What is it with 172 cup prices?
- Thread starter Crybert
- Start date
Why not? Just because it wasn't in officially limited numbers?
It had a long list of different parts making it different from the standard model, so it was defiantly a 'special' production vehicle.
You mean the parts they removed? :wink:
It wasn't a special edition, the same way slapping a black wrap on a Corsa roof and calling it a Limited Edition is not a limited edition. It wasn't limited, those were just the numbers that sold...

On that basis so is a zetec focus, they have lowered stiffened suspension, different seats etc etc.
Thinner Glass
Weight Reduction though less sound deadedning, options removal and custom interior
Custom Colour
Custom Wheels
Custom Suspension Setup
Hand picked Inlets (Debated)
Granted it wasn't limited, it also wasn't just a sticker and wheels. How would you classify it then if not a special version?
The same way you class any other model that has upgrades - whether it be a RenaultSport, M3, Cupra R etc - extra stuff but not limied - special edition sure, but not limited edition because not limited
lol, So i corrected myself to special, you said not special, now say sure, its special. Make your mind up. :tongueout:
Their not "rare". If you decided tomorrow you wanted to buy a standard Cup you could find one no problems on the usual classifieds.
Now try finding a complete unchaved ph1 with original oz's by comparison and you'd be struggling.
Was only last year Cups were priced around 1 - 1.5k.

It's got some lovely touches, the carbon bits looks proper, not some DIY shite.

f**king how much pmsl. Low mileage "standard" and mint maybe but not with those kev trendy wipers and modifications.
Shiny cars dont mean they sell for more, maybe it does have paperwork but still does not command a premium like that.
I see it as a form of attention seeking lmao :wink:

Ok. Is the debate what word are we gonna use?
OK is not a limited edition but it is a special edition car.
Especially now that most off them or are been written off or are been made as track cars. Soooo as the numbers going down any car that remains as came out of the factory will worth more.

I guess I had the closest, mine was a 53 plate 172 cup with Climate control, heard there were a few 53 platers that had climate.
Guess it defeats part of the appeal of the 'cup' but I liked the colour :blush:
I do miss that car... WR53 UAM... wonder where it is now
Sorn and the MOT ran out December 2015.

Try finding a Cup that is low mileage, does have good service history, has original turinis and doesn't look rougher than a badgers arse. People's standard of 'mint' varies so much but for the most part even low mileage cars look terrible compared to the ones that have been shown some love. Agreed on the Ph1's though, they are a lot harder to find.

Cup 172
I sold my mint one which just had the turinis all refurbed and belts done for £2500 and I thought I was doing well at that.

Yours sold almost instantly though didn't it? because it was worth every penny and probably more IMO. Was a very nice car. There's a guy selling my old Cup atm on here, "J17 CUP" and he wants £2500 for it. I sold it two years ago for £2750 when it was mint. It looks pretty unloved now tbh. Don't think it's sold yet... good condition commands a higher price on Cups and all 1*2's

I've had 2 offers on the cup, but decided to keep it as I know I wouldn't find another like it.
Its a lovely cup yours, and like you say if you did sell it you would have to pay at least £3k for another one in similar condition.

I have to ask, why do people get so bent out of shape about what folk advertise their cars for? If you're not interested, move on.
I can't say i actually ever get a belting erection over someone selling their own car that they own at a price they see fit.
Some of you c***s need tasered at times.

In short, it a manufacturer wants to participate in a certain racing discipline, they have to release special edition models to do so.

Cups will Allways command a premium partly due to the fact normal 172's are ten a penny. Dropped the ball with the 182 cup but that's another thread.
Link?

You know how cats have 9 lives?
Clio 172 cups have 9 winters.
If it's only been out in 4 of them then that leaves 5 winters left before it spins into a ditch. That's where the value lies.

That's not strictly true. They didn't set out to make say 500 vehicles and close the books when the 500th order came in.

Nah there isn't one yet
172 Cup
Values will always be subjective to a point. I sold a nice P1 three years ago for around £8k. It was maybe a little low, I didn't advertise but it was an easy sale at a fair price. There's now examples up on Pistonheads with double the miles for £15k. I don't think they will sell for that but there's always a car or two that try to push the upper limit of the normal price bracket.
Admittedly, I'm biased. However for me the 172 Cup is the iconic mk2 Clio RS and is a car that is appreciated beyond the Renault fan base. It's unique in its own right and has a true motorsport connection, it's also (arguably) the most focused and hardcore of them all. These factors tend to result in a premium for good examples.
I would swap mine in a second for a Trophy however and if I was spending more than £4k that's what I would be after.
