I'll be selling mine shortly (from next week) - it's a 2004 182 with cup packs. Essentially that means it has all the toys (cruise control/climate control/electirc window mirrors/xenon headlight etc...but it has a better spolier then the non-cup, also has a splitter, and lower suspension.
Mine is going to be 5300....just waiting to get some standard wheels on it next week. Link to pistonheads advert which I have literally just updated is:
http://pistonheads.com/sales/791288.htm
Done about 42500 miles, has full renault service history, long mot, and tax until end of Jan '09...don't think there is much cheaper for this money - I paid 6500 for it 11 months ago!

very good price
I agree a good price there although ive seen a similar priced one not full fat but only done 30kish in autotrader...ive heard aswell the cambelt needs changing somewhere along the line, so if i buy one now i dont expect a few months down the line 2 change it.
btw here is the link to the one in autotrader let me know your thoughts

That is quite cheap...but that's because it is a cup. Difference is you don't get climate control, xenon headlights, leather/alcantara seats (get cheap spec cloth ones), a rear bench all in one with no split/folding rear seats, no rear headrests. Not sure if you get abs/traction control - think you do in a 182 cup, whereas you don't in a 172 cup.

but all that extra stuff just ads weight so it depends what your goin to use the car for, if you do alot of miles and like comfort, go for a ff cup, if your goin to use a 182 what its really for i.e the track then i would go for that autotrader 182 cup my trophy hasnt got climate control and xenons but it dosent bother me alot less to go wrong if you ask me

well they need them done around 40000miles or so and it has to be done or the belt will stap over time and thats a new engine
they are a big job and can cost up to 400quid to have done so go for one thats had it done and make sure you see the reciepts for the work too
Tiger R6 / Saxo Vts
Your only saying that because you haven't got it in your Trophy lol. The 182 cup only saves 20kgs over the 182 ff...and that is only a quarter of my weight at about 13.5 stone lol!
That isn't going to notice. You could have stuff in your boot that weighs that...and I'd take xenon's/having a proper back seat/having leather and alcantara seats for that weight gain.

The cambelt should be done around 60k miles or 5 years old I thought? Mine will be due it about halfway through next year....if you go to a specialist it should be about 450 quid.
Clio 172 Flamer
thats true but i wouldnt change the trophy for nothing tho
Clio 172 Flamer
wow i thought it was around the 45k mark ha that leave me with 25k before mine needs doing
Tiger R6 / Saxo Vts
check the handbook - I'm sure it's later then 40k odd miles....
Clio 172 Flamer
im going to lol
Clio 172 Flamer
just have a good look on pistonheads.com im sure ther will be one for you on ther, but i realy like that blue cup,
and you can always buy second hand ff seats and stick them in down the line

But then a cambelt is only 450 ish, how much would it cost for 182 ff seats/climate control/xenons.....a lot more then 450 I'd imagine.
But you pays your money and takes you choice. Everyone wants something different.

Welcome mate
Just had a quick look at that advert. The car seems to have a few dents over a few panels but other than that it looks clean. Has the aux belt been changed? I think I am right in saying that the aux belt needs to be changed every 36k/3yrs and then again at 72k/5yrs along with the cambelt. The pics of the service book only shows the same garage doing the work and just ticking air filter on everyone???? 58K miles on the clock?......am I looking at the right advert lol

Welcome to the forum.
I personally think you'll be lucky to find a 182 where the belt has been done, as they are due at 5 years and 182's are just coming up to 5 year old now. It's something that will have to be done and depending on where you live there might be a specialist nearby that can do it at a decent price.
I would say don't let it put you off getting one, you'l love it!

Surely it should have had the aux belt done though as that's to be done at 36k?
