Clio 172 Prices

[Lagerlout]

I was just thinking about values and supply and demand etc after reading about 172 prices. And I'm bored waiting for the pub to open again.lol.

The Clio's are quite a sought after car (hence why the Mk1 172 prices have steadied a little) thanks in no small part to excellent magazine reviews wherever they were tested. It's hard to find a review on any of the Renaultsport Clios that isn't complimentary.

Anyway, what got me thinking was that when people on here ask how much thier car is worth, people always reply with the answer for the bottom book or at least lower than the seller had hoped. Usually they say the price they would pay for it, not what they think you ought to get ( OK so the residuals are still sh*t, but bear with me).

I was wondering if there were enough owners on here to actually effect the market price of the cars?

There were'nt that many made - about 1351 mk1's (compared to 2390 Cups and 3048 mk2 172's) - so this site has quite a large 'market share' if you will.

Sounds daft, but I want 8k for my 172 and need your help. LOL.

why are you selling? interesting thread though, personally, my 172 is worth 13k to me, because it is like new, has no dents, has been in no accidents, had no damage, been serviced very, very well and I love it as much as i did when I first bought it, nothing else in the market compares to it IMHO. The only reason I would ever sell it is if my circumstances change and I need more space, or if I had more money and could afford to keep my house and get a V6 255.

I might be selling to put a towards a deposit on a house. I have 12k set aside, but I bought my 172 outright, so essentially have 8k (ish) tied up in it.

I can run a banger for a few months and when I'm back on my feet buy another new one.

Have you no other way of getting the money for the deposit, i think that you'll regret it if you sell it.
