130k miles - too high?

[peugeot205gti]

Morning,

Seen a few with this amount of miles of late, some of them still 100% standard examples to.
Whats the most you would you pay for a 1*2 with this kind of mileage or would you just avoid?

I will only be covering around 3k a year myself.

All depends on condition. Has it had the belts done? any upgrades such as Recaro seats / different alloys etc etc?

If its in good condition I wouldn't avoid it thats for sure, the drivetrains are pretty good on the 1*2's.

Just waiting on the belt info, i am supposed be hearing from them before 10am.

So lets say, 12 months MOT, standard form 172, standard seats, wheels etc, zero mods, 130k with reasonably good body. With full or almost full history, including belts within last 2 years with proof.

What do you think is fair price?

Cheers

 

[Goodj]

£1000, tops.

Don't listen to this guy.

Phase 1 or Phase 2? What colour is also important!

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, I’d say a grand.

 

[Stay Puft]

£1500.

People pay £1000 for shitters with no history!

 

[Greeny.]

Under 9k a year average (assuming its a 2003 model) is still resonable, the average car is likely to have high miles now, its an old car.

 

[peugeot205gti]

Yeah, I’d say a grand.

Do i see a 106 rallye as your profile pic! Love them

 

[peugeot205gti]

I had £1,500 in my head if the body was excellent, going by some comments on here though i should be looking to pay in between £1-1.5k

 

[Stay Puft]

What's it up for?

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Mileage isn't a big issue provided it's been looked after. Mine has done almost 140k and I am using it daily at the moment. In the 30-odd thousand miles I've drived it, it's had the belts done, regular servicing, the lambda sensors replaced and a set of injectors. The engines in them are pretty tough to be honest, so I wouldn't be put off by it, if the price is right and it's been cared-for.

Given what some people are asking for mint, low mileage cars, I would say that £1500 probably isn't far off the mark if it's in good order. Prices have climbed a bit recently.

 

[bloke]

Year and colour otherwise anything from £600 up.

 

[imprezaworks]

Get one with less miles if budget allows

Do you have a link to the ad etc ?

 

[imprezaworks]

£1500 for a 130k 172 (standard) seems madness imo.

You can pick lower mileage 182’s for £2k ish.

Unless money is an issue and haven’t you looked for more expensive ones before? Me personally would just spend more and get a 182, as an example.

Unless the 172 was say £800 ish and not needing lots of course.

 

[Goodj]

Interestingly enough

5 years ago, 172's advertised at £1500.

I know depreciation slows as cars become worth less, but it hasn't halted on these 14yr old french hatchbacks.

If it comes with £500 in the glovebox, sure, I'd pay £1500 for it.

 

[peugeot205gti]

I think you have put me off guys, not a bad thing, just exactly why i post on here. I'm not in a rush to purchase a 1*2 but its only a 30mile drive this one but appears over priced.

£1,750

Buy one off here

 

[peugeot205gti]

Been trying mate, nothing come up just yet, I'll be patient.

Suddenly im keen on a Monaco blue 172

 

[imprezaworks]

It’s a dealer so yeah that’s why it’s that much. I’d expect or be happy to pay that for say a 80k one in good condition.

On here I’d expect that to be upto £1000, I just don’t see it at any more unless it’s got wheels seats etc.

Have you put a wanted thread up?

I have done a wanted thread but no luck still mate

I think to go see it, get in front of it & see if you like it, how it drives etc and if all of the history etc stacks up. Then see what you can get it for.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Unless 172s have crept up in price since I last owned one then yeah, that's way over priced

 

[imprezaworks]

What’s max budget

 

[bloke]

Is the colour some sort of secret here or what?

 

[cat171]

It's blue.

 

[Goodj]

Baby Blue and Princess Pink are the 2 most coveted colour palettes in the Mk.2 Clio catalogue.

 

[JamesBryan]

£1,750...

I paid £1800 for my 182 5 years ago with 75k on the clock. Also had coilovers and exhaust.

 

[Darren S]

Just be aware of the road-tax too. 182s are £290 per year now and I'm assuming that 172s are no different.

That said, current road tax values are weird anyway. Using 2018 numbers, by first Punto 1.6 8v Sporting would be £250+ per year. My next Punto 1.4 8v GT Turbo (which was far more polluting and the reason why Fiat pulled the plug on them) would barely be charged at £150.

So the faster, quicker, more polluting car can save you £100+ per year? Various pipes are clearly being smoked in some circles....

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

On the subject of prices, I think they have crept up a little. Or at least a lot of the cheaper cars have dried up. I paid £1350 for my 172 Cup four years ago. I've added 30k miles to it, put a dent in the side of it and have recently been offered £1300 for it, so it hasn't lost anything, despite being a worse car than when I bought it.

But, with people asking big bucks for low milers in certain colours, it's only natural that people ask more for higher mileage ones.

I'd buy on condition and ignore what model it is to be honest.

Why spend more for a 182? They're essentially the same car. The 182 just comes with an exhaust that won't sit straight lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Was just an example.

Or get a 80k (172)well maintained for similar (1750).

I’d personally get a nice 182.

Looks nice, what what that issue could be from cold?

Exhaust is way too much for me though, i imagine that being very loud. Will drop the seller a msg though, thanks for this mate

 

[imprezaworks]

Probably an o2 sensor or injector.


No worries.
