172 or 182????

[Schweppy]

Hey all!!!

I have £6.5k - 7k and am wanting to buy an RS Clio. I really want a 182 but at this price should i be looking at a 172???

Cheers in advance

Mint 172 plus change or average 182, the choice is yours.

 

[imperial04]

you wont get an average 182 for that price...you'ill probably have to add an extra £500 on your top end... worth it though IMO (you will be getting a newer car)

Mint 2002 172 for about £5800, 2003 £6200

Mint 2005 182 £8200

Seems to be what's going on in the world at the moment.

You can easily pick up an average 182 for 7k.

 

[imperial04]

where?

 

[imperial04]

guarentee it will have over 50k

Why buy an "average" car, when there's plenty of mint examples out there?

I'd get a mint 172.

My mate bought a 182 with both cup packs, with 17k on the clock 04 plate in Artic for 7.2k and that was three months ago.

Bargains to be had out there, imo 7k is a 182.

 

[172boost]

There are plenty of average 182's on autotrader for 6.5k

I totally agree with you, some people aren't as fussy though

182's are dropping by the day, so keep your eye's peeled, and dont be affraid to offer what you can afford.

The worst they can say is no!

Check the for sale section here, plenty of good prices going.

 

[rocket rich]

[Ricardinho]

seems to depreciate every time i go online it seems!

 

[kully]

if you can find one , then get a 182 , but 172 for your price range

 

[ChrisR]

ph1 172 and half your budget in your pocket?

 

[DrR]

172 far less common than 182's

 

[Ian_182]

^^^they made more 172's than 182's

Heres a whole page of 182's for sale within your budget.Anyone of these could be had for 7k or less

 

[Jingo]

dont buy a phase 1 172 the bonnet is hideous

 

[Goders172]

Buy a 172 and save some cash the 182 doesnt warrant the premium IMO (although it is obviously newer)

 

[lee_cup]

do you plan to mod the clio???

 

[Schweppy]

Thanks for the advice guys, think i'm gonna have a look round for a bargain 182.

Don't plan on modding for the time being because i'm only just 21 and insurance is already pretty high!?!?!
