is 7 previous owners TOO many for a 182?

[peugeot205gti]

Morning,

Still on the hunt for 172 cup/182. Found a 182 with cup packs, 04 plate 100k miles.

It has had 7 previous owners, would you avoid?

Cheers

 

[JB21]

No as long as the service history and condition is good.

 

[peugeot205gti]

Thanks, do admin allow you to post any links to vehicles on here? I just wondered if anyone had owned it from Cliosport.net

cheers

 

[NaplesValver]

No. I’m the 13th/14th owner of mine. I can trace the last 4/5 on here and it’s mint. If it’s been well looked after, no bother [emoji1303]

Yeh links are allowed, get it posted up so we can have a look.

As said, I wouldn't be too worried about 7 previous owners, these are old cars now so as long as it's been looked after, serviced as it should, belts done on time, you should be fine.

Thanks all,

This one below, only thing putting me off is those carbon strips inside, not my cup of tea. I know they can be changed easily enough though of course.

Also, what do you all make of the french flag on the grill, again i prefer 100% standard so not ideal for me

 

[cat171]

The rear wiper doesn't sit properly, so you'd need to see why. Yep the carbon fibre interior strips can be swapped out, and the french flag colours in the grille can be removed.

All in all, if it's in good nick & has good history to go with it (cambelt + dephaser & all that shizz done a couple of times) that's what you want.

Hope not lol.

Had mine over two years (rare, very) so I must quite like it.

Condition, history etc.

As an indication. The first of the 7 clios i've owned i had for 5 weeks iirc, two of them were in the showroom in work lol.

Being picky,
Its had new steering wheel thumb grips and the Renault and sport badge have been stuck in the wrong position
also missing front splitter.

 

[cat171]

Exhaust is probably aftermarket (but that's probably a good thing!)

Some good spots here! All things that put me off, i am also picky but i'm in not rush to buy. Chances are there is a better one out there without these minor niggles
If nothing else turns up by this weekend then a i may take a drive to the garage, if the body is mint and drives well then i may just look beyond these issues

 

[McGherkin]

MIne had about 700. Half of them were Daniel but still.

And the paint on the drivers side looks shite,

imo

but they arnt 'issues', they are things to address. Honestly wouldnt let those types of things put you off mate

 

[masekwm]

My Cup had 11 previous, my turbo has 2. They're old now, you're going to get a few

Plus they're super cheap now, so it's not the end of the world if a couple of bits need doing.

 

[peugeot205gti]

Thanks all, lets see if anything better pops up locally in the next few days.

Nobody familiar with this vehicle then?

 

[imprezaworks]

Get a wanted thread up with what your after etc. Price etc.

 

[Marc 182]

Just to put this into perspective, I'm owner 11 of mine! It's been utterly faultless in 8500 miles since I bought it last summer. Cost £1500 and alright it's far from mint, but she does what she's supposed to and drives A1. Has a stack of history and finding some of the past out on this forum was very handy, but goes to show how important maintenance is. These are tough little cars, mine is just coming up to 136k. I've just done a 5k oil change and she feels unburstable. I don't think I've ever owned a car that does everything I ask of it so effectively!

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Buy on condition.

 

[Marc 182]

Buy on condition.

Absolutely!!

 

[imprezaworks]

Don’t forget to bid in the balls and expect a new car.

Selling cars is exciting.

How far away from you is that one ? If it's not mega far, maybe take a look ?

Hi mate,

About an hours drive, happy to do that if nothing else shows up before then

 

[peugeot205gti]

Anyone know this car on here?

[imprezaworks]

Mmm nope.

That inspires zero excitement

Sounds like a tired car doesn't it, shame it looks completely standard

 

[imprezaworks]

May be worth a nose if local.

But 133k
Too expensive
Body work needs doing
And the sound part in the advert

Will do, being tight haha.

Will sort next few days if nothing comes up

 

[Bowser]

I just viewed one with 11 previous owners.
As already said, go on condition and how it drives - and your gut feeling.

Best £12 you will spend mate. Save trawling crap

Why do these cars have so many owners? Wrong people buying them? Fuel cost? Too fast for them? Any ideas?

In my case and I know others, I bought my last 182 to last me until my lease car was built. Then sold after 3months. Now bought another until I decide what's next

Cheap to buy, cheap to swap etc.
