Thinking of reviving this sport....

[Whalli17]

his eyes look sad... and i can get him delivered to my door for £1,450.....is this too much?

purely cosmetic
Sill covers damaged, bonnet, bumper, door, crossmember.
Airbags dint go off.

I got cost to fix it around £400, if the parts were all the correct colour (optimistic)

Anyone know any underlying problems i may be getting into?

Do it if you can get it for under £1000.

 

[Tony Hunter]

LOL,he doesn't mention the door being damaged either.

Too much for that,as said nearer 1k might be worth it.

 

[Dafthead]

He looks PISSED!!

 

[Rudi]

i would just save a bit more cash up and get a straight one

i would be comfortable at around £800

 

[Wick]

Good god no. £1500 gets you a decent condition ph1!!

 

[Badgerman85]

anyone else notice the fact its described as being a "35 door"

 

[Adhall]

Id never touch anything thats had a front ender.
He says its only cosmetic damage but you dont know what problems have been caused with the ecu and electrics, timing
belts etc etc.
My throttle body started playing up and my dashboard was like an xmas tree. Id be careful, it could cause you problems in the long run with small faults etc. French elecritcs- not good!
Id go out and spend ur money on a mint ph1

90% of the time with a salvage car you only get 1 key and no paperwork. Not worth it IMO.

I'd sell you my 182 for £2600 ish if you are interested!

PM me ..

 

[pendulumx]

Lol, @ £1,495, I paid less than that for my PH2 and mine wasn't crash damaged.

 

[clancy]

wouldnt touch it, get a decent phase 1 for the money or or something that might need looking at (so a little project) but is structurally sound, like has a mechanical fault so is cheap

 

[not normal dan]

wouldn't be paying that for it pal, its ok him saying its purely cosmectic, what happens if when you start stripping it turns out to be a bit more? He aint gonna pay up i doubt, plus as said you can get some good non crash damaged ones for that!

 

[Adamm.]

Dont do it!!

 

[not normal dan]

theres over a grands worth there, that doors took whack an the sill!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Way overpriced, Worth about £800 IMO, Here is one for sale: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123#ht_1155wt_1185 Auction is ended but he will take £950. I nearly bought it but found a cup going for the same money in need of a respray.

 

[Carl-Tracked172]

Not worth it mate,

That's been on Ebay since i bought my 172 over a YEAR ago !! It's way over priced and i'm pretty sure there will be more than cosmetic damage looking at those panels.

 

[fletch8]

i was gonna say thats been on ebay for a while!

dont do it, you may get it looking half decent, but youll take another hit when it comes to selling it on!

 

[Whalli17]

Cheers, cant believe i was even contemplating it :headno:

I bought a mint phase 2 off a customer who needed the money for 1200 on a 52 with 80000 miles and full history belts etc all done! I only sold it for £1700 so there are some bargains out there to be had and that, quite frankly, isnt one!
You'd be into thousands by the time the front end is straight, decent paint job, and all the little expensive bits have been fixed!
My phase 1 cost me a grand 10 months ago too and there are loads of 172's on ebay for around 1500 quid they are cheap as chips now so no need to buy a wrecked one!
