A little overpriced IMO.

 

[bsimmer3000]

for £2500 more ya can have my 182 cup with 11000 miles

I wouldnt pay that much.

£6.5~7k.

The Cups not that much different real. its slightly chnged but dont expect a completly different car.

 

[GarethM]

id try and see if you can get the price down to about 6.7k

plus with 40k seems a bit much

 

[Mondial172]

Too much!

 

[Clarkie172]

6.8k would be about right i think but then again its a dealer?

 

[Griff]

5k kick IS NOT VVT.

 

[DH_GTI]

aint it what is it then, i assumed it was (mother of all f**k ups)

id say get it for £6900 if its mint + FSH

....higher fuel mapping after 5k. VVT helps with fuel economy and smooth idle apparently.

I bought my 172 for 7600 with 20k on the clock and a 52 plate last November so its definitely too much for that car.
