Reasonable price for 182

[Carlv8415]

Still debating about upgrading to a 182. Anyone know the average price for a good one. I seen some ranging from £1500 all the way up to £5500.

I was thinking around £2500 to £3000?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks

Yeah, your price is about right for a tidy example.

I wouldn't pay more than 3k and if I did i'd want a recent cam belt change by someone who knows what their doing and a long service history. If you don't mind buying privately and being cheeky you'll be surprised how much money some people will knock off their asking price. For example I managed to get a 54 plate 182 FF 58k on the clock, very recent cambelt and not a mark on it for £2200 when he was asking £2800.

 

[imprezaworks]

I would say around three ish. But tbh there are so many variables

 

[Bluebeard]

Unless you're very lucky, you can't buy a decent 182 for under £3k.

By decent, I mean it needs nothing spending on it!

People overlook discs, pads, rear shocks, engine mounts, dephasers, belts.... That's probably £1000 worth of work on its own!

 

[imprezaworks]

True words. It can be a minefield

im with dan.

 

[Bluebeard]

im with dan.

Sorry mate, i'm married.

(Your car sounds fcuking EPIC!! by the way. Like a fcuking rally car! Turbo spool, popping, cracking... Love it!!)

 

[STEVOM]

Have to agree also I picked up a clean 54 plate RB at £2400 thinking I had got a bargain, exhaust was totally shot lasted a week, wheel bearing collapsed meaning new discs, new plugs, and a few niggily bits and i was soon a £1000 less off!!! Just a word of warning

 

[Bluebeard]

People that look after their cars properly don't sell them cheap.

Everything (usually) is cheap for a reason.

 

[vxt172]

you gets what you pays for, yeah there are 1*2's for as little as £1200 but you will be throwing money at it for that price.

 

[George182]

I haven't seen a remotely decent 182 for less than 3k. As everyone has said, you get what you pay for.

 

[imprezaworks]

If I put mine up for sale It will be 3250, worth that all day long imo

 

[Bluebeard]

I won't be selling mine for a penny less than £3000. It's got over £5,000's worth of reciepts with it! Literally no expense spared!

 

[imprezaworks]

What you dan a 182 for sale?

 

[Bluebeard]

Yeah, but my dad's borrowing it until the 17th jan.

It was for sale on here not long ago.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah yeah I remember, looked nice.

 

[Austin-182]

Would not let mine go for less than 5.5

 

[CrippsCorner]

My first 182 cost me £6,000 and it was an absolute s**tter! Fell apart in 6 months...

My second 182 cost me £1,850 and hand on heart it's been one of the best, most reliable cars I've ever owned, I'm hoping this will be the longest I've ever kept a car.

So there are good deals out there!

 

[imprezaworks]

Would not let mine go for less than 5.5

5500?

 

[Carlv8415]

Oh one I looking at is 05 182FF 48,000 miles full service history but and there is a big but! Never had any of the belts changed, dent in rear quarter, cracked front splitter, perished steering wheel and general cosmetic bits and bobs. Guy said he wanted £4000 for it so I told him where to stick it! But going to see if I can get him down on price. I don't mind buying it for like £2000 spending £1000 getting it all done because its would still be a good price.

 

[imprezaworks]

To give you an example. Mine is an 05 ff inferno, fsh by Birchdown, belts done by them, no dents, few stone chips on the front, needs nothing, 63500 miles and its 3250. Think it's sold mind. Oh and immaculate with a few subtle mods.

 

[Carlv8415]

Yh if the car had the belts done and was in good condition then I would accept £4000 but it isn't in good condition and its going to cost £1000+ to put right so like I said £2000 was a good offer

 

[imprezaworks]

Will give you a clue he's not going to knock two grand off. And regardless of the work it needs I'd be pissed if someone offered me that, no offence btw

 

[imprezaworks]

Just buy one that hasn't got a list of issues

 

[Carlv8415]

Well I did say push comes to shove I would do £2500

 

[Carlv8415]

Like somebody said you can get decent ones what need no work for £3000

 

[imprezaworks]

Find one then lol. I can't understand why your even contemplating the one in question. It needs work, and is overpriced.

 

[Carlv8415]

Because I know the owner well enough to know he will give me a good price

 

[imprezaworks]

He looks after his cars?

 

[Carlv8415]

Apparently not with all the little marks on it but it has got a full service history and is all standard

 

[imprezaworks]

Maybe I've under valued mine then lol. Good luck with the search matey

 

[Carlv8415]

Yh just been looking at them on price sales and they all seem around £3000 but I'm no expert. He getting a brand new car so will probably sell it at trade in value so. Cheers and thanks for your advice.

 

[imprezaworks]

No worries matey

 

[Stefan.]

dear oh dear!! i agree with 'imprezaworks'

I think at this rate il never be getting rid of mine for the prices they are fetching!

 

[Carlv8415]

Yh prices for 182's have slammed due to the 197 being out for a while now so cheaper

 

[Carlv8415]

Well cheaper in general but cheaper than the 182,s

 

[imprezaworks]

The thing is what to buy that competes.

 

[Stefan.]

The thing is what to buy that competes.

exactly, there isnt for me. it would have to be focus rs mk1, golf r32, e36 m3 all roughly 7k onwards for a good one besides the m3 (that will just cost 7k to fix if goes wrong ha)

 

[DannyR]

They also would require a higher insurance premium.
