Which would you prefer over these two 182's - both similar mileage

[Jamie _Swales]

This one has both cup backs and is from a dealer

This one has a new engine at 44k and from a private seller

Would it be a benefit that it had a new engine, or would you be wary of the fact?

(im getting my use out of my renewed membership with all the questions haha)

I'd but the top one, but no mention of cambelt etc?

Second one has no cup packs and fucked exhausts.

I'd say the engine was a bonus. Cup packs isn't a big deal if you have any plans to mod the suspension, no cup packs would actually be an advantage.

 

[Jamie _Swales]

Probably will be putting it on coilovers at some point and painting the wheels anyways.

So you think the engine is a bonus?

Whys the exhaust fucked?

 

[Wests Renault]

2nd one looks like a good buy to me

 

[ForceIndia]

One tailpipe extends way more than the other.

 

[sideways danny]

2nd one without blinking. Cup packs are no advantage if you plan to mod at all

 

[MrTurner]

Neither are that far from you, go and check them both out. A replacement engine would worry me as you're going by small info there, has it got any warning lights? Has the seller just taken nice pics outside some place to advertise? Is it a ringer? I did a 300 mile round trip to look at a 182 today, luckily it was tidy so I left a deposit!

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

dude, i nearly bought this one. Its got some problems, both drivers side tyres are almost bald! and the dealer was a T**T when i brought this to his attention. He became mega defensive and said i dont want to sell you the car (odd for a salesman eh)! very strange...

sorry this is for the first car 8-P

 

[Laine_16v]

2nd one looks like the owners have a massive house and are minted to f**k, so probably been looked after meticulously

 

[Jamie _Swales]

Will go have a look at the 2nd one then, seems a good price if i can gte it for £3500ish

 

[Jamie _Swales]

#there is also this one aswell now

^^ that needs more pics and youd get it sold no hassle.

Scottish plates, registered in Glasgow. Ill guess at Pollokshaws Road Arnold Clark

Is that your car? If so have you had it for sale for a while now? I'm sure its one I emailed about a while back when I was looking for one? Its not had the cambelt done yet has it?


(Please note I may be completely wrong, and this may not be the car I'm talking about!)

 

[MK4CRAIG]

Probs not me pal as i've only had the car up for sale for the last 6 days .

 

[SteveS Cup]

The second one has the spoiler cup pack, I'd get that one esp if you're sticking it on coilies.

 

[one in a million]

go for trade mate, i just purchased a 182 from a trader and as soon as i got home the alternator went, it only got 24k on the clock, but i didnt have to pay out for the new part as its covered through the trade warranty. so it might be worth spending that little bit more just to play it safe

 

[one in a million]

both look nice tho
