Third Time Lucky?

[jesus]

Some of you may remember my past 2 Clios, and that I've not had a brilliant history with them;

So here's hoping that my new Trophy will do me proud.

Picked it up on Sunday, 66k miles, belts just been done, FSH, 3 owners, private plate £3800. Bargain.

Oh, and it has a Yozza too

Needs a few things attending to, like the exhaust mounts sorting and straightening up, tailpipes polishing, debadging/sticker coming off etc.

All in good time...

 

[Tunst]

Why so cheap?!

 

[Kane.]

How much? :O

I take it you don't have the Panda anymore?

 

[aucky]

Jeez. Trophy prices are pathetic now.
I remember thinking after 6 months ''I could actually sell it for what I bought it for''

In that last 3 months they have all lost about £2k. I won't be selling mine ever now, its worth more to me as a car than than cash.

Nice buy btw

 

[jesus]

Sold the Panda last month some time. I still had my insurance policy running so thought I might as well buy a car to put on it this is my 7th car in 2 years of driving haha.

They are getting cheap aucky but some people refuse to go cheap so they still are worth a lot more than 'normal' 182's. Think I found it at just the right time tbh, the buyer had just had a baby needed something bigger, so just needed shut.

 

[TonkaTruck]

What a bargain!!!!

 

[Dweeb]

the all black one is sweeeet!

 

[Wick]

Bargain!! Cannot believe they can be had so cheap now!!

 

[Kieran..]

Billy bargin!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Bargain!! Cannot believe they can be had so cheap now!!

They arent generally that cheap, but this bloke (if its the one on cliotrophy.co.uk) was more than desperate for the cash.

Billy bargain.

 

[welshname]

Never realised you had an all black 172. Nice.

 

[Cliotoby]

f**k these are cheap. Im sorely tempted to buy one and run it for 6 months to see what the fuss is all about.

 

[Stefan.]

nice find, but those exhaust tips dont look like yozza's?? maybe its because how black they are ha

 

[Rubicon_]

Bargain!

Looks spot on to.

 

[welshname]

nice find, but those exhaust tips dont look like yozza's?? maybe its because how black they are ha

I've heard that thing. There is no doubt it is a Yozza. Loud as s**t and it's not even decatted.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Awesome purchase, ive noticed the price of these falling lately since my bro sold his. Low mileage minters still fetch very good money though.

 

[Edd]

Seems like a really good buy, I assume it is HPI clear? What price was it advertised at?

 

[.GAZ.]

Cat C on Vcar :O

That my Ph1 I can see?

 

[bennno2005]

If its HPI clear then its a billy bargain!

 

[welshname]

I've just done a check in work not showing as a Vcar.

 

[.GAZ.]

LOL

 

[Weeman]

I prices have dropped as the suspension has started failing.

 

[is1]

I prices have dropped as the suspension has started failing.

Bit of a generalisation! Prices have started falling because many of these have had 4/5/6 owners in 5 years and are in awful condition, missing splitters, in one case missing Recaros, modified, Cat. C/D, repainted etc. and no-one wants to pay big money for that together with the "well I can get a 197 for that much" line.
I would have thought the same happened with 5 Turbos, 205 GTIs etc. Give it 4 or 5 years and advertise one with 50/60,000 miles and a nicely documented history and it will sell in a day. What price an original Williams, R5 with a couple of owners and 60,000 on the clock backed up by paperwork?
All such limited cars have a value curve, they're good shortly after launch, they then nosedive as a new model is released, then when everyone realises how good they are prices firm up significantly.
The key is keep it standard and its maintenance history transparent.
I genuinely don't think we will see its like again. Most of the recent "hot" hatches are more like executive cars - bluetooth, auto boxes, leather, 18 inch wheels, no thought to suspension tuning.

 

[Feirny]

Worth less now Jamie has owned it.

 

[Gaz85]

God that's cheap

 

[jesus]

Fully HPI clear (cheeky c***s), everything is as it shoud be etc. Belts all just been done

It's definitely a Yozza. I've sorted out the tailpipe sagging and am going to give it a good polish over the weekend. It sounds mint!

 

[DB.]

Nice!

 

[maynard]

Recognise that car....jealous!

 

[Owen]

How cheap! You got an awesome buy there mate.

 

[Tyssen]

Saw it on facebook.....not too shabby like.
I go through phases of loving trophys and then dont like them as much!!! least you back in the "clio club" now

 

[AK]

HTF did you get back?

 

[Tyssen]

HTF did you get back?

I never left.......
P.S was here before you so hush!!

 

[Wick]

They arent generally that cheap, but this bloke (if its the one on cliotrophy.co.uk) was more than desperate for the cash.

Billy bargain.

Sorry should have said cannot believe they can be had so cheap (on occasions). I still see a few on CT.net floating around the 7k marker!

 

[jesus]

It wasn't off CT, I just got lucky I guess. Was on Pistonheads for £3950.

 

[joe18two]

the black 182 looks good m8 nice stance

 

[VIICarCare]

very nice! what happened with your last two clio's?

 

[Mr Burns]

What was up with the Panda?

 

[chriscummins7]

Nice, now don't f**king break it! :rasp:

 

[mas]

Buy it from a girl in the Warrington area? I recognise the plate

 

[welshname]

You cleaned that Yozza up yet Jamie?
