How do! Im on the look for a 172 Cup currently drive a 3.2 v6 Veccy but want something abit more raw.

A question i would like to ask is: Is mileage a big problem?? as i've spotted an 03 thats done 60k+ but just had a £1500 service done.

I assume thats the cambelt etc??

Cheers guys

Welcome.

Servicing is every 12K, aux belt every 36K or 3 years, cambelt 72K or 5 years.

Most of the 172Cups are around 5 or 6 years old, so may well have been cambelt done.

The Cups are very easy to drive a lot, so some will have a lot more mileage than others.

I found what i thought to be a Cup, had one of you guys check it for me and turns out its not with the spec it has but... when i search for insurance i put the reg in and comes up with a 172 Cup??

 

[Mr Burns]

If you can post a pic of it we'll soon tell you!

 

[B00mer]

Well i ran it past Donny and he gave me a link to the spec of the cup etc and he was correct in saying it wasn't a cup but for some reason a reg search says its a Cup on insurance sites.

[Mr Burns]

It's not a Cup mate, Donny's right.

 

[B00mer]

Really like that blue though, but fancy a cup...

 

[Don]

The Cups only came in 2 colours, Mondiale Blue (most common) and Iceburg silver (only about 90 made IIRC).

It all depends on what extras you want, as although the Cup is 89Kgs lighter than the 172, you wouldn't really notice it in the real world.

There is a couple of weeks in the year where climate control is a benefit. But you will open a can of worms on that one.

I had my Cup for just over 5 years, mine was a quick one :evil: :race: so I've got a fair idea about them

If its down on DVLA as a Cup, then someone's messed up. It does happen from time to time as my old Peugeot was down as a 1.4 with a 1.6 engine!
