why so cheap?

[Luke20]

Ive not been looking at 172s for long so im not fully in tune with the market but this seems cheap for the mileage?

It is a little worrying that the ding on the rear quarter isnt pictured and is it me or does the steering wheel look like its done alot more than 46k miles?

Steering wheel does look like its done far more than 46k

i looked at buying this. he has no previous history, no idea if cambelt has been done, no old mot ( say hpi clear so milage verified- but i didnt think that always worked)

and for 7 owners i cant believe it......

but i would buy a car with no history...

No history, phase 2 rear end (tailgate and bumper) and 7 owners???

Oooft. Seems a right gem! lol.

thats for sale in the next village to me! when i seen it i asumed it had had a rear ender, and the wheels do not suit it at all!
id stay away!

You'll get a Ph2 for that money in current climate if your willing to travel, again make sure the all important belts have been done.
I wouldn't touch one with 7 keepers.

Its a good looking car bar the wheels (but those would be worth enough to get you a set of what ever you wanted)

The steering wheel is a bit of an odd one if I'm honest, the seats say it has only done the 46k mileage, but the wheel is fubar'd so god knows, some tasteful mods (the wheels and bumper both being OEM) but with 7 owners I would guess there is an underlying problem with the car. (so it keeps being sold on)

As for no service history, I wouldn't go near any car without one, along with no MOT's meaning the mileage couldnt be verified.

If you can get the V5C reference number, then you can check its MOT history here http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp

But personally, wouldn't bother. If you've got even a little bit of doubt, walk away.

Steering wheel looks about right for 46k
