Yo!
I'm saving the pennies to swap the 16v over for a 172 as I need something more reliable that won't need something fixing every month or two. What do you reckon is the best age to buy one money wise? I've been looking at spending about 5k which should get me one from about 2001 at a push I think but wondering whether to wait a bit to save a bit more and get something newer. I'll be keeping it for 2 or 3 years so don't mind paying if it'll give trouble free(ish) motoring. Might also be worth waiting for the newer model in case prices slump a little bit.
Cmon, loads of you have bought 172 now and you must have an idea of when you think you get best value for money. This is gonna be my first car bought for the long term so want to get it right.
