RS 172
Hey guys,
I'm off to browse a Silver 172 on Weds, but just posting on here for some advice regarding what to look for in this car in particular.
I wont go into too much detail but its very very cheap. Its a 52 plate with 59,000 miles, and is a CAT C repair. Its got a clean HPI Full check which I ran myself. One issue I had however is that it has had 7 previous owners, which seemed like a lot to me.
Looks mint however, except some light paint damage to the rear bumper which I can sort no problem. It really is a steal at the money its up at, but I wonder if it looks too good, it may well be.
Im taking an experienced mechanic with me who can give the workings a once over, but do you have any advice regarding specifics to look for? E.G. how to spot if the car is feeling underpowered or mistreated etc? Its really just the 7 owners playing on my mind a little. I know it could mean nothing, and most people probably find the CAT C repair more worrying, but the car I run now was a CAT C (or D cant remember) repair and is perfect.
Thanks guys.
