Mate we've all done that .I saw a new one i wanted only 6 weeks ago , sold my car on autotrader and the one i saw was sold ,lol. Just have a look about , get to know what a good car should look like and what a car thats been hammered looks like . Maybe even take a test drive in a couple .

Just don't jump at the first car you see when you get the cash together cos it looks nice n shiny . Take a mate with ya , cos a second pair of eyes might spot something you've missed when you've already made your mind up its the car for you .

 

[cosworth]

Sleep? Its for wimps

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Fly 2-3 times a month just to keep current on types, actually get up tomorrow, jolly to IOW for lunch! Flew last week to Southend from Brighton in 22 minutes to shop for my birds bday!

 

[p3rcy1]

[cosworth]

[MRBILLYUK]

So are they guys in the Renault garages , but they don't have a fuckin' clue what they're doin' half the time ,lol.

Not sayin that you don'tknow what your doin' .

Good luck with your car search mate when it comes time to part with your hard earned . If you could stretch to a 182 they're a miles better car than the 172 , ask Cosworth lol

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Anyway , thats me hittin the hay . Good night chaps

 

[p3rcy1]

i cant afford a 182 yet mate or id have one nite mate

 

[sh33n]

I reckon you could get a decent clean example for 5k.

 

[Ads_172]

Yeah, 5k is a good marker, their value shouldn't drop much below that for a while. I'd be tempted not to pay much extra for different colours, just seems a bit silly to me!

 

[Ali]
