Value of a trick 172

[DPA68]

Due to now doing 80 miles a day for work I may have to sell my beloved 172
50,000 miles 17 inch super turismos, Koni top adjustables, eibach sportlines, longlife exhaust, itg panel filter, remapped ecu, awesome wp pro 6 pots and 336 mm disks, clarion music catcher cd/mp3 player, etc etc!!!
The car is in excellent condition for the age both inside and out, I will be gutted to see it go. Would value the oppinions of everyone on here as to its value as there is approx 3 grands worth of extras on it. Anyone interested?

Sadly mods don't add to the value much, you'll be best selling the mods separately...

Agree

Your more likely to get a sale as well if you return the car to standard.

Parts definately better sold separately

Those modifications sound very good but they won't add much to the value unless you find a realy dedicated person. Much better getting the uprated bits off and swopping for standard.

Agreed

Thanks for your views. Might consider taking some of the bits off. Wheels, exhaust, and eibachs have to stay as nowt to replace them with. Has anyone got a value in mind for the car though as they seem to between 6 and 7 grand in the auto trader?

Cheers.

Bit hard to say with no idea of the year/plate mate

 

[DPA68]

Doh!! sorry 2002 on an 02 plate!

Why do you need to sell it just cause you are doing more miles?

I've never understood that? Wouldnt you rather do the miles in the car you enjoy driving? Instead of selling it and getting some s**t heap just cause you dont want to put miles on the clio.

Its only a Clio FFS, not like its a collecters car or anything which is going to get more valuable with age is it. Just keep it and stick the miles on it.

Id prefer a more comfortable quiet and touring style car if i was doing that milage daily. Something made for clocking miles on it like an Omega or even a Laguna.

 

[Trojan]

80 miles a day and I'd be getting an large oilburner most likely, for comfort and fuel economy.

 

[DPA68]

If it happens its being replaced with a seat cupra 150 diesel, and a revo remap.
Still got the performance and 55 mpg. Gonna have to slow down for roundabouts in it though, id forgotten what understeer was like!! Any takers on a fair price to advertise it at?

 

[Lagerlout]

£6k

 

[Shaun16v]

I'd have said around £5700 - £6200. As said above, the mods won't really help you get any more money for it unless it goes to an enthusiast

 

[Lunner]

Depends who's buying it tbh, personally i wouldn't give you 20p for a 172
