New guy thinking about buying a Clio 172/182

[Richyy182]

That black 182 has hurt my eyes. Why would someone do that?

As said above, I'd go 172 with the money you have or PH1. For a decent'ish 182 you'll need £2500 +

Awesome cars though.

Cup or standard? Might be able to push budget to 2k

 

[LiamR172]

Cup front shocks dont fit standard 172s. And the rear shocks are the same.

Buy a 172 and get decent coilovers, tyres induction kit and exhaust and your sorted.

 

[Ludford]

I think all that would still result in me shelling out £2k lol

 

[Mar172]

I mean I'm seeing 182s on auto trader with mods for £1700

People on here tend to look after there cars and if I was looking this would be the first place but its your money so good luck on the auto trader .

No offence, but maybe you can't afford one just yet? The ones your linking are just sheds, your going to have to pour money into them. What's the point? Save up some cash and get a decent one IMO

Another new member that comes on here, asks a load of questions, then completely ignores the advice given.

Leave him to it, let him go and buy a Cat D off autotrader for cheap. It will serve him right for not listening.

And then say all clios are s**t as he bought a heap.....

That really does my head in when people say that. "Ahh my £1000 172 is s**t, your 3k example must be too"

172 turbo for £2750 here. Not bad.

That was sold well over 6 months ago.

Hold on, I'll find a link for a trophy I sold for £11,995 back in 2007....

 

[Ludford]

I know it's sold. Just gives a feeling for the market value though.

I'm awaiting his reply on the mileage and belts

I don't see the issue with this one tbh http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-RENA...4255290?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4d0e692bba

Nothing a can of black plastidip wont solve.

It's much cheaper than other 182s, so it's probably a shed.

It's had silly silver bits painted on it, so it's probably been owned by an idiot.

Idiots generally don't know how to look after a car properly, so again it's probably a shed.

There's 3 issues with it already. Save more cash or go for an older car. Or regret buying a shed.

Lol. If you think they are worth buttons, then go and find one for said amount of buttons and buy it. But don't say we didn't warn you. Just save enough for a decent one, else you will be paying for it through repairs and maintenance.

I'm awaiting Daniel to state his famous 'educating pork' line, then this thread is complete. Welcome to the forum by the way.
