[gmdh555]

Anyone care to suggest a reasonable trade-in value for my Mk2 172 against a 182 Cup? Spec as below:

Reg 09/2001 (51), one owner, 17K miles, iceberg silver, FRSH with supplying dealer, full 172 spec, Supagard, exc condition.

Mods: Eibach Prokit springs, Hillpower Group N ECU.

Cheers, Gareth

Misread it, trade in your looking at around £6-6.5k. Thought you were selling privately

 

[gmdh555]

Hmmm - private sale much better then. Easy to sell, or not worth the hassle?

 

[Big Iain]

not easy to sell imo take ne thing you can off it and trade it in

Most dealers wont like a car with mods for a part ex.

My dealer took my 172 - it had the Hillpower ECU, Eibachs and a Magnex.

Cant see the problem - can provide the original springs and ECU if they wanted (cant reuse the Group N on another car anyway). Not like the cars been devalued by having an ironing board bolted onto the hatch or something.

haha ive got a mint 53Reg MKII 172 with all the gadgets and some extras and the most ive got quoted was 6.5K !!! its only 18 months old FFS i could get 8k private but who wants one now there are 182s for 10k and soon 8k no doubt. but dont expect the cheapest 172s to be in good nick.

well pleased with that.

 

[gmdh555]

How many miles on it? Cheapest 53 172 within 40 miles of me is just under £10,000, most expensive is £11,500.

The newest 172 I could get for £8,000 is an 52 plate with around 20k on the clock.

Bring it down to Wiltshire and make a fortune, this is of course the area where my local Renault dealership has 182 demonstrators with 3k+ at £14,000!
