There are 95k ones for sale atm for 4.5-5k. That seems cheap.

 

[Paprika123]

No Sachs, belts need done, missing trophy wheels...seems a tad dear IMO.

 

[letsturboit]

No sachs.

 

[LY04 GAV]

Yea I thought that I have just emailed them

Put of as it looks a little boy racer for me

No xenon , no turini's either

Just sent them a email any ways asking about 20 questions

 

[Paprika123]

Trophys never came with Xenons.

 

[182Trophy]

No sachs.

Ah. Then it is overpriced.

 

[LY04 GAV]

Sorry my bad I thought they did not really clued up on the spec off the trophy's,to be honest

Sachs front and rear dampers, eibach springs, v6 spoiler, recaros, cruise control and ABS, turinis in a lighter spec (6kg a corner iirc), cas red paint, cup chassis.

So thats basically a 182 in cas red with no xenons and needs its belts doing for 3 grand then ??????

ClioTrophy.co.uk has a register and there's a thread devoted to the life and times of 075. Definitely worth checking out if you're interested.

For me I'd want to cost up the price of buying replacement anthracite Turinis and front Sachs, plus getting the belts done by a specialist (not Renault themselves) and sorting the power steering issue. If you can buy it and get all that done for less than it costs to buy a sorted Trophy then it's a viable option.

The alternative is just buy a standard 182 / 182 Cup where you'll most probably see more value for money.

You also have to wonder why he is selling the Sachs not on the car.

Would have thought that a £3540 trophy with Sachs would be more appealing than a £3000 one without.

 

[coverman]

The Trophy Turinis are darker, not lighter, than 172 Cup ones!!.And there is no weight difference either

 

[dablk]

I think the suggestion was against 182 wheels.

 

[Mikeyjp]

Owner is a bit special I think, he took a perfectly good trophy and then sold the seat, wheels, and dampers for no apparent reason

Looks a bit chavved up to me.

special ? i believe about 50% of trophies sell the same way im selling the one that i have, mainly because there is no market for these any more, and idiots dont realise a well spec'd trophy to warrant handing over what it's actually worth,

and p.s the recaro's are still in it

 

[Mikeyjp]

no market for Trophys?? what?? i think you will find most dont sell that way....

but all that aside, it your car and you can do what ever you want to it, and you just do people like me a MASSIVE favor, because no mines worth a little more

 

[Krys_23]

Yes no market for trophies, most buyers have little or no idea what the difference is between one and a normal clio, hence why its difficult to earn back what its worth.

I'm certainly not doing you any favours pal, I still have all the trophy items available , in which i may put back on at a later date, will need to make my mind up with the car i suppose!

 

[masekwm]

No market for the Trophy? Crazy.

 

[182Trophy]

Trophy prices have apreciated over the last 2 years. That proves there is a market for them. The people who put down the trophy's are people who either havn't driven one or drove/drive a broken one.

 

[R-Sport.]

Lol at no market for trophys.

No market for sh*t cars
Always market for good trophys

 

[Krys_23]

Maybe its just where i'm based , and maybe a 160bhp n/a car with a bit of handling doesn't excite me that much any more

& about not driving one ive done a good 20k in a trophy, and actually had the shocks rebuilt myself so certainly not a 'broken' trophy.

 

[Stefan.]

Lol!!

There is always a market for good trophies

 

[Krys_23]

I agree a low mileage on around 60k or less may be worth money, but where I am its about a 600 mile round trip to get the belts done, then refurb turini's , paint handles , then once your £1500 is spent on a £3000 car your left with a 95k 182 that has cost you around 5k plus travelling etc

 

[Mikeyjp]

well thats what you get for living in the middle of nowhere :smile::tongueout:

 

[Mutch88]

dont worry guys, the little car has been rescued and is now in the safe hands of someone who appreciates it
