Yesterday I paid £4800 for an 04 182FF with 56k on the clock and 3 previous owners, bodywork in immaculate condition.

Is that the one you are looking at? If so it has NO cup packs

 

[simonwwfc]

yes mate he states belts ent due yet but ive just told o yes they are . wot do you think price wise

 

[Se7en172]

5 years the belts are due, either they are very close as in up to 4 months time or they are passed. If both belts are due it's a £500-600 jobbie. Probably (providing the due date hasn't passed) meet him half way by offering him at least £300 less than his asking price. But it would be a better bet for you to look for a 182FF rather than a non-cupped example. Check brake disks and pads, My Disks will need changing before next MOT for sure, But this reflected the £500 I knocked off his asking price. Also ask for a cold start, check rear engine rubber mounts, cheap to change but still anything not mentioned is a bill for you, on test drive check the gear box is smooth.

cheers fella just spoke to him on phone and have said £475 at a dealers where we are for both belts . only motd til dec he is a 40yr old owner lol. so poss if i could get this knocked off around £5200 mark maybe a good deal or not :S

IMO, its the cars that haven't been used much that tend to have more problems than the ones that have. All the short 2 mile journeys to the shops and sitting there doing nothing alot of time (thats just me speculating how the car has been used) are no good for any car, especially french.

Yer that can be the other side of the coin, it is parts that get left unused tend to perish quicker and give you problems. Have to make sure oil changes were done frequently and servicing was completed as unused oil will soon deteriorate!

only just had last service at renault 800 miles ago

He must have dipped out of having the belts done. Renault pricing for the belts is near £900.

Id love to mate but im rouked at the moment.

Council tax bill dropped through the door which was a little eye watering

 

[Rossy197]

Part exed my 04 182 this week for a 197 - didnt have a clue how much the 182 was worth but luckily they offered me £5,300... I'd say i got a good price for it being a stealer

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

^That is a decent price mate!

Coupled with the aggravation of selling privatley id say it is anyway!

[Rossy197]

Yeah i wasnt complaing when he told me lol, By the time they put their mark up on it i'd say they'll put it up in the region of £6k on the forecourt.... Good luck to them i'll say

Interesting! I too was looking at this one on Auto Trader. I've just this minute sold my 56' Zetec-S.

I really need a change, and I love the Blue colour. I think I may wait though until I find one with the cup packs.

Buy a Phase 1 and pocket the change for beer and hookers.

As much fun can be had and lets face it, everyones loves teh' naked ladies

 

[.Simon]

Sorry, I'm really going to embarass myself here I guess but . . .

Is the Phase 1 a 172?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

It is mate

 

[Kris86]

mate thats too much for an 04 plate 182.

Mines blackgold both cup packs,miltek,itg filter,40k,multi change,spare wheel,had the big £600 service done with cam&aux belt done and it'll be worth 5k max id say :S

 

[simonwwfc]

cheers for feedback guys im not looking at it now so still chaseing a low millage 182

 

[.Simon]

Ah thought so, I have looked at a few, but really do prefer the 182 for some reason. It's probably those exhausts!
