2005 182 84k - £2k

[CrippsCorner]

Seems like a right bargain! It's still in stock, just phoned up a moment ago, was going to nab this one myself but decided I want to get something more local. Just thought I'd help someone out if they're looking...

its 15 miles away from the postcode you put in...:S

 

[CrippsCorner]

Yes but in Kent from where I live, so discount that as being a real 15 mile trip. It's about a 2 1/2 hour round trip, probably more so on a Saturday, and I just cba. Plus if something goes wrong, it would be effort getting it back to the garage. They certainly have some bargains though... have a really nice Celica T-Sport with part-TRD kit for only £2k as well!

There's an Octavia vRS just up the road I might look at lol, bit different I know!

 

[Bluebeard]

No such thing as a free lunch.

There's something wrong with it.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Do you know that as in it's known on this forum? Or just guessing... noticed the exhaust is a little wonky from the rear picture.

trade sale! expect to spend money, ive seen them sell for 2.5k with similar mileage, defo not a bargin,

bargin would be at 1k

 

[lemonnobby]

no 182 is going to be 1000 last one i paid 1400 and it was ok but needed a lot of work. could just be a dephaser or clutch outside looks tidy

 

[CrippsCorner]

There's one just up the road from me for around £2k. No cup packs (doesn't bother me as I'll be modding) and 109k miles, and the belts need doing... but full service history, only 2 previous owners and just passed MOT without even a single advisory, sound good?

No cup packs, belts need doing and high mileage.

Yeah, sounds a right gem.

This means NOTHING. I know a bloke that will print out an mot (without even seeing the car) for £100.

Robbing b******s, it's only £50 in the midlands hahaha!

Joking aside, an MOT means nothing. It's quite easy to get a ticket without checks even been done on a car.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Well starting bid is £1,750. How much are the belts these days... £500?

Mileage doesn't bother me when backed up with full history, I've had cars over 100k before. Packs don't bother me as I want new wheels, coilovers, and a carbon fibre lip. So for me, it seems okay, bidding ends next Saturday afternoon anyway. So if the price is still reasonable come the morning I may give him a call.

How many pm's you gonna get now lol..

 

[Greeny.]

They should have already been done, so not sure how it has full service history!? That's £500 you need to spend as soon as you get it!

But the point is that you can buy a better car for the same money.

And it hasn't got full service history has it. You just said the belts need doing.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Full service up until now... obviously the seller cba spending £500 on it and wants rid. They were done at 73k now its on 109k. Can I get 182 for that price? Not seen much better deals around here, could go for a 172 but I want a 182 really if I can afford it.

 

[Greeny.]

182's make less power standard than 172's from the experience of around 15-20 of them at 3 different RR days low mileage 172 cup ftw mate.

Cambelt isn't due on miles until 144k, its however overdue on age by nearly a year.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Just one more thing... forgotten as it's been a couple of years since my last Clio. Are the belts 36k & 5 years? Or is it 3 years?

 

[Bluebeard]

Auxillery belt is 36k/ 3 years. Cambelt is 72k/5 years.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Interesting, that goes against what K-Tec say.

 

[Bluebeard]

Really? I just read their website and it says the same.

 

[lemonnobby]

aux belts were 36k or 5 yrs some people were saying 3 though

 

[CrippsCorner]

Really? I just read their website and it says the same.

This is a genuine Renault auxiliary belt and tension kit for all Clio 172s and 182s fitted with air conditioning. We are seeing more and more cars with damaged or broken tensioners so this kit should be fitted at every 36,000 mile service or every 5 years, which ever comes first.
