[Knuckles]

1 Lady owner from new

​so the clutch is f**ked?


...

New gear-box and clutch.

lol

 

[Lal B3N]

Wow, quite a bargain. Looks to be in pretty good condition even in the photos.

 

[banther]

Yeah... was hesitant to share it!!! haha.

Hate it when adverts come across aggressive.... No Offers. Dont even try.

Shut up you c*nt

 

[Knuckles]

Flol +1

the pov spec ones are going scarily cheap now

 

[Chrisgti6]

No mention of the mileage? also I suspect it will need the belts doing etc.

I'd budget 1k+ to get it into tip-top condition. Still a good price after that though.

My thoughts exactly.... after that its still 4.5k. Worth a punt... if i hadnt just bought my Cup. Probs would have gone for this.

 

[Paddy_g46]

mileage?

 

[Chi]

Looks like a steal, well specced.. 61k no service history.. Apparently a mate did belts and pump HMMMM

​Yeah for safety's sake you would get those done ... budget circa.£1000 on top and you have a minter for 4500. Deal!!

 

[banther]

Update... kangoosport is going for it apparently

 

[banther]

Spoke with them. Would take £3100 for it. 61k miles. I've just been on the phone to the bank, might purchase it, put new belts on etc, detail it then flog it on autotrader for a profit.

​Is that unethical?

Not at all, but no service history might cause you a few issues selling?

 

[jon_r]

Bargain. Somebody buy it before I do.

Well most of that could be negated with a good few years keep under the current owner?

 

[banther]

I'm going for £2800 cash, today.

​Hugely cheeky

 

[Alex5]

looks very bland as it is but great price!

 

[banther]

looks very bland as it is but great price!

Agreed...for that price though!! You could do so much with it and still make / not lose any money with the sale.

As a side note... anyone want a 172 cup?!

 

[lemonnobby]

I could have had it 3 weeks ago. but no history etc no thanks i bet its a second box.

​Oh, howd you mean?

 

[lemonnobby]

Has he got proof of new box and clutch. etc.

 

[Jack!]

It's definitely cheap, but early 197's are cheap now anyway. If you got it for 2800 cash then fair play, but if you got it for 3200 as they've suggested, then spend 1k getting it right for sale then that'll be 4.2k spent. A quick gander on AT, PH and the like would suggest you can actually pick up a pretty tidy early 197 with FSH and similar perhaps even slightly lower milage than the one you're looking at for around 5k. Given you'd be selling with no service history, then expect to sell it a fair few hundred below the market rate for one with FSH. Maybe there's 500 quid in it, but by the time you take the time, pay fee's and the like...

 

[Chi]

He hasnt got anything, hes a trader I think.. only got one car though lol..

 

[Carbon maniac]

anyone done a hpi on it??

 

[banther]

Yeah I'm bailing on this one. They're a little bit desperate sounding!!!

 

[Bobby.]

What information exactly have they gave you?

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

HPI Clear? has anyone looked at that lol.

 

[lemonnobby]

He hasnt got anything, hes a trader I think.. only got one car though lol..

Car is worthless really it would be ok if you could go there and see it had a new box. and i mean new and second hand.

 

[Wayne-G]

Saw this on Gumtree the other day at £3999, dropped it a fair whack! Must of taken it in for absolute peanuts to sell it that cheap. Someone needs to go and investigate the cheapness, would be ideal for a track car or to sell on.

 

[peanuthead]

Going by the mark on the front bumper I believe I saw this car today. If so it had a bloke driving it not a lady, plus the aux belt was pretty noisy. Anyone know where this is located?

 

[R-Sport.]

Pile of dogsh*te.

 

[Georgeandpeppa]

Pile of dogsh*te.

This! I went to have a look to, Wouldnt waste yor time unless you want it for the track maybe.

 

[jesus]

Perfect for a 225 conversion?

 

[Georgeandpeppa]

Paint was poor, I had a paint depth gauge with me, boot, passenger rear side, front bumper had seen painting, very poor painting.

 

[daveski]

Took a paint gauge to view a bottom of the market car? Its hardly going to be a minter at that price!

 

[jesus]

What else was wrong?

Ive got it so may as well take it with me no?, Some painters can paint very well.

 

[Georgeandpeppa]

Slight oil leak, could have been from the sump washer. Small hole in the passenger seat, small details but made it look unloved.

Just seemed a bit odd I guess. Can see the point if its a classic or something but this is a 197 cheaper than some 182s, if it was mint it wouldn't be £3495.
