My 7.5 year old 182 cup

[benhwolves]

Thought I'd post some more up to date pics. Car now ten years old and on just over 21k miles. Currently debating on running it as my daily and actually using it!
Pics taken today after a quick clean. Paint is still like new. Still loving it ten years on.

Does the cup not come with the sport interior? Looks great though, so mint!

Few other bits n bob like no xenons too

But weigh 20k or so less than a normal 182

Not worth it IMO, Xenons and go on a diet = 20KG less

Thats amazing. 20k in 10 years. my 172 cup is 12 years old nearly and on 120k. Had mine from new.

I agree that the seats aren't the best, especially compared with the heated recaros in the fiesta st I had! Rest of the car is great though. Kind of wish I'd covered 120k miles @Iain C in mine instead of pampering it.
Half of me thinks keep it nice and take my little lad to car shows in it in a few years whereas the other half thinks just use it, after all it's a car not an ornament! Then a small part of me thinks sell it and move on lol. Belts are due again in April and it's only covered 6k miles since they were last done which seems crazy. Another birchdown day out coming up soon!

I could't use it all the time. Low mileage 182's are hard to find now, be interesting to see how many good ones will be left in another 10 years. Deffo future classic.

 

[Iain C]

I'd just keep her mint. Another 10 years it will be worth a fortune. They are there to be enjoyed tho however you do that.

 

[Ethan1996]

I'm sure alot of people enjoy their cars in other ways than driving tbh. I'm sure alot of people in the detailing section prefer cleaning than driving tbh! Definitely keep it though, could be worth alot in future!

Lovely that mate, a credit to you, looks showroom condition......

 

[Richyy182]

I was happy with mine being on 66k. This is nuts

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Amazing, probably the 'best' 182 out there by a mile! i'd keep pampering it and keeping the miles low as possible.

Cheers! Just as I've convinced myself to sell my daily runabout in spring and start using this as a daily haha

Brilliant Ben, I thought I did well finding a ten year old car with 58k on it. You certainly won't be short of buyers if you ever did shift. Will be interesting to see if DTM £5500 super low mileage 172 cup sells. R- sport looks like he got messed about with his 27k for £4350 as its back up for sale.

I have to admit I didn't fancy a cup at first. But considering I am swapping my seats anyway, have had endless problems with the headlight washers(which are a bloody mot failure if not working). Run a PMS strut brace so the engine cover is fecked off and who really needs full air con. Actually I would have probably been better going for one .

Keep it up.
