Will I get...

[Tunst]

A decent FF Racing Blue for Circa £3500?

Wanting rid of the Meg its just not the car for me.. I considered a Diesel BMW but things have changed, miles have been slashed so I want to get back behind the wheel of a Clio..

So will I get a decent RB for £3500?

 

[MartinR]

Yep! you should get a not too far off minter!!

 

[Tunst]

Just what I wanted to hear!

Looking on PH etc RB seem to be circa 4k and a dreamer at 5k!

Mate of mine just picked up a Titanium 182, absolute minter for around that price. Just keep looking. You will find one soon enough. Tried Pistonheads??

 

[lemonnobby]

Personally speaking no you won't.

 

[Nashy]

Colour *****!! Just find the best 182 for the budget!!

 

[amh82]

Don't know about RB, but I know where there's a nice BG 182 FF for £3k

RB is a lovely colour though. Prices for 182's seem to be all over the place at the moment, some low miles 182's up as high as £4.5-5k, and some that look reasonable for as little as £2k.

 

[Tunst]

Iv had 4 black cars in a row its time for a colour change

As for prices i know what you mean.. But i think the ones above 4k will be punching above there limit tbh. Tht basically trophy money

 

[amh82]

I agree mate, if I was looking to spend £4k on a 182, I'd certainly want to try pushing my budget to a Trophy, but everyone has a budget to stick to I guess - and a £4k Trophy would no doubt need some money spent on it.

 

[Tunst]

Yeah no doubt.. I dont mind a bit if work, got my own garage so can do alot of the work myself

 

[Gally]

Titanium would be the other choice but RB is proper nice tbf. Titanium can and does look superb after a detail and with cup packs. Plenty around.

I'm not an Arctic Blue fan.

 

[Wick]

Bottom one you've linked mentions a cambelt. Personally I'd hang on for one on here in the classifieds.

 

[Tunst]

I think titanium will be my second choice Gally.. Iv always been a fan of RB so will try find a decent one before I attempt a titanium... Need the meg fixed up and sold asap...

 

[Nashy]

Titanium is the one you should go for!! Get that meg sorted now!!

 

[Tunst]

Shut it you.. Im going to book it in later!

 

[Nashy]

You just need that little push!!

 

[amh82]

What's up with the Meg?

 

[Tunst]

Caught the rear arch on a wall yesterday booked in on monday to have it sorted..

 

[plymcl172]

I don't know why people are so bothered about colours, I mean buy a car from new if you are that fussed

sure its better to have a car that is in decent nick than a colour choice that you want but it needs ££££'s spending on it.

Also don't rush into buying a car, the worst thing you can do

'good things come to those who wait'

This is good advice!

Im looking at the moment and there's any amount to choose from. Don't touch the RB for 1995 which needs jobs. I contacted him, sounds like a heap.

Shame mate So you've fell out of love with it already? I was seriously considering a Meg 225 as a slightly larger replacement for my 182, but have decided on a small estate now.

 

[Tunst]

Yeah, just wasnt the car I expected to be.. The power is great etc but its just not as fun to drive as the clio etc...

 

[Stu172cup]

There s a Trophy on Ebay at the moment - in a renault dealer takin in part ex - 3695 - if i had the cash id have his arm off

There you go. Could be worth a look in.

Belts done in Feb with dephaser, good mods. This is the one I had in mind on my earlier post but when checked it had been withdrawn from sale. Downside is it's down south.

 

[Eddie.]

I will be selling mine in about 2 months or so.

But I will want more like £4k tbh.
