Very cheap ph1 Flamer?

[Ian]

Can anyone shed some light on this for me please? Apart from their omission of the mileage it seems a very good price, especially as they'll part exchange?

Would love to own one of these, but it surely can't be right at that price?

as it mentioned no mileage im betting its pretty high

very good cars tho ph1 especially in that colour

 

[Ian]

I almost had a laptop covered in tea when I saw it Timmay, I need to get my hands on one before they're extinct! I daren't ring up to find out the mileage though cos I'll end up buying it. Such a rare car, but if I can find a low mileage one I'll keep it for years.

How come it has the little reflectors on the doors? Not seen that before.

 

[Timmay]

no harm in ringing up i guess - just to put your mind at rest if anythuing

im predicting 85k miles at least

 

[Ian]

Apparently it's gone off to the auctions anyway. The guy couldn't remember the mileage, but he seemed to remember it being quite high.

One less temptation for me

 

[Timmay]

ah well - im sure youll fnd one soon tho - prices have dropped on them

How gash are those wheels !!! I'd sell them on straight away & put a set of the original ones on it.

 

[Ian]

That was the plan I've got a set of ph2 172 alloys which would've gone straight on and then been swapped for the originals when a set came up.

Having looked through PH and AT I'm going to be extremely lucky to find a low mileage 172 anymore though I think. Might keep the 1.6 til it dies and go straight to a mk3 RS in a few years or something.

 

[Hawkeye]

Why dont you ask which auctions it went to,you might get it for even cheaper.

 

[Ian]

I dunno, is it worth getting a high mileage example? Think I'd rather hold off.

Suppose my net loss would be minimal if I sold the 1.6.. the only difference being the insurance really.

 

[Timmay]

there are still some ph1's about with sub 50k on em - hard to find - mind you i sold mine a few months ago to warren4 - that only had 48k on it

 

[R20 CWH]

im sure someone posted this up recently and had 130k on it

Alot of interest in Phase 1's these days!

 

[AlexS]

Its high mileage that one, to get one under 60k your looking at £3k.

Always had a soft spot for the ph1s Danny, for as long as Ive owned one.. so a whole 4 months lol. Before that I couldn't really see the appeal.

Worth paying the extra money for the lower mileage as far as I'm concerned . Will keep looking and saving.

Excellent mate, i have one aswell and i adore it.

I got mine in March for £3,850 One owner since new, with 44k on the clock, i thought this was damn resonable for what i was getting!

real fun to drive as well
