Are Phs 1 172s....

[fraz101]

Becoming rare yet?

I bought mine in 2003 with 59k on it, had it just over 10 years and has now done 93k.

I never have spotted many others around where i live but as with any model,the older they get the less you see about?

Do they make decent money for decent ones?

 

[Djw John]

There's loads around here mate! Good ones are getting tricky to find but there's still quite a few about.

 

[fraz101]

Not many red ones thats for sure!

How long have you had yours? Is it in "exclusive"?

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Not worth much at all. An enthusiast might pay a bit more for a mint one but I wouldn't say there's a market for them.

Cheers for reply, i'm just curious really, no plans to get rid of it....

 

[Djw John]

Na exclusive is scarab green, 172 of them originally. Cousin has one though! What colour is yours? Whereabouts is it you stay?

 

[fraz101]

I'm in Stirling bud, mines is Silver, 2000 on an X plate

 

[Djw John]

Cool, will keep an eye out. Not many on x plates. Djw Dave has one as well though!

 

[arg_carra]

I also have a "red one".
Can still pick one up quite cheap, mint ones with low mileage tend to get a bit more money. Goes for every car I guess.
They are getting a bit rarer now though.

 

[Djw Dave]

I have a silver one on a W plate.

 

[leew88]

im keeping my good eye open for a ph1 dispite having a phase 2 and a cup-says something really>seemingly more sort after than a phase 2

 

[Mar172]

I have a blue one on a x plate

 

[Djw John]

I have a silver one on a W plate.

You know we have problems when even I'm getting confused!

 

[Brett]

I really want another at some point. Having owned a ph1 and a 182 I feel that the 182 was a better all round car, but the ph1 always felt more special.

They are becoming a little more rare though, the early ones like I had are now over 13 years old. Fortunately they don't seem to rust but still as cars get older people won't bother doing a £500 cambelt service on a £1200 car, likewise if the gearbox goes or something.

We have a W reg silver Ph1 , Pretty tidy and only 2 previous owners but as mentioned above with the bits that I have replaced and the fact the belts are being done shortly means I have spent more on it than the value of the car.

The wife is the boss though and the main driver and I don't think she will ever sell it. Dont see many on the road around here.

I have a silver one on a W plate.

I've got a black one ;-)

 

[Djw Dave]

I've got a black one ;-)

Swap?

 

[fraz101]

Mine was reg'd on 30/09/2000 so just over 13yrs old, i'm the 2nd owner. No rust really except a bit of bubbling on the inside lips of rear wheel arches.

 

[Stu.]

Mine is Yellow and on an X plate

 

[theduck]

I have a black one on an X plate, its for sale

 

[Timmsy]

Silver on a W plate, registered 28/07/2000

Anyone know the date these first came out?

Edit: dont worry found it.... Launch date Jan 2000

 

[RallyeSportLee]

I am glad they are getting rare...I can see them going up in value for a good one, I get quite a few people asking about mine....Not many in Swindon now!

 

[fraz101]

I have a black one on an X plate, its for sale

Whats it worth?

 

[theduck]

well its for sale at £800, but i'm open to offers

 

[Stu172cup]

If anyone else has noticed the prices of 205 gtis and Renault 5 turboes it might be worth hiding a few somewhere

 

[.GAZ.]

I have a silver one on a W plate.

Did you buy Lee's, Djw Dave ??

 

[1958steveflying]

I have a W reg silver one and the reg is W172### Well I think that's cool anyway ! !

 

[Jekyll]

Never seen one with ### at the end

 

[1958steveflying]

Ah see I knew it was special.

 

[Knuckles]

I wish i had of done this with my 205 a few years back. Sold it for £1700 and it was pretty good condition... same sort of thing now selling for at least £2700

I beg to differ :rasp:

Im constantly seeing 197/200's about, ph2 1*2 are also common around these parts. Just on my 30min drive to work today i saw a white 197, a silver 200 a black 1*2

Only seen 1 other ph1 172 once in the last 2 months.

 

[Coops Mk1]

I see an inferno 182, a silver 197, an RB 200 and an iceberg 172 phase 2 every morning on the way to work, no phase 1's though unless I run into Mark out and about in his titanium.

 

[Djw Dave]

Did you buy Lee's, @Djw Dave ??

Sure did bud. Took me a while to get him then bit his hand off. Cracking guy is oor lee.

Yeah i agree, mines is the only phs1 172 around my area, but loads of 182s,197s,200s etc.

 

[Norris1]

Yep so annoying when I walk outside my house and see both of my titanium ph1's, 5 mins into my drive to work and I go past another one!! Common as muck in these parts

I helped you sell it, I helped you buy it back. I'm due a McDonalds LOL!!

I'll get you a bag of Grapes, wouldnt want to mess up that diet.

 

[.GAZ.]

No longer a diet, I'm a fitness machine!!

 

[James23]

Ive only ever seen one other phase 1 on the roads around me but theyre definitely not rare yet! Loads on here and they can be had for very cheap. The numbers will start to dwindle when the non hardcore enthusiasts scrap them when they need a repair or some maintenance which is equal to or greater than the value of the car. I keep spending money on mine though so it'll be with me for a while yet. Bloody moneypit!
