Interested in a 182

[J273]

Hi guys i currently have a 1.2 dynamique 03 plate and am interseted in getting a 182 (racin blue) ,Im currently paying finance on me 1.2 and still have a bit to pay off do you think the best idea would be to pay the finance off on the 1.2 and chop it in with the renault dealer i brought it from and also get the 182 from them or would u say sell it private or even part exchange with another garage where ive seen 1 who will pay the remainder off and effectivly start again.

Insurance may also be a problem as im only 19 but when i plan on getting it i should have 2yrs no claims.

What would you guys do?

Im in the same situation mate i have my 1.2 extreme on lease and after the 2 years im interested in getting a 182 and will be 19 with hopefully 2 years no claims but im not sure how im going to pay for the 182?? Loan maybe....

sell private and buy private if you want second hand 182

glad you are thinking of a change, guys. but- the step up to 182 is bigger than you think- mine does a max of 30mpg strictly super98, it drinks oil and not the cheap stuff, insurance is high, there is huge depreciation, bits need fixing and if you buy a lemon like many of my friends on here have then it will cost you a lot of time, effort and patience.

best car ive driven for a while though.

try and make it work- see renault about insurance, or tescos.

ggod luck,d

my 1.6 only does 33mpg urban 36-38 motorway...

According to my trip computer, i averaged 40.2 mpg on the way to stirling on the motorway, so the 182 can be driven economically .

why not just get a 172, either mkI or II? performance wise they are pretty much the same as a 182, but at half the price?

why do you want all that debt @ 19!!

no need.

^^^ here here!

No point spending all that money on a new 182 in youre position. I know too many people who have done the same and regreted it.

Save a bit and sell youre 1.2 private then buy a 172 around the same age.

Sell the 1.2 privately and buy a mk2 172 privately......

[J273]

I got my 182 when i was 20 had it just under a year now insurance to begin with was 1800 squid with 1yrs ncb, has since gone down 800quid with elephant.co.uk 10month deal. But expensive to run i get 28mpg and thats as far as it goes unfortunately. Not had any serious probs yet (touch wood) but well worth gettin lots of fun!

I wish that I could have bought a 182 when I was 19! Instead I had a beat-up ten year old 1.3 Metro and still was paying through the nose for insurance ...

For reference and if it helps, I am paying around 550 squids and Im 30 somthing with 4 years NCB.

i got my 182 yesterday, part exed with my 1.2 billabong. Im 18 and have no regrets borrowng £7000 to have this, its ammazing.

GO GET ONE

I still have quite a bit to pay off on my 172 (Ive not even had it a year!) but its a loan, not finance. Im going to take out another loan, pay off the other one and give the difference to the dealer - that way it will only cost me £35 more a month to have the 182 .
