zorba how much did your go for in the end ? how many miles etc ? how much do u think i could get one for same cond as urs in march ? est ?
Well i was looking for a long time for mine and i bought it private from a guy just off Junction 10 on the M4 (25 mins drive from me). I really wanted it in Monico blue as you dont see many about and its much the same as the Willy blue. it was a 2002 model UK spec of course
it was in A1 condition but the back 2 tires were dead and it need a service in 4k miles.it had 19k on the clock and he wanted £9,000 for it.
i managed to knock him down alot.......in the end i took it off his hands for £8,300 CASH this was back in Sept 2004.
i sold it in Sept 2005 (12months later) with 30K on the clock for £7,100 (private sale)
regarding you buying one in March i would put something along the lines of 7-8k aside to get a monico blue 172 02/03 reg with around 25-30k on the clock. ofcourse dealers will sell them to you for crazy prices! i would go private if i was you and have a good look around.
hope this helps!? where abouts you based anyway mate???
