Advice on these 182s please

[Carguy]

Hi guys,

Martin here. I haven't posted on here in a long time but I'd appreciate your thoughts on the following cars which I'm considering buying to use as a second car and as a bit of an investment. I'd be grateful for your views on the price vs everything we know from the adverts and from without seeing the cars at this stage. My criteria is to buy something with less than 40k, with a full service history, having had key work done.

Am I misguided in thinking that if I sold any of these in 5 years I could hope to make similar money to what I paid, assuming I cherish the car during my ownership?

Thanks very much in advance.

Martin

Why would you want an old 182, when you have a better up to date nimbus?

Well starters it is lighter,and doesn`t lunch it`s gearbox or exhaust flexi pipes.
Dare I say it,they also seem to be apprieciating in value.

Thanks, I saw this. My wife is asking me to hold off until our baby is born next month but I'll be gutted to let that one go as it looks very well kept.

Trust me. There will always be another. Family first. It may still be there you never know.

I noticed that one. Appears to have been taken off now. Out of interest, what's the average cost of the above job?

 

[Stefan.]

With dephaser around 600

Not too bad over 5 years but not something you want to have to do right away unless you get a bargain. That 182 in Dundee looks lovely.

Major service & spark plugs (no air filter) - £214.03+VAT (£256.83)

Thanks Fergie - good to know.

purely as an investment then the Clio, trophy or not is not the car to go after. But to enjoy owning something that you wont lose any money on and will probably gain a little, then not a bad move
