What is it with 172 cup prices?

[White16valver]

Mostly agree, we all underprice

But trophy > phase 1 > full fat 182 > 172 cup for me

I'm surprised you put the 'lardy' FF 182 over the 'lightweight' 172 Cup in your list, given you own/drive stripped out crazy things. Are you going soft in your old age?

 

[Coops Mk1]

@White16valver not really, just never really liked the cups, 172 or 182, just don't appeal to me

 

[R3k1355]

172 Cup and 182 Cup are worlds apart tho

 

[Krarl]

Anyone wanna buy a BG 182?

No pics but its deffo worth 3 grand because it's been owned by a forum member...

 

[Martin_172]

172 cup is the MK2 to own for me! I liked mine the best followed by my ph1 172 then my Trophy

 

[Stay Puft]

I want one

 

[dann2707]

They are the best of the 2.0 clios. I wouldn't let mine go for less than £5k and its tatty with 120k on the clock.
Tbh Rs owners have been under pricing their cars for years. Good on those for asking strong cash for their cars.
Tbh the vw lot have been over pricing crap ltd editions for years. Golf edition 30 anyone?

Dont worry mate I don't think you'd have to worry about it going anywhere 😂

 

[BaileyWolves]

I have had loads of cars and in all honesty my cup is one the best I have owned not the quickest by any means but overall handling ect and I love the colour I keep looking at other cars but what I have invested into the cup makes me want to keep it

 

[DoubleTime]

The cups are definitely going up in value now, or should I say, going up in asking price....

Whether that is due to the recent hype surrounding the clios on Pistonheads or the time people have on their hands with being locked down but a lot of people saying they are on the hunt for a RS clio and I can remember deliberating when I was looking r.e. boggo 172 or cup but knew when the right cup cropped up that I had to have it and was willing to pay a bit more than the 172 for it.

I wouldn't let that car go now for less than £4K and even then it would take some convincing.

 

[Macphail]

I've been on the hunt for a valver but a 172 cup would where I would go if i start looking at MK 2's. I do like the Trophy though.

 

[Crybert]

I’ve had both a 172 cup and trophy and an e46 m3. I seem to sell them as prices bottom out😂. Every one of them has been sold on after me either the same price or higher with more miles.

 

[Superwoman90]

Advertising for strong money is one thing, but selling it is another.

Agree with this, Impreza P1's are advertised for unbelievably stupid money but whether they sell is another matter all together. The 22B's were going through the roof for a short spell but appear to be coming down but still way too high.

 

[Alastair.]

Wish I never sold my 172 cup, one of my favourite cars.
Paid £800 for it in 2015, spent £500 on it and many man hours. Sold it mid 2016 with 120k for nearly £2,500, was properly mint too.

 

[yeecup]

the cup in the classifieds on here was bought for £1600 on ebay iirc was one owner car and needed work, its been tidied up belts etc and now up for £4500 on ebay, looks a nice one.

Sounds fair

fresh import 22b with 17k on it just listed on ebay for £105k, so maybe not coming down after all. lol you would be mental to pay that for an impreza tbh. especially when you can get a mint type r or type ra for £15k

 

[imprezaworks]

The 22b will always be classed as the daddy.

Would love a type r

 

[bashracing]

Was offered a type r for £2.5k in 2008 when the economy was s**t, needed an interior as it was stripped ready for a track conversion but owner lost his job, unfortunately I was also skint and not sure was happening with my job so left it.

I give it to nearer the end of the year before all the "toys" are for sale on ebay by people that are struggling financially

You crazy??
It maybe 105k now but in 20years its will have doubled if not tripled in price. The ultimate of all the Impreza, full stop. This was the pinical of the WRC Subaru era with Colin at the wheel driving like a nutter.
Type R or P1 is a cheapmans version.

I had a TypeRA brilliant car but only a shadow of the 22b

In 20 years time we might just have paid back all the cheques the government has just written to us with our own cash, lol.

If you say so. Prices now are stupidly inflated especially in the current climate of impending recession. Might be worth 105k in 20 years
