Titanium 182
£12,049 for a 182 titanium with all the packs, not friends or family or import.
Neil
mine £12500 when first released
mates £10500 when first released she got f&f discount i didnt
i bought a ringer for £400 it was alrite, Not worth the 10s and 12s you lot are paying
GuyS yes.
The extra £2000 she got off was due to the f&f. she told me that she could have also got me the discount. but i got mine before she told me this.
how great lol
You can get second hand ones for £10k and some for even less. Cocopops has sold his for £9.85k I think.
The dealership you went to has obviuosly had a good month so there not doign any deals give a few other places a call. One of my local dealership gave me the £12.5k quote about 9 months ago after they hadnt had the best sales that month. I recon if Id have gone for it I could have had another £250 knocked of that.
Depreciation.
A 182 in 3 yrs will be worth about £6k Id guess so your looking at £6k loss maybe more with the new Clio due out by then which will be getting on for 2 yrs old so there will be cheap ones of them for sale.
A £5k 172 your looking at possibly loosing 2.5k. £3.5k is a lot of money difference. Even with say £1k extra repair and service costs thats still £70 or so a month saving.
Picking up a new car with 3 yrs warently is a great feeling but after just a year thinking of the money you loose shocked me.
not if i can manage to get one of those 10.5k deals.
thats the most id stretch to..
i was looking to spend 9k on a second hand one, but if theyre only 10.5 for brand new.. then it may be worth stretching to it and buying brand new..
hence why im asking where and how people have got them for 10.5..
if not then im gonna keep hunting for a second hand one for 9.
No-one buys a new car with depreciation top of the list. All cars lose money, huge chunks of it in the first 3 years, bnd Id imagine most arent available with such good discounts in the first place.
You buy a new car because youre prepared to pay for the privillage of being the only person to have owned it, have the new car smell and the 3 year warranty. Its no more compliacted than that in my mind
yeah but looking at it..
i can buy a second hand one for 9-9.5
when some people are saying you can get brand new ones for 10.5...
ive seen some second hand ones go for more than that! so im just trying to find out how and where i can get one for 10.5..

there was a second hand one round my area sold for 12.5 the other day and it didnt even have cup pack. was same year as mine as well. just shows some people aint worried about getting a good deal.
Im not intending to insult anyones choice in buying a 182, but just want to point out to GuyS the logic of going for an older car.
I was in a position to comfortably afford a new 182 when I began looking for a small hot hatch to replace my car. I pretty much knew I wanted a hot Mk2 Clio, but wasnt sure whether or not to get a brand new 182.
In the event, I had a good sniff around a 182 at my local Renault dealer - and ascertained that it was pretty much identical to a Ph2 172 as a car to sit in and look at, but obviously with a small boost to the drive. I then looked at what I could get in terms of a Ph2 (02 on) 172.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that sub-3 year old 172s with the balance of the warranty were coming in at under £8,000 (at the start of the year). I found a mint one from a local Cliosporter and am very satisfied. Its pretty much "as new" - I bought it with 19k on the clock for £7,800.
Over the 2 years or so I intend to keep it, I expect the 172 will lose about £2-£2.5k at the most, while a 182 at (lets say) £13k would have lost me about £4-5k. The insurance, servicing and tyre costs are the same really, so Im quids in.
yeah but i definately wouldnt pay 13k for one.......
ive got 9-9.5k to spend on one, so was planning on a second hand one, but just trying to find out about these 10.5k deals people are getting..thats the only way i buy brand new..if i could get one for 10.5.
some second hand ones cost nearly that so it seems logical to stretch to the 10.5 for brand new?...
so if it depriciated to 8k over two years that would mean losing 2.5k...the same as your expecting on the 172..
a second hand silver import on here went for 10k..
see where im coming from??
plus you cant get cup packs on the 172s
wouldnt want a cup as i want leather and aircon etc.. after having a stripped out track style car i fancy some toys now. he heand the cups the only 172 that comes in a decent colour..
just rang reg vardy, got quoted 15.5.... LOL told him another dealer offered it for 10.5 with F&F discount.. he didnt seem to have much of a clue about that? but said hed ring me back after doing some checking.
how come people manage to get them for 12.5 without discount? what dealerships have people used to get them for 10.5?
I dont think its likely youll find one for £10,500... unless youre very lucky and get F&F somehow. Its most likely that youll find a brand new 182 for about £12,000 at the cheapest (once youve accounted for the road tax etc) from a car supermarket. When I looked in January, I couldnt get one for less than that - and even then, that was without the Cup packs. Im not suggesting its impossible for everyone, but for the average Joe its nigh on so.
The trade value of a 3 year old 182 is predicted to be around the £7k mark, so youd lose about £4-5k over that period. I dont think you can argue on financial grounds that a brand new 182, even discounted, is going to lose you less in depreciation than an older one or a 172.
What you can justify a 182 on is the marginal improvements in handling and poke, coupled with the "newness" factor. You will pay a lot for the privilege though. However, most of the benefits will be present with a car thats 1 year old - and thats what Id suggest you thought about, because finding one at £10,500 is going to be a very long slog.
S2000
I paid £12k for my 182 Cup last month. When the salesman first came back with his sheet of paper with what my part ex was worth and how much the Cup would cost me I almost pissed myself. He offered me £9250 for my 1yr old Mini Cooper and wanted almost 15k for the cup as he had added on the price of mats, flaps (classy), supaguard, gap insurance, bla bla. I sold the Mini on eBay, told him to forget about the 1000 quid worth of "extras" he had added to the MRRP and told him I want the car for 12 grand or Ill go elsewhere. Got the car for £12k with mats, yeh maybe I could of got another couple of hundred quid off, but I was happy with 1800 quid off the list price and probably have the only 182 Cup in Portsmouth (although I maybe wrong!).
