Why is this worth so much?

[ex-Chinese Dave]

Am I missing something here? I sold mine more than 5 years ago for £2.5k (needed belts doing) and it has similar miles on it and only 2 owners. I noted they say 'jacking kit' as though its something extra. Maybe they just have no idea. I mean, it's not a Trophy or a Williams, is it?

Low Miles.
FSH.
Looks like a considerable overhaul late last year.
And PLENTY OF CAPITAL LETTERS.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Well over priced imo. £3500 overhaul? I'd be interested to know what exactly was done for that money. Why would you spend that then sell it a few months later?

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol at the price

 

[VenomUK]

Also advertised on Piston Heads, that alone means its worth big cheese

 

[Silent_Scone]

I'd rather have the flamer Ant has up for sale on here than that thing. Half the price, too.

 

[R3k1355]

Humm cheapo 182 Cup for Trophy money?

Amazing deal.

 

[cat171]

I reckon it's about £4000 over priced.

 

[BaileyWolves]

I have spent over 3,500 grand on mine since I had it but we all know this doesn’t mean it will sell for 7k yes will make it stand out and be great for selling but 🤷‍♀️

Why? I'll go with this...

delusion /dɪˈluːʒ(ə)n/
noun: delusion; plural noun: delusions

an idiosyncratic belief or impression maintained despite being contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder.

 

[R3k1355]

Also clearly unaware the 182 Cup wasn't quite as special as the 172 Cup.

RENAULT CLIO 182 CUP (LIGHTWEIGHT)

 

[Coops Mk1]

it's not, hence not sold

 

[K4M_clio]

All that money and no engine cover or a tidy bay, unbelievable. You won't even pat that for a pb or ly in same condition

 

[R3k1355]

The Cup didn't come with an engine cover did it?

 

[bashracing]

172 cup didn't , 182 cup did

 

[Stevej172]

Thing that confused me with this advert was it starts by saying it has been maintained thoroughly from new with great history...... but then at 51K miles its had a £3500 overhaul???

I cannot think why one of these would need that amount of work carried out if it has only done 51000 cared for miles

 

[E11OOT]

I engaged the seller, as i'm in the market for a clean RB.

There isn't much movement on the price. So I didn't chase it any further.

As said, very much on the high side but someone might come along and take it.

Someone with too much money and not alot of sense lol.
Did they tell you what the £3.5k was spent on?

I didn't even dig that far into the conversation.

I imagine its this is where some of the 3.5k went?

To be fair it is a very clean car and it does look good from the outside with having the original splitter, washer blanks and strips but like its been said its over priced and into Trophy money.

I laugh to myself at people spending £££ on tax, petrol, storage, services, MOTs and then try to get all the money back, Its the joy of running costs and general maintenance of motoring.

10+ years and a folder worth £15k in invoices through me buying parts, general service's, tax , Insurance & MOTs so my car must be worth £22k

Any takers 😂😂

 

[Stevej172]

Looking at the quality and layout of the add, I am guessing that this is a private 'trader' that has bought the car due to its mileage. Then as gone to some effort and expense (£3500 apparently) to make it mint.

Fair play it does look very nice but only time will tell if they will get what they are after, I am guessing they might struggle.

He did mention he was in the "trade" when I discussed numbers with him

 

[cat171]

They didn't spend the £3.5k did they ? I imagine not.
It's always the same, list down a ton of money spent, always by the previous owner as they've only had it a short while.

 

[BaileyWolves]

I have spent over 4K on mine myself and have every invoice filed with work done by specialist and receipts in order. If they are asking this type of money this is the minimum you would want to see as a buyer

 

[Steven103]

Remind me to advertise my car with a "fully overhauled engine" next time I change belts, oil & plugs...

 

[Darren61]

172 cup didn't , 182 cup did

182 Cup didn’t come with an engine cover. Maybe you’re thinking of a standard 182 with Cup pack?

It also didn’t come with items like the RenaultSport door sills, because #lightweight 😂

Although it wasn’t anywhere near the level of the 172 Cup weight shedding, it was lighter than the standard 182 model

 

[DomP182]

I cant see any car selling for top dollar right now nor would I consider selling one currently given the financial situation. My 172 is probably currently worth the same as the change I found down the side of the footwell carpet - 32p

I'll give you 50p for it. Save you the hassle of having to post in the time wasters when selling a car thread 👍😂.

50p and a 12 pack of toilet roll? It is flame red after all!

75p, 12 pack of toilet roll & 100ml hand sanitiser ?

If this keeps up it wont be long before I accept!

That is whats most laughable, no-one is going to be selling these stupidly over-priced cars the way things are going.

The same cars will probably end up on eBay, either get sold or the guy loses his house.

Exactly, even if things get desperate theres no point me even contemplating selling my car or bike right now, be better off holding out until things improve and sell for half sensible money then.
I'll only be buying them back in the future anyway

 

[R3k1355]

Yea considering everyone is either spending their money on stockpiling or simply just losing their jobs I can't see many buyers out there for mega over-priced French hatchbacks.

 

[ex-Chinese Dave]

I wonder if the price of used 182's will drop due to all the things affecting people to do with the virus...and other cars as well ?

 

[R3k1355]

They'll either drop or just won't sell.

 

[imprezaworks]

No imo

 

[DomP182]

I just wouldnt sell, after all this prices will bounce back. Optimism at its finest!
