Rubbish.
You will need to keep the thing serviced, and up together. Both of which will out weigh the overall increase in resale value.
The key phrase here is mass produced. Theres hundreds of the fcuking things.
Right now theres a very very nice one thats been well modified and its newer and cheaper than some bloke selling his standard 182 CUP! Now if you can honestly tell me thats a wise investment, you need your head read.

I actually can't believe the price. FFS if I had the cash I'd be buying that today.
I stand corrected it seems.
That's a good shout mate!

Probably because of the modifications do you think?

Yup, no Sachs = no Trophy ...
To be fair, if I was to get a Trophy it would be one totally standard (bar an exhaust)

Shut up you mong. I'd buy the car due to it being a bargain IMO
However if I was in the market, for specifically a Trophy, I would have more money to spend, hence looking for a low mileage, un-touched one.

I think Trophy prices will level out and always command a premium (Over other RS Clio's) - but it doesn't have the cult status and following of say, the Williams - that is, they certainly won't appreciate. With the Williams there were only 2 sports models - Williams, which there were approx 1,000 (330 or so of each run, 1,2,3) and the valvers & neither were mass produced (Most have now rusted away or been wrote off) and both rated as a true great drivers cars (1*2, better cars, not better drivers cars), I think the only Clio which will go up, and has done to some extent are the Williams.
The newer RS Clio's there is the 172, 172 Exclusive, 172 ph2, 172 Cup, 182, 182 with Cup packs, 182 Cup, 182 Trophy - aside from the original 172 ph1's, those other 6 variants are almost identical bar wheels, seats, exhausts (I'm sure there are more differences, but please, don't be too pedantic) - neither is any quicker than the other - where there is soo much choice and lack of differentiation, prices are only going one way and I deffo think of late they have fallen.
The reason that no one wants that Trophy is is the suspension - if it put the sach's back on it would sell.
I also think a reasonable priced Trophy is now 'about' £6k. I think if you're not using it much, in a couple of years and it's mint, it will be worth about £5k - I can't personally see it becoming a 'collectors' car, but think prices will stay a little more afloat and if you're not modding it, or doing 50,000 miles a week in it, they won't come down too much.
I had agreed a price of £6,400 with mine recently, from purchase I have spent a good few k on it, but it only cost me £6,700 two years ago - that's pretty good and I hadn't lost too much, but I decided to keep it - as I'm a bit annoying and can never make up my mind.
Bit of a rambling post - sorry.

Re: Selling slow??
If you price it competitively enough it should sell, they seem to be going for peanuts these days unfortunately.

5 year life I think so nly a year off new belts. Price it well and it'll sell. My 172 ph2 flew out because I priced it well I think.
See I have a 52 plate 172 in flame red, also in immaculate condition with no mods apart from S/S exhaust and 67k on the clock and I would expect to get £2,000 - £2,200 for it. To me thats a good price.

It wouldnt sell at that price..

That's playing a dangerous game. Not much point in people giving you a value if they are not going to buy it!
How long has it been for sale?
It may be that the colour or spec (I know it's a limited ed) could be an acquired taste. It's an unusual colour and most people at this price point will tend to opt for a Cup for hero status or the ubiquitous silver phase 1, of which there are more around.
The price issue that people are raising is not entirely correct (i.e. that it must be priced wrong). You may reduce the price and still not get a call yet you may leave the price and someone who wants an Exclusive calls you in 4 weeks and agrees close to asking price. How low will you go?
Equally, someone who wanted it and thought it was expensive may well say to you, I would only want to pay £X because .....
The market for most cars is shocking at the moment. Given the state the world is in at the moment, my advice to most people would be if your car works, extract some value from it by using it for as long as you can and save a lot of money in the meantime. You may need it.
I have been looking for almost 2 weeks for a 182 and I cannot find any well priced, decent ones for sale. I have budgeted around £3500-£3750 for one which I think should get me a half decent one. I am looking for one that is reasonably standard bar the exhaust and the belts have been done. I thought I'd find one easily. How wrong could I be...

Doesnt help that you're in Aberdeen mate. They are loads about in your price range just depends how far you'll travell.
172
£2.2k will get you a newer PH2 with similar or no miles.
As a general rule of thumb, to save messing about, I usually try to price cars I sell less than the next man. For example, last time I sold a car it was my old CTR. Looked on all the usual sites and put it at a sniff less than the most of the 'competitors'. Not enough to cut my throat but enough to stand out. Sold it in 2 days.
Easier said than done when you are looking for top dollar, but top dollar doesnt sell and while its standing on your drive, its dead money.

Agree with this. This is my personal approach.
However, if somebody wanted what he is selling, they would presumably ring and say "I would only be willing to pay £X because .."
I have done that when I think it can be justified. It may be that no-one wants that car in the time it's been for sale. Dropping the price might not necessarily change that.

When I was younger, I did used to take haggle money into account and price accordingly. Autotrader price and the price you are prepared to sell it for. I just find its easier to put the latter price in straight from the get go now.
I think a high starting price does put people off phoning to make an offer, to some extent. Except the cheeky gits who ring and offer sub-we buy any car money.

Is this over priced?

How much do cup spoilers and splitters go for and how hard/easy are they to retro fit?

No retro fitting, straight swap. Couple of screw and plugs job done.
To me that seems very reasonable, better than this dreamer....
