Sold my 182

[Woof]

This week ive sold my 182
Im in the process of buying a house with my girlfriend, and honestly couldnt afford to have thousands tied up, and depeciating, in the 182. It was a hard decision to sell, and for the first time in 3 years ill be clio-less.

Tomorrow i have the sad task to cleaning her out, before i take it to the dealer and exchange it for a 206 and a cheque for £3k.
I test drove another clio, but it just reminded me of the 182 so i settled for the Pug as the dealer wanted the 182 before it went over 10k and their were solicitors bills to pay.

One good thing i suppose, the 206 is not black, so will stay looking cleaner for longer than 30 seconds

My 182 - 23rd March 2004 to 14th June 2005

So what you get for the 182, miles, age, condition etc.

I was looking to sell my 182 or chop it in, but was offered £8900 for a March 04 182 with Both Cup Packs with 19k on clock.

Good luck with the house, you can always get a good deal on a clio once you are settled in that what we did

Awww shame - Im hoping to move soon, and theres no way Ill sell my Clio to pay for anything!

You can always buy another one..

shame to see it go, guess sometimes sacrifices have to be made. Hopefully ill have the loan cleared when i move out so the car wont owe me anything and i wont have to part with it.

You have done the right thing,im sure your time will come again to get another nice car.

Just think,you will be making money insted of losing it now

Id choose a house over any car any day of the week.

Your car looks so shiny and gorgeous!

Was it really worth it for £3,000?

 

[mr sheep]

Chop in the 206 and go back to a Mk1 172, go on, you know you want to!

gutted for you m8, its exactly what I ded when I first moved house but you have to get your priorities sorted. I was completely carless for 6 months saving up to move. Once youve been in your house a year all the major expense should have been and gone by then, look at the situation again.

I would of defo go back to the Mk1 172 or the Hybrid if downgrading
