Anyone know about C172 CUP

[davyboy]

Spoke to the dealer today - but would not do the car for better than £10999.

I guess he will be keeping a bit longer then.

Great number plate, but seems a little high price wise, werent the last few new ones going for around that or less?

 

[hendry]

price too high

 

[davyboy]

We paid 10650 for our cup with 39 miles, climate and 6 months tax - before it got stolen.

I would pay £10k for that car, I may give another few hundred quid for the plate.

In fact, if someone wants the plate, I will buy the car

 

[blink172]

Think the price probably reflects the plate. I bet the dealer hopes a young buyer comes along thing wow look at the plate ill take the car for the full price please

 

[davyboy]

Didnt bank on a 32 year old duffer who is as tight as ass holes then

[davyboy]

Thats where I saw it first.

I might put a bid on anyway.

 

[Brazo]

How much do you want for the plate?

 

[davyboy]

at present £999.

I value the car at £10k

 

[D-CUP]

The plate is worth no more than £250.

 

[blink172]

Its good how ebay says 1 owner and their own site says 2.

Dave,

You found one. If I were you, Id have a chat with the former owner and find out why it got traded with 1000mi. on the clock. You may be pleasantly surprised to find an old biddy who just didnt like the ride or something like that.

The two owner thing could be that it was a pre registered car. Check that out as well. It is highly unlikely there were two real owners.

And by all means get a good panel beater to look it over for any previous damage.

I think the car offers great value as you need the A/C. Just beat them down a little bit more, cash talks, and flog the plate.

See you at the ring. In a blue car hopefully.

£11K is a bit steep for it, you can get a 182 with less miles on it for about £12.2K...although thats without the cup options, etc.,

Bit sneaky though, but leave the auction to finish, can guarantee if they dont get 11K, then theyll just tell auction winner that its sold. Then offer them the price that ebay ended at, and maybe 100 more and see if they accept.

 

[Doc]

the plate is worth well over 250 heh.. that was on newreg.co.uk for £3995 2 weeks ago. i saw it when looking for mine.. oood a bit at it then went on and chose a 250 quid one which was bought for my bday

Have a deal sorted on a brand new 182 withcup packs to be delivered the week before our next ring trip.....and we have also been out in a nice test drive in a brand new Civic Type R too!

[grumble grumble money!]

Dave

 

[Eddd]

Cool. Youll have it well broken in by the time you reach Nürburg.

Funny thing about the type R, they seem pretty well matched to the Clio in terms of performance. I do like the seats though!

Brand new Cup (pre reg) at Renault Leicester is now down to £10480 with 30 delivery miles on it - probably get it for 10K with a bit of a haggle.

Get a different cup plate for 250 and youre laughing

 

[jonnyboy]

that plates not a £250 quidder it was auctioned with a reserve of £500 a few months ago. You cant pick "172" on dvlas make a plate thingy

 

[davyboy]

Fairly close to doing a deal!

See if I can squeeze a few more quid out of them yet!

 

[swelch]

1000 miles and 2 owners. Sounds a bit wrong or itis a miss print and could be an ex demo car.

 

[davyboy]

Mistake - its a 1 owner.

hehe - I went and asked them about that - the bloke I spoke to said that he had a special offer on and the price of those Cups were 9,959 (or something similar - cant remember now). That was about a month ago!

 

[Sm00thie]

That plate obviously is only worth something to Cup owners... but it is worth far more than £250. I would give near the £999 mark for it, and Im sure it would sell in excess of £1500. You want a plate that means something to a lot of people these days... your looking at around £500 and upwards. Want a plate that means only something to yourself like X55 PJM (Paul John Marshall - for example) it will cost £250-£500.

 

[davyboy]

I think if we get the car the plate will be for sale.

 

[Eddd]

So, you are back on the Cup?

Ed

 

[davyboy]

I had given up hope of finding a newish one with a/c.

If we can get this for a good price, I rather fancy an extra trip to the ring!

 

[Eddd]

Good luck. I need another Cup to play with.
