172 prices not always bad

[Josh@Renparts]

just shows that ebay is sometimes alright for cars, if he had advertised this he wouldn't have sold it for this much.

How do you know its not someone bidding it up for him???

 

[Josh@Renparts]

no way to be sure. unlikely though.

Hah, I bidded on this car. I emailed the seller and asked what the reserve was - he said £5900.

I watched the bidding end and it stood at £4301 until the final 30 seconds when someone bidded £5900 (just happened to be the reserve).

The winning bidder was from Wakefield, the seller was in Leeds. Nothing unusual there, however I emailed the seller after the auction had finished and he replied saying the car didn't sell on eBay and he won't let it go for under £6200.

It was his mate bidding high to stop anyone else actually buying it :/

You can get cheeper with much lower milage on autotrader.

If you buy a cheep car to start with I dont see the problem with it getting cheeper over time.

Why would he not have got £5900 for it if he'd advertised it ??
I thought £5900 for a 53 reg 172 was a bit on the cheap side tbh.

I would have paid £5900 for that if i was after a flame red 172ff, seems quite reasonable for a 53, i ve seen 51/02 examples around the £5.5k mark.

About right given 46k miles I reckon.


I paid £6200 for mine with 34k miles a couple of months ago. That wasn't the cheapest around, but it was in the best condition

 

[rory182]

6k tops, £7k will buy a tidy 54 182

I'm so glad I never bought a 172 a few years ago.
The bad news is i'll have to tell my dad that according to cs his car is worth about a quid (it's a 52 reg 172)
