 

[Gaz_]

that'll do, get some pics up

 

[fez]

sounds amazing, always nice to get free fuel. well done

 

[chetannathwani]

will do... ill post them up on Monday (if i can get out of the car!!)

 

[d-anie-l]

Interesting read as i have been trawling autotrader for a black one today. Whats the "FF" i keep seeing mentioned btw?

 

[fez]

full fat ie no weight saving options like air con instead of climate control leather instead of cloth etc etc

 

[Ian_182]

So its like having a pair of wellies in your boot in a 182 cup the ammount of weight they save

Well done anyway,you will enjoy the toys

 

[chetannathwani]

cheers....5 days left....

 

[chetannathwani]

Only me.....

Just picked the 182... had the best drive ever!

How do I upload pictures on here?

 

[Diesel_Power]

How much did you pay? Mileage?

 

[chetannathwani]

7.7g 26k Silver from dealer... everything in mint.

 

[Diesel_Power]

Cool, what plate is it on? Thats good to say it has warranty too.

 

[chetannathwani]

2004 plate. yeah thats what i thought! 4 brand new tyres aswell (extra bonus that was!).

 

[Diesel_Power]

All you need now is for it not to break, if all is well, only then it becomes a cracking deal.

 

[chetannathwani]

Heres hoping!

 

[Ian_182]

Come on get the pics up then

 

[djpotter]

Hi,

I`m trying to hunt down a mint Black 182 with cup packs around the 30k mileage mark and no marks on the alloys or body work..... possible?

I have seen a few and most have marks on the wheels, which honestly i dont want the hassle of getting refurbed!

Do you think my budget is too low?

it is possible i just bought one totally mint one owner from new full service history but 40k runs like a dream. just keep looking

 

[cat171]

^
lol, he's got one now - he's just not put the pics up yet.

 

[chetannathwani]

yeah still trying to work out how to put the pics up!!! Got my first drive back home today, on the motorway and some nice a roads!

 

[JoelDee]

Be able to get a spunker for that

 

[chetannathwani]

never gonna guess what happened.... half way through my journey (about 80 miles), the SERV light and the T/C light came on the dash! I was screwing! Pulled up and checked the manual, it said "operating fault" contact Renault Dealer.

So carried on driving and just reached my destination. Rang up a local Renault Dealer, and they saying £63 investigation charge! If the fault is covered under warrenty, then they will get that from Renault For You. So I was screwing even more! Rang the dealer I got the car from (120 miles away now) and they said they obviously wouldnt charge anything for investigation!

So question is.... can I still drive the car normally on the motorway and therefore take it back to my original dealer on Monday, or should I go get it checked out here and potentially pay the £63 if the fault is not under warrenty???? Please help!!

 

[chetannathwani]

OK this is weird.... after i returned I started up the car again after about 40mins and all the lights stayed off?! Drove it around town and still they didnt come back on.... maybe some cooling issue?

Is this the start of things to come in a "182 Owners Life...."

 

[jayxx83]

prob the car winding u up. it has to get used to you first
