Why not?

Cars just aren't selling atm.

 

[bomber]

cars are worthless at the moment, time to buy if your after a toy

 

[maz172cup]

man...the top end cars are droping fast, just makes u wonder how much our 172ff & cups are worth

 

[D4N13L]

Put it this way wont be selling mine for a long time

 

[Fletcher]

^^^feck all mate.

Good job i don't ever intend selling mine.

 

[bomber]

absolutly squilch, few grand when you come to sell it. mines staying with me till it rots in half. and when it becomes un-road worthy, i'll use various parts for living room furniture in the house i buy at rock bottom price too

recessions f**king rock for some people lol

*but i do feel for the people who are genuinely being bent over and made redundant etc *

 

[ChrisD172]

Its priced about right with that sort of mileage.

 

[Timmay]

id love that!

 

[Nigel]

Very good price that, doubt it'll be on there for long.

 

[Marky_]

That's silly money now.

 

[Gally]

sexwee price as said in previous thread as a potential buyer i love the current climate.

 

[Steve]

Its priced about right with that sort of mileage.

One sold 2 weeks ago for £6500 with only 13000 miles.

Glad i got out when i did, could buy another & bank 3k

 

[m4rkie23]

definately a buyers market atm! that car looks like a minter

 

[R20 CWH]

not bat at all, but after 3 years i would expect it to worth where they have pitched it imo.

Was that the one on ebay?

 

[Ste#70]

yea, the guy who sold it is on cliotrophy.co.uk. wasnt best pleased it going for that price iirc, was expecting alot more interest at the end of the auction.

no reserve FTL.

 

[Fletcher]

^^^i thought so.

Someone got a real bargain considering the low mileage.

 

[Poopensharten]

Thats a competitive price imo

Its been well cared for id have no qualms about taking this!

As said, no ones buying any cars at the mone tdue to the fact that tax is going to be expensive next year and there not exactly the most economical cars on the road.

Theres limited market for hot-hatches at the moment imo

I'd disagree. They aren't significantly more expensive to run than a lot of hatchbacks, 35mpg.

 

[1PBY]

Ive just bought a trophy. paid £6425 from a guy on trophy forum. Tis a minter too with 34k on clock. i feel like ive done well!!!!

 

[Mike@MJCycles.com]

if you Really looked you could of got a deal similar once bartered around 2 months ago.

Not sure about that. Standard 182's were still around £6k then (I know because I paid £6k for one. 05 model. Looking back, the price wasn't bad at the time. Just shocked how much its dropped since)

 

[matttr6]

Just to add, completely opposite to this. There were 2 182's in the southwest Autotrader last week for £8k+ (may have been a few weeks ago actually)

 

[nth]

doubt any 182 would get sold for 8k+ now regardless of how mint it is

I fully agree! It was just an example of how far out of touch some people are. Although cars do seem to be more expensive down here in the south west (maybe due to lack of choice?)

£270 a year for tax and insurance group 16?

Aye ok

Agreed mate. I think my cups lost about a grand in two months.

Ah well, going to keep hold of it.

 

[Mike@MJCycles.com]

Really?

yep yep.
infact, i opted for a ff 182 as i wanted the lower miles for the same price instead of a trophy

I'm not sure I follow the whole Trophys worth more thing. Pretty sure I'd miss my xenons and I know I definately couldn't put up with the poverty spec rear bench.

Are they really that much better to drive??

easy swap and if i was buying a trophy xenons would be the first buy.

 

[Ian]

Lol at the avatar gally! Sh's gonna wish she'd neve posted it now!

If I had 6.5k I'd buy the Trophy over the 182.

What's so special about the 182 Trophy? What do you get extra?

 

[Reyes]

Ive seen many about that price. Its a clio = pap

 

[Curley]

doubt any 182 would get sold for 8k+ now regardless of how mint it is

I just bought one for 6995, really low milage too.

what did you get?

To answer the trophy/182 ff thing, i had a choice of a 182 FF with 11,000 or a trophy with 28,000 miles for the same money. For me, the choice was simple.
