172 under 4k

[Clart]

I have 4k max to spend on a car. Would you buy a high mileage (ie 100k) 172?

 

[seb]

if its been serviced regulary and it seems in good nick i probably would.

but i would like to get it checked out by someone who knew more than me.

your tempted then im guessing?

 

[JJ!]

It really depends on how long your wanting to keep the car... if its just a short term fix then yeah i would go for it.. but if your looking for a car that your going to keep for a while I would try getting something with less miles..

there is a lovely Diablo red 106 GTi on autotrader for £3795 from a garage. its on 50k with full service history, just had cambelt done and service. comes with warrenty etc - thats what i would go for!!

 

[The Big Yin]

Clart if you look hard enough there are plenty that sell (Mk1s) for less than £4k with decent mileage - not on here tho... Try Ebay thats your best bet

 

[fUbAr]

i would get the williams that in the for sale section.

60 odd k miles, and its a minter.

in fact, i would probably have it if it wasnt in Glasgow!

 

[Clart]

i dont want a williams though.

 

[Dansta]

no.

Id love a Mk1 172. Seeing them at FCS has made me really want one. Need to save hard though!

 

[Maxx]

Ive seen a few mk1 172s for about 4k - most have high miles tho or cat c etc

Weeman has a Mk2, Bumbaclart has a Mk1.

Clart, why dont you just hold out for a few months... prices will keep falling and with yet another face lift around the corner youll start seeing them under 4k for the examples you are currently looking at and 4k will get you something with better mileage.

 

[Mark_Petty]

Yeah I would hold out for a little longer and try and get a little more £s together.

I reckon in a couple of months you could get a 172 mk1 50k miles with a full service history for about £4500 - £5k

Who knows if you look around you may get one now.

 

[Clart]

ive seen a 2000, 34k, 1 owner for 5k.

[MikeC]

[Flo]

Hybrid £3k?

 

[Clart]

i want a newer car with about 50k on the clock. I know i wont get a 172 for £4k, but i could probly stretch to 4500 for the right car.

Mikey - lets talk turkey

 

[MikeC]

[Homer]

if you hang on a couple of weeks you might be able to get a Trophy.

£4k you think. Honestly, the residuals are that good on clios.
