Bad time to sell??

[DB.]

I just traded my 182 in.

£3700
50000 Miles
2005 plate
Racing Blue
Belts done
FSH, 4 months MOT

Probably could have got more for it, but I doubt much more, and it would have taken a while in this market with the Clio 197's becoming so cheap now. Very happy with the new motor being delivered Saturday though!

No retro fitting, straight swap. Couple of screw and plugs job done.

To me that seems very reasonable, better than this dreamer....

£7k for a 182.................... LY doesn't make it worth that much.

I had a little lol at that!

The for sale section of this forum seems to be either too expensive or too cheap!

£7K?!? That's 197 money, isn't it?

You wait........

Final drop £6500 it's got to go.

It's going on ebay......

Guy's there are V6's going for that now......... The world has changed. Money was cheap and things went mad, Now it's harder to come by, everyone is spending wisely.

 

[DB.]

Clio 197 prices dropping, as well as Clio 200 prices dropping a little bit with a few being a bit older now
Clio 182s are now around 6 years old minimum
Mileage going the wrong side of 30-40k
Car designed pretty much in the 90's, as opposed to many more modern cars

How people can expect to get the same money as a few years back is beyond me!

Sold my Arctic a few months back for £3500. Was only advertised on here less than a week.

It was a nice example though lol

 

[easty-5]

Well if anybody wants to sell a great 182 for circa 3500 give me a shout

 

[Jamie16v]

Still selling?

Just stuck a years ticket/tax and insurance on it mate so planning on keeping it for another year

 

[DB.]

You can sell tax when you sell your car you know, it's not a reason to keep it!

Parkers show that a good example of a 172 Cup will cost £2,100. I've been to see five and they all required quite a lot of work. They were all over £2,700. Right car + right price = me buying it. Basically the rules to follow to sell a car easily are that it should be standard, be clean and tidy with nothing for the buyer to fix, have an up to date service history, a full MOT and have some tax. If it doesn't have all of this, wait for a long time.

A Porsche 954? A Williams 1? My 172 Ph1, well ok then I'll stop there.

I dont think that applies to 8 year old French hot hatches. There are some that are in this category but you should expect to pay a premium for them. Parkers price guides are a load of s**t anyway.

Couldn't agree more unless you buy something limited edition near enough new and keep it perfect for 10 years at least!

I've never made money on a car yet.

 

[Dom122001]

Jamie 16v I agree, there are always going to be exceptions to the rule.

My car has went up in value. Bought for £4800 offered 6k for it 2 months ago from someone who knows the car.

Tbf Frp prices are all over the place... 4k - 10k!
