55 plate 172???

[brewey]

Surely this cant be right?? Must have be a crashed and wrongly repaired 182 right?

Or would it have just sat un-registered on a forecourt for 2(ish) years?
:S

There are a few about iirc mate.

It's not unheard of for them to be late registered.

Thing is with cars like this, surely the 5yr cambelt rule is more like 3 years?

Interesting one. My parts database says it is indeed a 2005 172 Cup registered on 10/10/05 as it says on the eBay listing. A late registration perhaps, it does happen, the low-ish mileage would also back this up.

 

[brewey]

It just seemed a little suspect, I've heard of a few '04 plates and thought that they were late, especially when you think 197's weren't far behind this plate..

Cambelt would definitely need changing early, unless Renault had the wisdom to change it before sale.

 

[brewey]

Just noticed that it has no aspects of being a cup too.

:s

Yep! Even if it's been standing still it still needs doing if it's going to be used properly, to be safe.

Should we tell him?! Lol.

 

[SC03OTT]

Spotless condition outside apart from a few minor scratches

So not spotless then.

 

[brewey]

So many on ebay say the word 'cup' anyway I didn't take any notice, until you said about your database saying it was a 172 cup.

 

[Austin-182]

Has black seatbelts not silver??

 

[Matbrown]

The drivers door looks Titanium silver whereas the rest of the car is Iceberg?

 

[Nick r26r]

FLOL, you're 100% correct. It COULD just be the lighting, but if not, that's awful.

Campus Sport, did them up to 07, but again, late registration.

Mines an 04' plate, and there's a 182 round the corner which is also a 04. Depends when they got registered, the bloke who bought it left the original receipt in the glovebox and there was a big discount on it I think...hense he obvo bought it

Yeah I would of expected a biggg discount. Would be a good deal if you originally wanted a bogo 182 as there isn't a great deal of difference surely??

If he'd of wanted Cup packs then I imagine it would of maybe taken more selling power.

they do them campus's upto 58reg, last of the old stock

 

[Alastair.]

i had a 06 182 for a couple of days through work, poverty spec with no cup packs, nasty.

Yeah true mate, you never know what the saleman told the buyer do ya? I'll have a look at the receipt tomorrow and see how much he got off! I'm sure it was £11,995. Werent they £15k new?? And it wasn't registered cause there was plates on the bill!
I've got cruise control too, or did that come with all 04's?

 

[brewey]

I'm pretty sure the late ones came with it! I've been looking for a 172 for myself at the min; while looking I've seen some '53 plates with it.

Again I guess it depends on how long the dealer had the car in group stock.

 

[Dan1587]

Yeah exactly! Is there a date of manufacture printed on the car or V5? That would be the only way to tell tbf!
