No mention of belts, body work is good usually means it’s only got dents and scratches on 80% of the panels,

You can’t find a decent one for sub 2k tbh most are chancers and idiots want “swops” as they like spell it

The passenger door need blending into the wing.

Looks like a cut n shut!

Tbf most of them look like that, think it’s the way the light catches the wing at a different angle to the door

But this one pulls like a traaaain

Only good for a track - and £300. Walk away.

looks worth a look to me- maybe say "get the alternator fixed and i will consider the Grand"
88k is fair mileage
MOT is looming, and love to know what the map has achieved
Gearbox needs considering

Only way to find out is to go and see it in the metal. It's surprising how different people are when describing good or average cars. I expect a lot of Trophy's and 172 Cups advertised at £5-6k and £3k respectively are pretty shot (assuming you know what to look for). You can also find bargains like the Impreza I bought from a man who had two of them, and who's wife had told him he had to sell one.

That is true to be fair. Some people don’t honestly know much about cars or there value or just genuinely looking for a quite sale.

It’s the mint like new buyers that concern me

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

People did see the price, aye?

Its one thousand f**king pounds! Jesus wept.

My clio was only £1200.

Cheaps

And if like you someone is able to see past the cosmetic faults and find a decent car beneath them it's a good buy. Apart from mods what's it cost you to replace the shabby bits?

If you're looking for a track car or something to rag about in for fun then a £1000 182 is a decent buy imo. If it goes pop you'll still get your money back in parts.

Bought my 172 for £550- and love it. 83k miles.
Spent £1500 on tyres, wheels, brakes, engine bits, roll cage, stickers (To cover the paint) a few repairs and oil changes, sub frames, bucket seats new, new battery, ICV, Throttle body etc etc- the hobby continues
Track car, being used to help out as a daily too
Its certainly no beauty but i love it

It's hard to say. I think it's often best going in cheap, and then getting everything sorted yourself, so you know it's done right! I had the belts and water pump done, so that was £650, bonnet was £50. Probably talking £2k without modifications, which isn't bad. But the mod addiction always hits hard. :weary::smile:

Cosmetically there wasn't tooo much wrong. Dented doors and quarter panels aren't as easy to rectify but thankfully mine were all mint. I think if looking for a cheap 182, get one that has parts that are easily replaced/cheap, and one that requires belts.
