Clio 182 values

[bluesntwos]

Is it me or have Clio 182 values plummeted recently? I have been trying to sell mine for a few weeks and not a sniff!

 

[MillerLight]

its because the 197 been out for a while now so are getting more afordable. i'd have thought most are trying to "strech" and go for a 197 than a late 182. imo

but i dont know what year you 182 is so thats just my guess at why

 

[bluesntwos]

Mine's 04-54 with cup suspension/alloys. 61k FSH. Asking £5,750 but no takers. Is that too dear?

 

[DrR]

Cheap as chips i'd say! Post up the advert?

I'd say that was slightly too high. The markets slow, and it's only worth what someone will pay for it.

 

[bluesntwos]

It's on Pistonheads but can't do it on here I don't think coz not a full member. I have been looking around Autotrader and the like and have seen them as cheap as £5000. Some are cheaper than mine even with less miles! Trade/auction price is £5300 so want more than that! Are some people selling them too cheap or do you reckon they are wrecks at that price?

 

[Beef-Mc]

As above, 197 prices are pushing eveything down.

The way things are going, most mint 182's with low mileage are struggling to go for 7K.

 

[Paul.]

im paying 8.5k for my 182

 

[weggy71]

I've been told that the used market is full of 182's and that is one of the reasons why the market is going down fast. ots have been part ex'd for the 197, especially with the 0% finance.
It is a buyers market for a used one.

 

[Clioman51]

It's a shame all the clio sports are become so cheap I bought my 172 with 60k on for £6k just over a year ago and that was the cheapest one i'd seen near me! now its worth about £3k as its got 82k miles how anoying!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Someone will buy it mate, after all it only takes 1 person!

 

[ForceIndia]

I don't think Trophy prices are helping either, dipping below 8k now. For most people, the extra 1-1.5k is easily worth it.

 

[scott7912]

I only got £6000 for my FF182 about 1 year ago, just recently payed £8000 for a Trophy.

 

[-Leigh-]

It's life I'm afraid. Prices drop.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

There was a trophy in auto trader not so long ago, 18k on for £8600. Bargain!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Good price for buying that ^^^

 

[Ja5on]

I been trying to sell mine, 55reg 34k warranty till Nov for 7.5k no takers

But I reckon its down to the trophies, your getting more for you money.

 

[Alan]

Jas you'd easily get 8k from a dealer for it mate...

 

[Ja5on]

Jas you'd easily get 8k from a dealer for it mate...

ehhhhhhh!?!?!?! how you mean get them to sell it for me?

 

[Alan]

Yeah they sell it for you, as in you give it to them for a set period of time, 7/14 days or whatever, they give you a figure for it, they offer you 8k for it but they'll have it out for around £8800 or the likes, if they sell it for £8600, they've made £600 for doing bugger all..

Iain did this with the silver 182 he had with Parks Renault near me..fair enough they never sold the car as he sold it on here but its worth a try mate..

 

[UnderSteerDan]

Ive had my 33k 05 Cup up for £6500 and ive had very little serious interest!

It must be the cheapest around. Maybe its scaring people off but its an excellent example.

Still, its just as well im not too eager to sell it! A friend of mine sold his 45k 04 182 for £5300 yesterday and that took a while!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Dealer was offering 8K for a 36K Trophy.

This is quite a common problem, selling it for "not enough" scares people, they sumtimes think "whys it so cheap bla bla"

Find out what the rest are selling for then undercut them by £250-500

Somtimes a car can be priced too cheaply!

I think youre right.

Id let it go should someone offer me the money but in all honesty i dont really want to sell it!

Its only for sale due to the mileage i cover but if i have to drive 90 miles a day, theres not much id rather do it in! Still, sometimes the head must rule over the heart!

Thats dirt cheap. Someone got a serious bargain, cup packs?
It's also the time when a lot of cars are coming out of warranty, makes a lot of people sell up.

Definition of a genius? Extended Warranty on a Clio lol

It was one of the few that had neither cup packs. It was still a lovely car though.
He wanted to sell it quickly as he bought it as a favour off a friend of ours who is going away travelling.

Hmm, dirt cheap? Mines 54 plated, black which I'm lead to believe is a desired colour and has the cup suspension and alloys yet no takers and is not much more money. So it's got 20k more on the clock but still...

 

[Gumby]

It's not just 197's or 182 saturation pushing the prices down. Due to the current state of the world economy, financial institutions are less willing to loan money. This has the knock on effect of people being less willing to spend money. When people aren't spending money, prices go down.

That's life I'm afraid.

 

[Paul.]

im paying 8.5k for my 182

Gold plated? 06 plate with recaros and 10miles on the clock? would have to be at that price

hmmmm i think it may be a bit much. its a 54plate LY with both cup packs. Condition inside and out is immaculate with 25k on the clock. maybe 8k would be more realistic?

 

[Ja5on]

maybe see if th stealer would sell it then

Lot of miles on a clio, given the other cars available at that price.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Price of petrol will be slowing the market in high performance cars as well.

 

[MarkRS]

If the car is a rare combination or really low miles or even just really clean like Rich's, then you can still get top money.. just most people say theirs is mint but in reality they are pretty poor so they dont get shifted.
I had to look at loads of 'mint' 182 until i bought a mint one 6 months ago.
My Bro works at a main renault dealer and just two months ago they shifted a silver 55 with 9000 miles for over £10k but it was completely perfect(expensive yes) i think it helped they had some really really bad ones too for not alot less lol

 

[Steve]

I never advertise a car as 'mint', normally VGC that way when the purchaser arrives thinking it's going to be as described they are supprised

Last 5 cars i have sold all sold to first to view.

Too many time wasters not advertising accurate. We have all been there, had a day out to veiw a car arrived, one quick look & back home, Gutted!!!!!!!!!

 

[Craigie-B15]

you all know that apart from computer, cars are the worst investment.

Good news for me as I will be looking to get a 172 or a 182 when im a bit older, could get one cheap now

 

[bluesntwos]

I might just stick it in my Dad's garage for 20-25 years. Bring it out then, and people will be re-discovering the "old-skool" 182! Mine will be low mileage then!!!

7.5k tops imo since its liquid, trade in the same car and you will be lucky to be offered 6.5k. Do your research if you havn't bought it yet!

yea i see your point
