been to look at a 182...

[banderson]

just wondering what your opinions are?
Its an 04 arctic 182.
Non cup.
89,703 miles 2 family members from new.
Fully stipped and Rebuilt engine due to cambelt failure.
No M.O.T
No Tax
Requires new wipers
Seats need a clean
Bodywork is mint other than two small dents which i can get done. And wheels are curbed.

Hes had a quick look and said they go for around 3750-4000 with slightly less mile But he said any sensible offer...
What would you offer?

 

[S TAYLOR]

3k IMO but its worth what you want to pay

 

[banderson]

oh its only been garaged for several months due to use of 2 other cars

 

[quik99]

£3500 max, i personally wouldnt pay more in standard form.

There's a reason people sell a car without an MOT...

Avoid.

 

[banderson]

its not dodgy lol hes a friend of my brothers and had no intention of selling it until my brother planted the idea in his head, he was just letting the mileage come down abit as he has another 2 family cars

 

[jenic]

Offer him £2k or £2750 if he sticks a year test on it.

A non cupped high mileage arctic 182 isn't worth a right lot at the best of times.

^^^ Kerching!

not always, i bought mine with a short mot and it flew through

 

[Ben.]

without an MOT i would offer £3k max

 

[Revels]

It's a high mileage car, in a bad colour, with dents, kerbed wheels, no tax, no MOT and it needs new wipers.

I wouldn't pay more than £3k. I'd be offering at least a few hundred less than that TBH.

 

[seb]

plus had a cambelt failure.

suggests to me it hasn't been looked after too well on the servicing side of things... i could be wrong though... but it just smells a bit s**t tbh.

I LOL'd at that!

But as above could end up being a bargain but if its sat for a while not being driven and no MOT chances are could need a fair whack spent on it for the MOT!

And the fact its already had a cambelt failure suggests to me that maybe it hasn't been looked after.

But I could be wrong!
