Just been to look at 182

[-Leigh-]

Just went and looked at a 182 at the local stealers.

2004 '04' plate, 26k, titanium, cup packs, FSH, comes with a Renault warranty.

Said I can have it for £8800, or if i trade my car in they'd give me £5000 for my 172, and pay the difference.

Worth it??

 

[Tim172]

I would say no IMO

 

[Bluebeard]

why didn't you ask me and jon at the meet this morning???

But imo, its not worth the extra. they're just too similar.

I hadn't looked at it, only just had now.

mmm, spose it's pretty much the same car, just a bit newer.

I looked at one the other day, offered me 5200 for mine and the 182 was 7999. But the 182 was a bucket tbh!! And like others say its just too much of the same car for the extra money imo.

with a few mods you could make yours as quick as the 182 , but its a preference thing , newer car , warranty etc ....shop around ,even sell yours private will give you a better return

Worth it??

all depends on mileage/condition of ur's mate?

if ur's is in good nick then no id say paying the extra is not worth it

forgot they are loads faster

No, the difference are not enough. If I was gonna swap id go for the 197

Think it's just a newer toy really lol. Will see, if I can get between £5800-£6000 for mine then I may consider it. If not then will keep it.

Don't really like the 197.

 

[Chili Red]

I went from a 172 to a 182, and I'm glad I did. I much prefer the 182. Admittedly it was a while before the 197 came out though.

 

[Patrick1964]

The 182 isn't worth £8800, simple as that. £7800 maybe !

 

[Toypop]

Mine is a 54 with 13500 miles in titanium with Cup Packs and in September I can pay £6100 to keep it or hand it back! Frankly I'd rather hand it back cos it ain't worth £6100 to me. Nice car but potential money pit with high running costs.

£8800...no way!!!!

 

[Justin]

wouldnt do it.. you wont notice any difference really.. apart from the exhaust lol

 

[matt182]

Not a lot of difference IMHO so may aswell keep your 172

 

[DanUK]

I just changed, been without the 172 for around 10 months and I really noticed a difference. 182 felt torquey and more planted on it's Exaltos! Not worth £8800 though! get them down to £8000

 

[-Leigh-]

lol you try getting a dealer to knock off £2000!! It's up for £9999, but they said they'd let it go for £8800. No way will they let it go for £8000.

I may try and sell mine, and buy a mint one from here for £7500ish.

Don't think it would be worth ot changing either.

TbH if you find a French car that's reliable you've got something rare so best just hang onto it.
