Where to find a Clio 182?

[w44ne g]

I've been searching the AutoTrader, Pistonheads and eBay for a Clio 182 with the Cup suspension pack. I've found the odd one that fits the bill but after speaking to the sellers, the cars tend not to be what they first seem in the adverts.

Can anyone recommend other places to search for one?

I'm looking to spend less than £5k and less than 50,000 miles.

I think you'll struggle for a decent 182 with its belts done for nder 5k imo. For a decent one your looking 5.5k..... The belts is a good £400 job if your not aware. Also, most dealers put Cup in their advert for any 172/182 Clio, very annoying

I've found the opposite so far... none of them seem to even know what "Cup" means lol.

Yep, you aren't wrong there!

I'm just keeping an eye out for now so hopefully the right one will turn up

Looks good- turn up & haggle to 4.6k- theres your £400 for the belts

Artic blue- least desirable colour though-

Rang about that one before funnily enough.

It's got outstanding finance that needs to be paid off and he won't drop the price as a result. Also has had 5 owners.

Sounds okay apart from that but does need belts doing like you say.

You would be a mentalist to turn a car away over the sake of 7,000 miles :S

I haven't turned it away mate

Thing is, I've only been looking for 2 days and already have found several cars with the mileage I want at the price I want. There are PLENTY of 182's for sale so I can be picky... I do a lot of miles as we go away a lot of weekends so the less miles it's got, the better it is for me.

As Danny said mate you'd be mad to turn down a car for the sake of a few miles. IMO if you know the car has been well maintained thats much more important...

 

[Poopensharten]

Also to add, id be buying one off here as the chances are you will be able to look through the sellers previous threads and posts to see if the car has had any previous faults/problems etc

I'm confused ... You've either found some cars within your price range or you haven't. Yes there are alot of 182's in the market but unless you can find a desperate seller you may have to pay a bit more for a genuine car thats been looked after - its not rocket science

Okay mate, I do understand the way buying a car works... this will be my 22nd car and I'm 26.

My question in the first place was simply if anyone could recommend other places to look for 182's other than the places I've been looking. I'm not in any desperate rush and there really are lots of cars out there.

Someone has suggested the sales forum on here which I actually forgot about so that was a good tip... thanks.

on a side note i've just this second spoken to Clint Eastwood, he's filming outside my work in london. I should of asked if he wanted my 182
