190,000 miles...?

[Ads_172]

Seen a pretty damn cheap 172 Exclusive with 186,000 on the clock and 'part service history'.

Having not really kept in the loop with 1*2's in recent months, is this something I should even consider parting with money for!?!

Not seen one that high mileage before!

 

[Matty_N]

Thats got to be a record!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

If its up for less than £900 take it

 

[Triki]

How cheap ?

 

[TimR26]

How cheap is pretty damn cheap? It'd be a good shell for a trackday car, the part history would worry me though if it hasn't had regular oil changes.

 

[Revels]

Around a grand, then mebbe.

I don't like the Exclusives anyway tbh. You'll get a lot lower Ph1 for under £2k.

 

[ABOO]

Price?????

 

[Eddyg]

Hey well it can't be that crap a car if its made it to 186'000!
I'd take it as a good thing if they can still be round. Saying that though without this history you have no idea what needs doing so it has to be reflected in the price..

wow better hope thats had a new gearbox!

Am amazed at how many sub-£2k 172's there are now!

Tbh if its been maintained and not abused then why would it?

Take Russ's Phase 1 as an example, still on original clutch and gearbox at 120k+

Fair enough I guess, but if driven at least half hard it will go pop sooner rather than later, mine was replaced on 55k by the previous owner :/

I'm on the original clutch- box too, it's on 119,500.

Looks like a no brainer to me.

 

[Henry]

it's hard work looking after a car, taking it to that kind of mileage (or it should be, if it's done properly). you can't compare circa 200k to circa 100k!

is it that one in the link?

 

[TimR26]

I'd prefer to pay bit more for lower mileage ph1. Those seats the exclusive came with are awful.

 

[Justin_16vT]

Eurgh the interior on the exclusive is not good

 

[Daniel]

Exclusives are awesome. Fact.

186,000 miles tbh the cars worth no more than £800. I'd want to be paying closer to 5!

 

[jonnytheboy]

milage shouldnt be an issue these days, i bought a E34 M5 once with 312k on the clock.

Aye, won't be chasing this one up. Find me a 106 GTi for around a grand if you fancy it?

Had my eye on that, was waiting for Russ to reply. If someone is in touch with him tell him to get his ass in gear!

this one in colne i went to see it today when woman told me millage i walked away with the price she was asking

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^what price was she asking for it?

 

[Rob669]

My ph1 has 130,000, still on original clutch and gearbox. Used on airfield events and driven hard. Only thing wrong is the slightly creaky suspension. I wouldn't be put off by high milage more interested in how it's been maintained.

£1600 quid but my mate knew why the women and why it was getting sold so we were gonna be checky and get it for less

but still it would have to be ubder 1k to buy it as it would need a new engine at somepoiint im guessing with that millage

Not cheap then.

If it's had a full service history, then it should make 200k + without any probs.

This would be the difference between buying a car and not for me
