Is this a good price for a cup

[edewer]

Hi all,

looking at a cup this afternoon, but unsure as to whether this is a good price or not. from owning one previously I reckon its fairly competitively priced, but would like some further opinions

'52' plate
1 owner from new
FRSH
48k miles
Judging by the miles, age and condition I assume the belts will have been done but will confirm when i test drive this afternoon
One small paint touch up on the bonnet, and wheels could probably do with a refurb too, but otherwise excellent condition

car is on sale from a dealer at £5k, comes with a years warranty and all the other usual bits

opinions please

Ed

Low milage ones are getting hard to find. May be offer 4.5 and go from there?

I paid £4200 back in October for mine on 48k. That came with fsh also

£5K for a 172cup? behave!

 

[rich-6]

You can get 182s for 5k at dealers now!

Id rather have that for that money.

i paid 2800 for 2003 cup on 81k fsh!

if you're willing to pay 5k id assume you'd be willing to stretch if necessary for the right car, which will cover an 04 ff 182, echoing the above, 5k is too much.

5k lol- Its very good on paper but with wheels needing a refurb etc thats 4/4.1 top whack-

52 plate as well- Id be looking at 3.75 for that if I were you-

im selling my 182 alot less than that. you can pick them up for around £3.5k mark

It does depend though. Yes you can get late 4k 182's but they are mainly dogs. I'd rather pay a bit more for a MINT condition Clio. I've seen peoples 'mint' cars on here at shows, and some are anything but tbh!

Mine will be up for sale this week and I want 5k for it.

IMO, it's one of the nicest cups around and very tastefully modified.

Check my project thread out.

theres me thinking i would be happy with 3k for mine 03reg 63000miles cambelts done

 

[alanc1000]

Sounds a little bit tatty too, 4k tops.

Thats the trouble, people on here undervalue cars way too much. Look on the trader, only the scratty ones are 3.5k

 

[Henry]

it's probably 2k over its insurance valuation, but guess it depends upon just how tidy it is and how much anyone's willing to pay in premium. presumably you're planning on running it for a good while?

 

[edewer]

decided against it in the end

coatesy, sold my cup 3 months ago with FSH and 67k for £3600

picking up my new ph1 next saturday now! cant wait!
