Opinions on a 2004 172

[puk_kai]

Hi all
im in a process of buying a 172 and came across this Monaco Blue 172 2004, priced 5900. wondering people view on this good price? according to parkers a private good one should be around 7k and poor one 6k. But i have seem some monaco blue for around the 5.8k to 6.5k, is that market price for them at the moment?

anything i need to look out for when inspecting the car? for example steering, suspenison, clutch, gears wear and tear? brake disc and pad just been changed so that area seems ok.

does the aux or cambelt need changing at 35k miles? its had a new exhaust fiitted, does this reflect anything? presuming its a standard one

Looks like an import, and it doesnt have cruise control where as all the 04 plate 172's i have seen have had cruise control. Id have a closer look.
There are loads of things to look out for on these cars. this 172 will need a semi major service at 3years or 36k costing around £250(ish)

We have a comprehensive guide to problems on these cars in the "guides" section written my the infamous edde - pay your £5 to view it.

price is about right for the mileage imo...
