[badinvincible]

It depends on whether you want to lose money on a British car or French car. To be honest, what answer do you think youll get?

 

[si.p]

abou 7k

 

[Smokey]

wont be british for much longer

 

[JayR]

Id rather the 172 tbh but then im not a lover of MGs but am Clios!!!

 

[182_blue]

mg zr total class ??

 

[FiDoDiDo]

What model ZR is it, i.e. engine?

 

[Type_Mo]

1.4 ??

I like them, but i hear they rattle like f**k! but there cheap to run apparently!

 

[Jay@auto-mods]

mgs rust! clio 172s squeak! a little but the 172 is more fun to drive and quicker straight line and on the corners....

Sounds very familiar...

 

[McBunny]

hang on you can buy them brand new for that now iirc lol rover dealers having 50% sales

 

[TheCake]

Id have the ZR personally.

 

[ViolentJ]

keep the ZR youll lose too much money selling now. Sell it when its old and knackered and you have had good use of it.

 

[TheKing]

even with rover down the pan now?

 

[McBunny]

the king
as i said rovers are going for like 50% off list in some places

I would have to agree with this, youre not gonna sell it for any reasonable ammount at the moment. Best of driving it for a good few years and get the most out of it.

 

[stu8v]

Ive been told by a mitsi dealer that they wont take rovers anymore and the one they have on the forcourt has dropped in value by 50% since the collapse

 

[DH_GTI]

wots with the "zr" stuff its a rover 25, get a clio imo

 

[silvercup182]

youll be lucky to get 7k for it..... the administrators have said that they will not be honoring the warranty on any cars sold to date and issuing none going forward...... its true you can pick up a new one with a 50% discount!!!

Rover r S**t anyway.... not class in anyway! oh and I used to have a brm was not all that!

 

[Lagerlout]

I wouldnt thank you if you gave me a Rover 25 ZR for free. Come next month, theyll be 2-4-1 in Costco.

 

[Munson]

Are they not actually sposed to be quite a good drive? How many of you slating them have actually driven/owned one? Sure, theyre based on old cars but they are rapid(ish) and are quite good from what Ive read.

I would imagine the 172 is a much better drivers car though, and will be faster all round, plus it will have better dealer support (almost impossible to imagine) than the Rover. If you can afford it, then sell the MG and get a 172 IMHO.

 

[Toypop]

The current 182 is also based on an equally dated design.

I am sure those MGs are quite nice, I have sat in the MG version of the Rover 25 and it seemed quite nice.

Id definitely keep it, you will just get screwed over if you sell it now.

Whats all this ZR vs Rover 25 sh*t?

The ZR is a fatter 25 with sports bits and a bit of colour coding

The 182 is a fatter 1.2 with sports bits and a bit of colour coding

The Williams is a fatter 1.4rt with sports bits and a bit of colour coding

All Hot Hatches are a fatter sportier version of there little siblings.

[BillyBhoy]

I have always seen MG ZRs as pre chavved up 25s. Hate them!

 

[team_penetrator]

Rover 25?

I think its a Rover 200... The one that was launched 11 years ago...

 

[Day]

Dont forget the current clio was introduced some 7-8 years ago!

 

[rory182]

too late to change, youve made the mistake of picking the zr over a 172, 172 cup, or 182 and now unless youre willing to throw money away youre stuck with it.

I think what they mean is that the rover 200 was so piss poor,its hard to imagine something half decent comming out of it,just by adding some kit and stiffer springs
