Clio’s becoming cheaper than ever

[_Tom]

Just been looking on Autotrader and a few months ago a decent phase 2 Valver was around the 2.2k mark. Now they all seem to be under 2k.

Willys were about 4k for a decent one and now there around the 3k region

Mk1 172s you can pick up for 6k and i can see them being in the 5k region soon. Even Mk2s are getting cheaper and cheaper!

Its commonly refered to as depreciation..

 

[_Tom]

Yes but they seem to have depreciated silly amounts in a short amount of time

 

[DAVE_RSi]

its very true

just look at the 172 owners struggling to sell their cars, not gd is it

This does not bother me im going to keep my 182 for at least 5 years. then hopefully the prices will be stable

yeah, on the floor, but stable... lol

I was amazed that the insurance company didnt want to spend more than £650 on fixing my door - the bloke was implying that it was getting close to the "60% of the cars value and we write it off" rule!! (or whatever percentage they use...)

 

[bsimmer3000]

it aint just clios that are looseing silly money i have noticed that nearly all cars are all doing the same. even the mini which was never ment to loose a £1 in 3 yrs lol. well thats what my mate thought lol

If you think thats bad, M3 CSL owners are ready to hang themselves. Some paid almost 60k less than a year ago and are now being offered low 30s to p/x at BMW main dealers.

I dont mind, I got a good deal on a mk1 172 in Feb, havent seen one in that good condition and milage for the same price.

Although have seen a silver one with 60k on the clock for 4995.
