Advice if you have a 182

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

Ok im approximatly 2 months away from buying a 182...

I firstly can't decide wether to pay that little bit extra for a racing blue or to go for the darker blue (not moneco or what ever its called) the blue in between.

I don't want a s**t heap either but it doesnt have to be immaculate.

How much am i looking to pay as i dont want anything that has done more than 45000 miles (not too bothered about the reg)

advice would be greatly appritated, also any other tips.

Extra for racing blue? Really?

 

[Rich]

Racing Blue was a free colour, pay less ... 200 quid off at least

 

[Revels]

Paying extra for a free colour? Fail.

Look around for yourself. AT/PH/eBay. £5-6k id imagine, depending on your luck.

There is so much choice but it all depends on how much you want to end up spending

here's a few

You may struggle to get one that isn't a Cat D or something

Personally, I would buy Pepperami's 172 cup. That is mint, and more rare than the 182.

clicky

from what i can gather mate the racing blue was a free colour when bought new and the arctic blue (the darker blue) was at an extra cost? which would make sense seeing as racing is a solid colour and the arctic is metallic

 

[cat171]

LY & petrol blue were I.D colours, they cost extra.

You've been on this website for a year now yet you still ask stupid questions like this?
Maybe if you actually looked at cars that are for sale to gauge prices and not ask what money will get you what, you might actually find a car you want.

If it was me I'd go for the blue 182,great price and it looks very well looked after.

 

[Tupps]

That RB182 is the reason my 172 cup is up for sale

 

[Da]

RB may have been free, but it's far rarer than the other Blue!

[Revels]

I bought my racing blue 182 at the start of october. It had 37,000 on the clock, 54 Reg, in really good nick. I paid £6350 for it. The car market has slummped sice so id guess anywhere between £5k-£6k for something similar?

[Curley]

Racing blue is a great colour, but its too flat for my liking.

Since i'm into detailing etc i went for the Arctic and it really is a nice colour dirty or polished up, also racing blue is a bit too 'look at me'... beautiful but i couldn't own one

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

i think its going to be the artic blue, i do like the look of the RB but as said above it is like "look at me" and i think the artic looks mint at night time.

thanks for the comments... well most of you

 

[Curley]

Some great bargains to be had too, good luck

 

[Mells]

Yep, or on here £3.50

Con artist! You mean £2.50

Whats your insurance going to be like. J.i.m.?

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

me as main driver - fully comp - £1150

or

me as main driver - thrid p f&t - £999.21

what you recon? i know what i think

 

[cat171]

FC.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

yep, be stupid not too just off topic, how much is it for a decent se of coilovers, would you avoid springs?? im planning to have this car for about 2-3 years and i want it spot on

 

[aspire5600]

Fully comp without a doubt, definitely worth the extra ~£200 for peace of mind.

Lol, don't jump the gun get a car first. You may like how it handles anyway.

 

[Curley]

plenty of time to do mods, i priced up miltek, sportlines, panel filter this and that all in one but decided to do it bit by bit. Might feel a bit better lol

 

[rocko_n82]

whatever colour you go for..... after a while you will wish you got the other colour lol. Artic blue scrubs up well but i kinda wish id went for rb or a trophy for the colour and seats. I had the money for a trophy, but a good condition artic one was for sale close by and i jumped at it. I long for a trophy but no way would I buy another 182, not because they are bad, just because ive owned one and fancy a change.

 

[Richyy182]

^^^ i agree

Saying that i love my artic when its all cleaned up !!!!

 

[Mells]

Thats not bad at all imo for a young driver.

I wouldnt go modding it. Just enjoy it for what it is imo. Its not like it handles like a dog when stock.

 

[cat171]

^ agreed, but you know what folk are like on here though, it must have this, it must have that :boring: If folk were tracking their cars etc I could understand it all, for the rest I don't get it.
