Is this 182 worth 2750?

Sweet i thought the price sounded fair just wanted to check. I hate paying to much for something lol

Just hope the belts have been done somewhere respectable now.
 
As above mate - if the belts have been done, and done properly, ie by a respected specialist/dealer - its a good price!

If they havnt its a £500-£700 job depending if you get the dephaser/waterpump done so I'd be knocking him down some more!!! lol
 
is it me or has the front bumper been resprayed ( inside the bumper gap vent thingy) the corners are blue?? i always thought there were black??
 
Yeah i noticed the front bumper respray. When i hear back from him about belts i will go and have proper look round and test drive.
 
What do people see when they look at cars- perhaps im overly critical-

Front bumper been resprayed as mentioned- tidy up or Crash
No mention of belts = no belts ALWAYS
Steering wheel needs replacing
Splitting is missing in action
Exhaust mounts need changing
tints need removing

Non cup pack car-
Worst colour / least desirable -


I wouldnt waste my money- but whatever you fancy-

I'm after either a 172 or 182 steve and finding it quite difficult at the moment but I'm like you, ill ask a lot of questions!!

Most I've inquired about have no or part history, havent had the belts done or have had them done but have no receipts! one person claimed that the proof the belts were changed was a small sticker on the windscreen of the car!
 
The last car i bought hadnt mentioned belts on the add but they had been done..?

Thanks for the input steve its not perfect i know that but all them niggles are easily fixable. and it seems fairly priced but i dont know you are the expert. lol

Well taking the belts aside for the mo- lets assume they are done- you are paying the 'bottom' end price for the car- but you are buying a bottom end 182-
Buying that identical car private would set you back 2k, so essentially youve paid a dealer 800 quid for a tatty car-
Obviously Im not trying to stop you buying non private- however if your going to a dealer you should find something a lot better for the 3250 mark that needs no work & is cup packed rather than spending 2750 for a car that when you get to the spend level of 3250 still isnt going to be 'that' good....

My flamer its epic.... although im not really going out of my way to sell it!

With your last one, if the car was being sold by a generic dealer who doesnt know much about renault sports he wont realise what a big deal the cambelt change is on these cars so might not mention it even if its had it done.
 
offer him 2k & leave your number- thats £750 extra off - covers possible dephasyer. & other little bits like mounts...
Dont take the car if they say they will do the belts-- but you know that!

S
 
Lol not on my last 182 though ;)

I dont think i will bother as theres no chance there goign to take near 2k and the fact they say they will do belth for 300 just shows there idiots.

Ahwell keep on looking then lol.

Between that and the list from eagle eyed steve, its not looking like a great option now then I take it?!


Not sure what he means about the colour, i like it, but then I have no taste, lol

Yeah I love that colour too lol. And without the belts being done it is pretty much a no yeah.
 
I like how when ever there is a cheap car people can just never let it be a cheap car! Not everyone lives in fairy land where their 182 is worth 6k anymore!! My 182 is for sale at 2k, belts done last year inc dephaser pulley and has both cup packs, and its by no means a shed!

*edit -id rather buy say for example a cheaper high mileage and have spare money left over to fix it if it went wrong!
 
This is the main problem i have is i cant travel far as i have no way of getting to say doncaster.

I have even been tempted to ask a few people if they could possibly bring the car to me but theres no chance in that.

Where is it advertised? If you dont mind me asking??
 
Not properly anywhere!! Iv not had time because of moving cliospares over to renparts Iv been working mad hours!! Iv just been posting it on the forum when people have asked in the wanted section

Would you like to buy it :P
 
Just take a risk! I picked it up from essex at midnight having left a £200 deposit that day! On the back of the recovery truck it went! I suppose its a bit different for me though as I had everything I would ever need to fix it :D
 
Will have to do it tomorrow, im at work atm and im going horse riding at 7.30 lol so wont be back til late! Send me a PM to remind me & il send over all the details I have. Im going to struggle to get any pics this week while its light, I could email some pics I have off my phone if you PM your number. The car hasnt changed apart from having the wheels refurbed !
 
Yeah no rush just if it really catches my eye I might be able to sort something out about getting to you.

It has Cup alloys. Also its Arctic Blue! IMO the best colour for the 182!! I hardly think its the 'least desirable' colour in the 182 range!!!

sadly Arctic blue & Albi blue are the least desirable across the overall piste - renault have now discontinued this colour- however if you like the colour - then its fortunate its the cheaper end of the scale-
