Anyone having a job to sell their 172/cups?
Not shifted mine as yet and there is another cup (52 plate) for sale near me that has been up for sale for a few weeks too.
Is there no market for 2nd hand renosports?

If anyone wants a Williams 2 and then cash on top for there 172 Cup let me know????
I want a Cup.....
I have noticed that people are asking too much for them. For example, a mate of mine just got one for £4995. 01/Y 45k. Excellent condition too. There is also a W/00 45k 172 on autotrader for £4995. People will look at the cheaper cars first. They have dropped in price quite a bit since the arrival of the 182.

182, D2 Td5 & 840CI
To be honest mate they "should" sell better in the summer, alot of people are now put off at the fact that they have no ABS etc.... IMHO they go for the fat 172s and get all the toys for say £800 more?
Good luck with the sale tho.... still getting rx7????

^^^id keep it mate. Is it worth all that cash loss for a side step? Youll loose it all again on the 182 any way
i have never had a car with a sh*ttier second hand value. i wanted £7500 for mine on here, had no interest. advertised it locally for £7995 - no interest. took it back to dealer who sold me it for £11500 6/7 months ago. he is giving me £7600 for it. the arse has dropped out of 182/172 especially. mine is 03 monaco blue with loads spent on tasteful but loud ice and 17" oz superturismos with toyo proxes. they just dont sell. glad i am with audi now which hold there value very well.
Try selling a scooby, its near on impossible. Took me 5 weeks to get rid of mine.
A 03 plate cup is now more than 2 years old with less than 1 years warranty left. I think £8500 is to much considering they were around £11000 new.
After 3 years they should be roughly worth 50% of the initial value. So around about £5500-£6000. Yours should be priced at around £7500 IMO
What this man said, if your gonna buy a hot hatch, most people would prefer to spend a little more, get a new one that they know has not been thrashed.
I traded my 52 plate Cup, with 18k on the clock, for 8k in December for a LCR. I think that was a flipping good deal if you ask me, got out with some dignity!
Indeed, there are bargains to be had if you look around. I mean, theres mk1 172s on here going for over 6k with higher mileage than the ones Ive looked at.
Unfortunately, in the last few months, they have dropped quite a bit. I have found 4 mk1 172s in my area below £5500. All but 1 with less than 50k.
MKIII 138
im emabarassed to say but i was offered 6k trade in price for my MKII 172 with 30k only late 2003 model so as you can see if i did trade at that price (bought for 12k) then i would have lost 50% value in 16months.
im just gonna keep. shame as i only owe 7k on finance now so if i they had offered me 7k trade in i would be driving a 182cup right now. as it is i think ive just missed out boo hoo !
on a plus note my cars a beast. and ive learnt that £400 per month (fuel,loan,insurance,roadtax etc..) just for a clio is way too much, especially when ive just bought a house and now have mortgage repayments.
nxt car is a derv methinks.

Might think about selling mine soon - Its a very very low milage 53 Cup if anyones interested.
Hi
Im new to the forum, just registered a min ago. Love Clios especially 172 cups, think in standard form they look amazing, the wife does seem to think they look like any other blue clio...shell get over the bruises..
I agree about the cup selling thing, I think the whole market is slightly dented at the mo, the 172 cup is a nice car but for a niche sector plus people want a bargain.
But its demoralising though when no one phones up about your pride and joy.
Good luck..

Depends what Audi it is! Some arent amazing either.
Ive seen early A3 1.8Ts going for less than their VW brothers. Not sure why?!?!?!
The trouble is, the 172/cups are aimed at the people who want small hot hatches. As they are ins. grp 16, this makes it pretty hard for anyone under 20/21 to get a decent quote, and people 25+ can get a much quicker car due to insurance being cheaper.
When they start to come down in price, like they have been lately, they will be much more viable for the younger age range who wants them. This happened with dare I say it, the saxo. There are floods of them around now, as they are very cheap.
Edited cos I cannot spell!
