Petrol blue for sale on Facebook (if anyone is looking for one) NOT Mine

[MLB]

I've never really seen any, seen a Trophy a couple of times and the blue 172 track car but not much else!

The new buyer said that 2 wheel bolts snapped on the drive home. 👀

Nice profile pic 😉

Nice profile pic 😉

I thought I recognised it. Was a google search pic. Haha. I can change it if you want me to. 🤷🏼‍♂️

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

It's not a Trophy, just painted the same colour.

Ah ok. Hadn't read anything, just spotted it on Instagram.

 

[gherkin]

Surely this is a spoof that someone paid 3700 for that car.

 

[RustyMojo]

just read on Facebook, he didn’t pay that for it! Sounds like chap that’s bought it is getting it in the bodyshop. Then it’s being turbo converted! Would love it to be a build thread if it’s done properly! The Facebook groups are great for this kind of thing. I noticed a black turbo conversion with a personal plate think ‘tub’ is back for sale again! It’s been sold like 3 times this year I think 😂

Don’t think they paid that much reading the FB post last night.

Anything over 3 grand and he's just had his leg lifted, if he knew about this thread beforehand then they were well warned.
The fact it started falling apart on the drive home is a good sign it wasn't the best example.

I thought the ONLY thing the car had going for it was the paint colour and given the state of the paint you'd hardly consider it a benefit. If it's being made into a track car it makes even less sense.

KT04 EKV is still alive! I bought that from Renault.

Mega lols if it ends up with a K20 swap, caged, coilovers and wrapped.

I sold it in 2008 and it certainly didn't look like that! My poor baby.

You could have bought it back! 😂

There's a LY turbo 182 around and a few 172's and trophys, there's probably more tucked away somewhere.

No mate, its cool. Just was scrolling through and it threw me off for a minute when I saw it. I'll take it as a compliment 😁

There's quite a few in this area, head out on the roads towards Chirk on a sunny weekend and you will see loads.

Maybe that's it, I try to avoid places like that on the weekends. Went to Llangollen last Saturday and it was heaving!

Good place for a Clio owner to go for a drive though, some brilliant roads there.

I genuinely hope someone does an absolute number on it and turns it in to a minter.

This comment seems to have ages particularly well.

 

[hopgop1]

Can't believe it's not still got all that nice red coolant in it, smh

 

[Robbie Corbett]

10 grand. 10 f**king grand.

 

[Landyman]

l would say half that price would be getting nearer to the true value, although only low mileage ones seem to be worth £5,000 or more.

 

[HAP]

@MLB 3rd petrol blue in North Wales. Probably the most common colour over here.

 

[HAP]

The guy told me he sprayed it himself. Not sure how good the paint job is but the colour looks a bit too green to me.

 

[MLB]

Haha I think I'll need to start looking for a liquid yellow then!

Maybe resprayed metallic instead of pearlescent that gives it a different colour? I sadly don't know much about car paints

 

[SharpyClio]

Looks tidy but £10k for a car with 130k seems a bit rich! A fancy paint isnt worth c£5k is it?

 

[Poopensharten]

It now looks the same shade as the crystal meth he was smoking when he wrote that advert out.

 

[Landyman]

l would love another Clio 182 and it will be the next "classic" car that l buy. My Racing Blue FF 182 was just so good to drive, it had been fettled by various members on here (about six of whom had previously owned it!) lt was lowered with the Cup Alloys and attracted a lot of attention particularly from the lads in the factory when my wife used it to go to work....she gained a lot of credibility with them at that time.

l would probably want a low mileage one and will be looking in the usual places as
well as on here.

£10,000 and it's got a DIY paintjob on it?

Unless the guy works in a bodyshop and painted it there in his spare time?

Thinking about it I would guess at that price he has had it done professionally and is trying to recoup some of that cost, I was quoted £4k for a full exterior respray on my BG so with the other work I have had done to recoup my costs I need to sell it for c£10k, although I accept that you don't get back what you put in, but some folks don't see that and think they can get it all back plus some for their pocket.

 

[RustyMojo]

I don’t think that’s a DIY job, even with the crappy way eBay compress photos to look like their from 2004 it looks nicely done. I’m sincerely happy that someone has done a job on the car. It needed doing properly after several people tried to turn a quick quid on it. However it’s strong money with that miles, seem to remember it having no history as well. Still a rare old thing and it’s not like there are hundred of PB for sale. So find another!

 

[HAP]

Totally respect the guy for doing it himself. I would probably mess it up and get overspray everywhere.

 

[HAP]

There was another PB for sale a few months ago for £15k but the owner decided to keep the car.

 

[Robbie Corbett]

I'd have no issues with a DIY job done to a high standard, I've sprayed several cars now and tbh as long as you are willing to spend the time post spray the jobs as good as a body shop.

I do think the price is way off though.

 

[Clio_fool]

The thing with petrol blue is not that many people actually want to own one. Yeah it's the rarest 182 but finding someone who's willing to pay £10k for an absolutely mint low miles 182 is hard enough never mind one thats just and average car in a funky colour that has limited appeal. If it was 5 or 6k someone may take a punt on it but that cars never going to fetch 10k imo.
