What would you do?

[HOLLA]

Ive currently been looking at getting another Trophy as a weekend car/toy but thinking is it really worth spending the extra £1500-£2000 to get a decent one over a 182 with sensible mods? Or using the rest of the money to get mods done?

Ive had a Trophy and think its probably the best Renault I've owned. I basically have £5000 to play with and have been finding Trophy prices people want so much money for them. Even ones with fairly high mileage.

Any thoughts?

Get a good 182 full fat mate i know trophys are awesome but if your tracking it id personally get a FF 182 as it'll do pretty more excatly the same but for cheaper !!

James Trophy in the classifieds looks a decent buy/price, almost tempted to sell mine for it

I guess with the Trophy being the most desirable model they hold their premiums better.

Thing is you could probably get a lower mileage, better condition car for less money. I'd take a mint 182 over an average Trophy personally. Wouldn't take much to have it handing similarly.

Yeah Alex that does sound the better option and been looking around. I'm in no made rush so keeping the options open.

I costed up the mods for suspension, seats, wheels etc on a 182 and for the spec I wanted it turned out cheaper to just buy a Trophy.

Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I'd hijack this one..

I have been recently looking at replacing my 182 for a 182 Trophy, not for any major reason other than I just fancy a slight change. In all honest opinion how much better are they as a day-to-day car over a normal 182 (Non-Cup)? I doubt I'd ever be taking it on a track, it'd just be used at weekends as I cycle to work now.
