DC5 Owner Looking For 182 Cup

[LiamGTR]

Hi all,

Long story short is I'm selling my DC5 in April as I'm going to College in Sept with a guaranteed place at Work/Uni in 2015 and will be dropping to part-time employment soon so I need to free up some money so looking to replace the DC5 with a 182 Cup.

I've had a look on the usual sites and the going rate seems to be anything from £2,500 to £3,000.. is this about right?

Is there anything I should look out for when viewing these cars?
Ideally want one for under £3k with limited/no mods, under 70k (high hopes I know..) and in orange or black.

Speak soon,
Liam.

You can't get a cup in black, just racing blue and inferno orange.

you can get the cup suspension and spoiler on the standard 182s. People see these as better for dailys. These are referred to as 'full fat' on here.

belts should be done every 5 years or 72k. Check of full service history.

a quick way to check for a resprayed front end is bonnet panel gaps and the lack of black tabs on the front bumper (I'll try and find pics)

youll be be able to find a decent one for £3kish but don't let mileage put you off its got a good service history

Yea I seen that. If it's still for sale in April with a price drop, I may be interested.

Thanks for the heads up I did wonder what full-fat meant on some of the listings. I agree mileagie isn't everything, my DC5 is on 96k and you wouldn't know.

its nothing official, it's just something that the forums use to differentiate between the standard car, the standard car with options and a cup.

the clio 197 forum use ff to talk about the standard car with no options to confuse things even more lol.

I don't want to waste yours or the owners time as I'm not looking to buy just now but will keep checking back.

Any considerable differences from the 182 to the 172, eitheri n cup or non-cup spec? They seem to be around £1,000 cheaper give or take?

If this is a money saving exercise, just get a 172. Cup unless you plan on changing/upgrading suspension.

There's no real difference between them in my experience.

182 comes in better colours and has more poo shoots.

if you do get a cup, get a 172 cup. The 182 cups were half arsed.

How much would you want for the dc5? is more of a question haha
