Just bought a 182

[mwn11]

And i have to say the jump from the 1.4 is AMAZING.

im so happy haha.

Cat D- repaired through insurance.
19k miles
54 reg
Gold Black

All for less than 3 and a half K.

Seemed too good to be true.

I will probably find out it is haha.

Nice find, do you know what the damage was like ?

 

[Dave..]

It'll be riddled with problems but enjoy it all the same!

 

[Sipha]

Oh and @ 19k on a 54 plate get the belts changed asap if they havnt been already.

 

[mwn11]

Yeah the guy had pictures.
An old bloke before him hit a parked car and smashed the passenger front. so new bonnet, wing, bumper, light.
They brought all the parts through renault and so the price added up then plus labour costs. so the insurance wrote it off.

If your happy mate thats all that matters, for the money you paid it seems a good buy.

The hysteria of buying a cat c/d is re sale values, not a problem if your planning to keep it!

 

[mwn11]

Thanks. Id been reading the the would you buy a cat d car thread and i though well for the money its worth the plunge.

It wont be used excessively as uni next year.

The belts do need doing but i need to save some dorra first.

 

[The_Pirate]

Belts should have been done last year and you're running a bit of a risk but hey ho!

 

[mwn11]

I know. As soon as i get enough money theyre getting done. How soon depends how much i get selling the old car.

 

[The_Pirate]

Got any pics? Fire them up in GM!
