182 Trophy do I sell

[Alex82]

Back in the 2000,s Worked for Renault for 10 years watching the 182’s roll off production, never saw a trophy come my way. One day I see a trophy pop up for sale in my area had the cash was a good price, so excited didn’t even try knock him down so bit his hand off.
The next day he asked if he could buy it back and was a bit tearful. Obviously I said no.
Getting it ready for the next owner. Cambelt was done 10k 6 years ago. But slapping a new one on today! aux belt all tensioners, idlers, water pump, all fluids changed, full detail the works. Whatever needs doing will be done.
It’s done 55k miles, plenty of paperwork, I’ve put countless hours into it and getting it as perfect as can be

I’m reluctant to sell (who wouldn’t be) my question is… is it the right time to sell? how much are they currently worth?
I was surprised to see we buy any car offering £10k thought they might offer £2k

@SharkyUK is your man for Trophy info and current prices 👍

 

[charltjr]

Does it still have the Sachs shocks and when were they last refurbished? Affects values quite a lot, even though that car screams garage queen/collectors piece at that mileage.

Trophy Sales on Collecting Cars

We could look to make a separate thread for other platforms / auction sales etc - similar to this for the CC records - in the Clio Trophy Discussion forum section, what do you think Nick? :) (y) On the Mk1 Mini forum I frequent, we have two different threads; "At the Auctions" - which is self...

cliotrophy.co.uk

Have a read through the recent pages on that thread. Gives a good idea of current pricing (which has always tended to be a bit erratic).

55k miles, in good condition & history, with all the right bits on. You’re talking bottom line £15k upwards currently.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

If you don't need to sell I'd hold on to it if you're able to keep on top of the maintenance. The value is only going one way.

 

[Clio_fool]

The one at £17k had 50k miles and the one at £16k had 50k miles, so yeah you'd be looking at £15k plus on the right day.

Buyers premium also needs adding to those CC prices… 😉

Yeah but that's no concern to the seller.

The 17k car sold this week had 40000 miles and was a 1 owner car -

Have you any pictures of the car that you could post - also what number is it ???

Still have the Sachs they have been refurbed and boxed, and put the cup suspension on. She is number 328. Just replacing the cambelt on it this weekend detecting a slight leak from the rocker cover so might as well seal that up while I’m on it. Want her back to just rolled out of dieppe look gone super ocd and cleaning every part up as I go. Not urgent to sell as I can garage her up. Only pressure to sell is from the missus but I know 328 is a better ride and cost less to maintain.

Definitely 328? Will probably be worth a bit less as previously written off.

 

[NickReilly063]

I was just going to ask that question too

[SharkyUK]

As above, #328 appears to have been written off very early in its life. Subsequently, it was repaired and returned to the road in 2006. Sadly, this will negatively impact on sale value (assuming the car is #328).

Looking like it’s 328 v2.0 it’s definitely 328 on the seat. This is new information to me, stupidly I never checked; I paid 4.5k so still a bargain. Ripping off the front end I have noticed that non oem bumper vibe and the ac condenser had a dent in it and some plastics are missing other than that the repair work must have been good everything lines up and all parts are oem stamped all the green and yellow paints can still be seen (not that proves much for replacement parts) making it hard to tell what exactly has been replaced. You guys are a wealth for information. This was my first post usually just a casual lurker. Such a good community. Thank you all for your input and @SharkyUK for the link and @Louis for the bants. I’ll have to get some pics up to be scrutinised

Looking through the history I’ve just noticed in 2005 it was a lady owner so things tally up

No worries. The website is currently undergoing a rewrite that will make it easier to maintain and update the data set, but it has a little way to go yet.

Brings back memories 187 was mine.

7k here

 

[Alex82]

Just an update, I had the usual hassle from webyandshed. I was half expecting them to knock me down a few grand. The guy said they have never seen one before (Tbh I worked at Renault for about 7-8 years and never saw one) I said I was in 2 minds whether to sell or not as I’d done so much work to it. He told me they have now had 3 in the past month now. I was offered 9 as the ac was not working but would have been offers the full 10k if working. Now I’m being offered more.

 

[Ant1]

Ok, so let it go if they are offering 9k? Is it on the HPI register as a previous write off? If so I can’t see them paying full whack for a category listed car.

If it’s a cat d for example they will only offer you 4k. They won’t know until the HPI check the car during the selling process.

 

[Alex82]

The site offers f-all when you put in the

The site offers £3790 when I went through and changed it with the cat C write off. It’s been a week so I assume they HPI’d it. Just seems a bit weird. Might just take the 9k and get my other one back on the road, just needs a steering angle sensor, so easy to get hold of there is an abundance of them down the middle of Lidl.

I still think it will be HPI checked when you’re going through the paperwork so it will come out of the woodwork. It won’t slip past them that’s for sure as many people would have tried. Don’t get your hopes up.

HPI it yourself, use Vcheck. If it’s on there you know what’s going to happen.

 

[Martin_172]

if you can get 9k for a cat registered car with that paint job on the front bumper, bite his hand off

 

[Darryl_1983]

Comes up as a CAT C on Autotrader, so I assume that's structurally damaged.

More orange peel that Tropicana, it’s been 3k and polished since, can’t stand shite paint work, probably get a better finish with a roller

Should have done that before I brought it, not gonna get my hopes up, glad I didn’t list it for sale and have someone thinking I was trying to mug them off, just done the belt, dephaser,W/P and all the fluids. So it would be good to go if I sold it. Be nice to know what actually happened tbh.

Another view on it, I’d definitely see if WBAC will actually give you 9k for it if you go through the process, but if not, why not keep it?
Write off was so long ago now and only matters when you come to sell, if you do get rid you’ll certainly not get back in a nice Trophy if you change your mind for anywhere near what you get for this one.

I’d not be taking the chance personally, think you’ll be standing in court explaining knowingly defrauding a company.

If someone offered me £9k for it i'd bite their arm off

Spoiler: I've been on here long enough to remember when it was parked in someones garden

Ouch..... bruised tomato. Goodbye Trophy 328

I was involved in a crash 5 weeks ago on my way home from stevev6's which saw the car written off. In avoiding a car my side of the road on a country lane I managed to destroy a fence, avoid a house and end up resting on a railway sleeper in someone elses front garden. The first piece of fence...

Don't think you're liable as a private seller to disclose the cat status? But either way WBAC will definitely do a check.
