Trophy #60 (Cat C) - Just won this on eBay

[Oggy997]

Just won this tonight on eBay for £2k.

It's cat c and had a pretty bad writeup on here previously with people seeing it as a bad/cheap repair and no cambelt history.

Checked the later history on ClioTrophy and gaztubby had had the belts done, spruced up a little ---

have fitted a janspeed exhaust, a K & N panel filter and had both belts changed. All that is left is to get the wheels back to Anthracite and get a correct front bumper. Unfortunatly I am going to have to sell it as I need an estate car to cart my dogs around since the wife changed her freelander for a civic. I am looking for offers around £3600 if anyone is interested PM me.

Surely if this has S​achs and the Recaros - 2k can't be that bad a price!

Opinions?​

 

[sbridgey]

good purchase that i reckon. well done!

 

[Stay Puft]

That's a steal, if its been repaired and belts done, cat c really wouldn't bother me. I'd have paid £2k!

 

[Tommo.]

Nice buy. Can't go wrong at 2k really, like you say the 'trophy bits' are probably worth the best part of that.

 

[Chi]

I didn't even see that on eBay. Nice work

 

[dmallett]

Bargain, i wouldve paid £2k for that.

 

[Mikeyjp]

looks ok, did they smooth the washer blanks off? or wrong bumper?, looks like its on lowered springs too?

 

[sbridgey]

172 xeons too.

 

[Clio172T]

bargain, woulda bought that

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Bargain.

Sachs, Turinis, Trophy spoiler, Recaros and xenons are worth that about 2k anyway!

 

[Lal B3N]

Bargain even at cat c. I imagine you will get 2k back all day long in the future.

 

[imprezaworks]

Great price

 

[mossyv6]

Bargain, worth more in bits!

 

[Inequality Street]

I didn't even see that on eBay. Nice work

Probably for the best if you're honest, otherwise it would have been on your drive I'm sure!!

 

[mossyv6]

And I feel the price would have gone higher.

 

[Clart]

Thats been for sale for at least 18 months. Bargain at 2k though.

 

[Jay.S]

What a bargain I would of bought that had I seen it

 

[R-Sport.]

Have you actually bought it yet- the seller may decide to get funny because of the final Ebay price & not sell it.

[Oggy997]

Hes agreed for me to collect ot tomorrow, could have went today but the golf is in the garage

 

[George182]

Good price!

 

[Mark_P]

looks ok, did they smooth the washer blanks off? or wrong bumper?

That's what I was thinking. The only smooth ph2 1*2 bumpers are modified ones aren't they?

 

[Tim.]

Well it is Cat C so assume it was front-end accident damage and the bumper was replaced with something other than a precise like-for-like example.

Either way, looks to be a good bit of business OP, hope you enjoy your new purchase!

 

[cat171]

Looks a sweet buy for £2k - nice one!

 

[Stu172cup]

Steal at that Price

 

[Jay.S]

I'll give you £2100

 

[Bobby.]

LOL, was going to say the same ^^^

 

[Oggy997]

I might sell it as a quick turnaround.

Got a RB 182, 172 (off road), lupo gti and mk5 golf gti - now a Trophy.

Hard to decide what's best to do.

 

[Feirny]

You are a car *****, Sir.

 

[Fletcher]

Like others have said, good buy at 2k.

 

[Oggy997]

You are a car *****, Sir.

Partly your fault!

 

[Feirny]

Partly your fault!

haha, not guilty.

Put the Sachs, Recaros and Turinis on the RB and it'd be epic.

 

[Oggy997]

That is one of my plans, sadly I couldn't buy motivation right now!

 

[brucey106]

Good buy that boss,
Why do trophys look better with black wheels ???

 

[Bobby.]

They don't.

 

[Fletcher]

They don't.

This x100.

 

[jesus]

As above.

The price is about right for what it is/the condition etc. - only original looking ones or subtle mods (and not cat c) command a premium over 182s.

Still, it'd probably be worth around the same in parts so not a bad purchase.

 

[keifer1903]

Wana sell that spoiler good price though.

 

[brucey106]

They don't.

I guess I am wrong then lol

Personally I think they do

 

[Bobby.]

Each to their own

so OP, what you going to do with it? I'd be interested if you decided to sell.

 

[Oggy997]

Not 100% sure. I'd lose a months tax on it with it being so early in the month, so I'll keep the RB on the road until the end of the month and the Trophy in the garage. Tidy anything up that I can and service it while it's off road.

Then I'll sell it, break it, or sell the RB - Although I just put 4 new tyres on that and had a steering wheel refurb :/
