Clio 182 for around 5.5K is it possible??



J

jc_lfc

Hi,

I'm looking for a clio 182 with both cup packs with less than 50k miles in either blue or black.

I had a budget of 4k for a 172 but decided to put a bit more in and go for a 182 with both packs but only wanna spend 5.5k.

Am i dreaming??

I have a month to find a car, dont really wanna pay anymore

You might be lucky, but scraping the barrel at that price. Better to spend the same getting a mint 172.

Hmm, I bet it's on HPI or there's some story with it. He might just have been lucky but I would bet that car would fetch more at auction.

No cup packs on that, but still a bargain. Was in this situation in Jan, looked at loads. Every low priced 182 was rough (that I found). Ended up going for a late, mint 172. I've had 2 172's, and a 182. Not enough of a difference in handling to justify spending 1k more. Put prolines on mine, 95% of the time it's just as good as 182cup, except on track. For the price of a decent 182, you could get a mint 172, and Recaro's, like I did;). Made the mistake of trying a Trophy, so mine's going soon!!

lol that person was me... fully HPI clear in black... 20k miles, FSH, MOT etc

Its MINT aswell... I was just gonna buy a 172 until I saw it, it was from a garage... they had it on for £5,100, I didnt even try and bargain with him.

It did need taxing like, but still... no scratches or anything

It will be hard to get one, but not impossible

TBF non-cupped 182 is 95% same as 172, so for the money you got a great deal.

Goes without saying that if you do pick one up, we will go on the expectation that its got 55k+?

The cambelt is gonna need done at 68-72k-ish

Thats an expensive one to get handed but then if you get one for 5.5k your still making some saving on the new price 4-5 years ago!

Some are doing well to pick up cars for good money one here. If your not too fussed about mileage that's not a bad thing. I wouldn't touch an 05 reg car on 50k or so though, unless it was pretty cheap.

I'm still a firm believe that you do get what you pay for, if you want mintness you have to pay a bit more for it, that said if the sellers desperate to get rid you can un earth a bargain.

the price of fuel has been widely predicted to hit £1.50 per litre by august...meaning that many people will not be able to run such a car...

people coming off their fixed term low rate mortgages...

the price of food/utility bills going through the roof...

the credit crunch...

the list goes on and on...lol
