which car? help!!

[Alex5]

wonder if anyone can help?
im about to purchase a 182 and iv got two options,

either a

DEALER - 2005 RB 182 cup with painted black wheels, 70k miles and belt done, for £4000

or

PRIVATE - 2004 arctic blue 182 ( no cup packs) with painted black wheels. 70k miles and belt done for £3400

im stuck, obviously its a big price difference and from what i know their isnt really much different between cup and non cup. i just love RB but maybe its not worth the extra £600.

edit - the RB cup is from a dealer and the AB is private

what are your thoughts would love some help!

Come resale time, The cup will be easier to sell. Its also a year newer.

The fact its a cup Hinders it but not as much as arctic blue. For some reason people really don't like that colour. (No idea why, I love it)

 

[Alex5]

what about black? hows the resale on that? black with black wheels looks good

 

[Bluebeard]

Any black car sells well. Best selling colour.

The RB cup for me.

Which has the best service history and when was the last one done, also when and where did the belts get done.

Plus extra £600 do you get any warranty with the RB?

 

[Alex5]

the RB cup belt was done at 66000 miles and its only 70000 at the moment, the arctic belt was done at 56000 and its on 70000 at the moment.

i dont think i would get any warranty from the dealer unless i paid extra.. you know how dealers are

service history im not sure..

I would go for the RB Cup

 

[Alex5]

why?

 

[Sarah182Cup]

Because Belt was done only a few thousand miles ago, its a year newer and i like the colour.

 

[Glenn182]

I would go for the RB Cup

Me too

If service history was equal I'd pay the extra and go for RB! Better colour, better spec if it is cup packed rather than a cup, I wish I'd have held out for an RB!!

 

[Alex5]

its a cup rather then cup packed but u only loose climate and the lights i guess, RB seems to be popular!

tell dealership you have see a 182cup for £600 less than what theirs in and see if they give you warranty are knock the price down to match
