Evo mag 182 dilemma!

[NickM5c]

So i have read the review the 182 got in evo and now i am quite seriously thinking of getting one. How much do you think i would get part ex for my 172? Its on an 03 plate with 4500 miles. The only thing is i got it from a car supermarket so i would imagine i wont get as good a price as if i had bought it from renault. Any thoughts?

 

[Ben H]

About £10k.

 

[Neil82]

Bend over, lube up and bite on an apple. Its going to hurt

 

[NickM5c]

10k ? Hmm not quite what i was looking for.

 

[RS182]

mine was 03 plate with 12000 miles on it px value £9000 not good

 

[paddymph]

px value on these is a joke really.

PRivate sale?

 

[Neil82]

RS182 what did you pay for your 172? Did you buy it new?

 

[NickM5c]

To be honest i cant be bothered to go through the hassle of a private sale. lazy i know.

 

[Neil82]

If they offered you 9 k id want the 182 for 12500.

 

[RS182]

I paid £13000 brand new from a Renault dealer, had problems with the knocking noises when turning, arqued for 10 months and now i have been given good deal on 182.

 

[NickM5c]

think the only thing to do is to go to renault and see what they say. Should be interesting if nothing else!

 

[RS182]

It was a bit cheaper than £12500, Renault UK and dealer contributed quite a bit with a little from myself.

 

[NickM5c]

So how much should i realistically be looking to get off a new 182 at a dealer? I never was very good at this haggling business.

 

[Neil82]

13000-13500 from a Renault dealer.

 

[RS182]

I dont think you will get it that cheap from a dealer, I know Auto Express say that you shouldnt pay anymore than £13600, so if you have had no problems with your 172, you cant really knock them down that much as i used the problems with mine as my bargaining point as they wouldnt take rejection.

 

[NickM5c]

Sounds a bit more bearable, depends on the part ex i guess. I am going to renault on thursday with my 172 to see what happens.

 

[Neil82]

Nick you not tempted to keep your 172 and get a viper,de-cat, magnex and save yourself lossing thousands the second you drive the 182 off the forecourt and also the money you will have lost on your 172?

 

[Lagerlout]

Neils right mate. I was also looking at chopping mine in for a 182 (only got it in Novenber) but its not just what you can get for your 172, its also the hit you take in buying yet another new car.

I paid £12,500 for my UK 172 from a dealer (through a broker) in November. With 2500 miles on it now, I would expect to get £11,000 for it in a private sale, mainly due to the number of 172s going cheap in the supermarkets.

So thats £1,500 lost on that in two months, plus about the same again as soon as you drive you 182 away fom the garage. I could afford it, as Im sure you probably can, but the question I asked myself is "Do I really want a 182 that much that I am prepared to throw £3000 down the drain??" The answer was a quite obvious "No!!!"

Ultimately its up to you. If want it bad enough then go for it!!!

 

[NickM5c]

Now i dont know what to do!!!

 

[riplash]

Wait and drive one? See if its worth the extra?

 

[NickM5c]

A good point. Trouble is i am crap at waiting! I think it will hinge on what the dealer is prepared to negotiate on, if its not a good deal then i wont bother.

 

[MIKE-CUP]

UK Car Broker are offering UK 182s (probably pre registered, deffo not imports) for £12,300. I got my CUP from them with Climate for £11,750

You would have to get shut of your privately as they dont do trade ins/part ex.

 

[NickM5c]

Would they come with the cup options though? As EVO says there is not much point in getting a 182 without them.

 

[MIKE-CUP]

I dont see why not Nick. Call Kevin Overton @ UK Car Broker on 01332 265894 and find out.

 

[NickM5c]

Cheers Mike. I sent them an email to find out what they say about the cup options and how much they would give me for my 172.

 

[MIKE-CUP]

Nick

They dont take part exs. You will have to sell you car privately.

 

[NickM5c]

b****cks. I just cannot be bothered with the hassle of that really. Oh well back to good old Renault Enfield then!

 

[D-CUP]

Just sell your car to the dealer then and buy a 182 from a broker. Youll still save money as the discount from a Renault dealer wont be more than the difference in the broker price.

Brokers will offer the cup options but I doubt the car supermarkets will offer anything other than the standard model.

lol!!

come down on the first and see mine

 

[NickM5c]

How much did you pay for yours Tom? Did you part ex your 172?

 

[Tom]

No i bought it outright.

i paid enough.

 

[NickM5c]

Come come spill the beans. I just need to know what sort of a figure to aim for with regards to getting a discount from them.

 

[Tom]

i paid a little less than list.

not much but it was ok.

 

[NickM5c]

Dont give much away do you?

its a 1.1 actually and its not a clio.

 

[TheRoninV6]

I contemplated swapping my new 172 for a 182, but then I thought it will be better to wait for the 2005 clio and save myself a few k Hmmmmm Turbo (hopefully)

After all the 172 isnt really much different to the 182 apart from the ugly exhaust and a few minor mods, when evo was refering to the 182 as being the best hot hatch ever i believe they was refering to it as an overall package ie cup handling and speed with the 172 luxuries.

 

[cerbera4.5]

whats the 2005 clio like? any pics? little megane ???...no thanks!!

225 bhp turbo hmmmm big +ve point,throuhg the front wheels though?

wait a year the 182s will dpericiate faster than your mk2 172 thus lowering the gap between them and meaning you pay less to change.

+ the exhausts look a bit crap,why couldnt they make the rear bumper like the v6,i would have probably bought one for that alone!
