maybe a wee bit high but hey what do i know?

looks a minter tho

 

[Nafoff]

lol at being polite, what you reckon mate? ££££

 

[Sy]

Yours is a minter mate, seems maybe a bit steep to me though, mine is pretty much mint, but I have 79,000 miles on it. I will only be asking just over £3k. But maybe I am selling myself short at that.

 

[Nafoff]

everyone seems to be unsure on prices......have had someone say it is way overpriced, when i asked how much it should be up for they said they had no idea....lol

 

[Sy]

I have seen them range from £2k, to Taylors £4700 price tag.

 

[Dcds4]

Mine was up for sale at a g less than that, a few ragged prezza and evo swap offers and took 3 months before someone wanted to view, bad time of year i know but my car is also in very good nick for the year but on 80k s i decided to keep it. I personally think to the right buyer you could get about 500 less than your asking price 3.8ish??

 

[ForceIndia]

I'd say it's a bit high, I picked up a 53 plate 172, 40k miles for 5.5k. I'd drop the price by 5-700 quid. Nice looking example, but it is 7-8 years old.

 

[cat171]

Bad time of the year to be selling up tbh.
Price wise, peeps on here expect to pay 3k -3.5k tops for one (i'm not kidding either) Personally i'd say put it up for 4k ono & see how that goes.

Where else have you advertised it ??

 

[JamieITR]

Agree with this ^^^ I'd say put it at £3995 ono and see if this generates more interest.

 

[Timmay]

id say 4k then go a bit lower if needed

 

[ForceIndia]

Stick it on Pheads, and keep an eye on the french bread forum on there. People often asking about buying 1*2's, no harm in directing them to your add.

 

[capturedbyjames]

It's a minter - but probably a bit too high. The ph1 are going dirt cheap now - but you should get £3700 - £4000 for it...

 

[Laura]

I have seen them range from £2k, to Taylors £4700 price tag.

and it sold at that too

good marketing i say

 

[Nafoff]

i have put it on pistonheads, williamsclio and clio 16 valver

had thought about dropping the price a bit, i will look up that french bread section

 

[Brett]

well if i could afford to insure it i would have it off you, although personally i'd want it for a bit cheaper more around the £3750 mark because the value of PH2 172's and 182's are droping quickly.

 

[Christopher]

real shame too, it's a minter

i'd say around £4k tbh

i sold my old one for £3.5k last January!

 

[Tom Wilde]

Where did you get the wheels? Like those!

 

[Laura]

i think i did well lol, saying that ive never lost money on a car i sold

 

[Luke_D]

i would say its priced a bit too high mate, i bought mine in november last year its 'x reg' and its in absolute mint condition and it was only £3800

 

[Nafoff]

ok so the overall concencous is its a bit high...perhaps i will look at relisting it with a different price then

tom you asking me about the wheels? if so they are standard

 

[Nafoff]

changed price now.......now to sort the other adverts i spose

 

[JR]

Bit late as most have commented already, but 4k ono imo fella.

Mine sold for 3.9k last month but it wasn't just another standard silver ph 1 if that makes sense.

 

[Timmay]

see price has changed - hope you get a buyer soon

 

[ianeire]

Mine had 74k on the clock and I paid more than what you have it advertised for.

 

[Kula197]

I would say put it up for £3995 tbh mate....

My mate bought one with 51k on the clock last July for £3600..was a minter too

 

[capturedbyjames]

Other than that - it's a really good advert.

 

[JR]

Other than that - it's a really good advert.

I know , the template for the advert was mine. Neils car is one of the best i have seen though.

 

[Middo]

Dont think its overly over priced, tis a minter. Maybe about 3.5k mark is more of a starting point?

 

[JR]

The problem with pricing rs clio's is that there is so much variation in the market.

 

[Nafoff]

glad i am getting alot more educated evaluations on this now, cheers for the kind words aswell people

 

[JR]

I can check the book prices for you tomorrow fella but its probably not going to be what you want to hear ?

 

[Timmay]

im just wodnering if its worth downsizing from my 172 - could have this and free up some cash.....

or do i keep my 172? dilemma dilemmas

 

[Nafoff]

you would not be dissapointed with the quality of this car mate, justin will confirm this

also it is ment to be a better drivers car than the phase 2's

 

[Middo]

wouldnt really call it a down grade, ph1s are great little cars arguably a better drive than the ph2s if without the comfort and the toys

 

[Nafoff]

has air con...i call that a toy....lol

 

[JR]

I can confirm it, its mint.

There is not a mark on it, and its a better drivers car than a ph2 172 i should know i have had both a ph1 and a ph2.

 

[Daniel]

I just traded a 2000-X 172 phase 1 that needed about £250 worth of work, with 66000 miles on it for £2200.

By the time thats been prepped/valeted/MOT'd etc, it will owe the guy about £27/2800. It will retail on his pitch for £3999, so IMHO i think your car is a little dear.

BUT! if i was you, considering the miles/condition, i'd not take a penny less than £3800.

(Dejas Vous?! I said all that to you ages ago lol!)

 

[ChrisCurr]

It's madness,got to be worth £4000 min! But at the end of the day it's down to supply interest and demand.

I paid £6k for my Xreg admittedly 2 years ago. but with the vaule of the car compared to other I wouldn't sell it.

Wish I was looking for one now I'd rip your arm off!

 

[Steve2004]

Overpriced.

Plenty of ph2s around for that kind of money.

I paid £6k for my Xreg admittedly 2 years ago.

You were had. lol
