Will the Clio 182 end up like

[paul]

the Pug 205 GTI 1.9 :S

There arent that many good ones left imho! low mileage - when i say low mileage i mean less than 30k - if there are there either imports or no cup packs

Im glad i have a 05 Plate with 17k on the clock :approve: being that i only do about 5k a year! i can see me wanting to keep this one!

1600 posts yay!!

 

[Timmay]

i know what you mean

ive got low mileage on my 2003 172 - seems lots have hile mileage now

 

[paul]

^^ i know i would give my right arm for a well cared for - looked after Pug 205 GTI - i can just seen the 182 going that way say in 8-10 years!...a thing of the past and all that

Where they have all been trashed or thrashed!

 

[Fletcher]

Whats wrong with well looked after higher mileage examples?

 

[DrR]

So you'd rather keep it mint condition and not drive it now? mines gonna hit 70k i'd rather use it as much as possible now.

 

[paul]

Dont get all defensive guys...just i can see there not being many left in 8-10 years - well good ones anyway!

May be even 5 years!

[fUbAr]

I hear what you're saying...

but i don't want a 182 in 8-10 years time, i've got one now and i drive it with intent! :approve:

I agree mate, my mk2 172 is now on 80k, it does around 15-20k per year.

Although when she does reach 100k mark i'm going to get Megane R26, and only only drive the 172 evenings and weekends, as i don't ever intend on selling it.

Yeah i guess Fubar! but having an inferno in 5 years or more will be rather rear!! mine will only have about 40k on the clock

 

[Lagerlout]

And it'll still be worth peanuts.

Peugeot 205 - Iconic hatch

Williams - Iconic hatch

182 Cup - Ummmmm

The 172 Cup will be a different story though. Thats as close to the old school hatches as were ever going to see again.

Rear , what the f**k is that?

Anyway, I think the 205gti is a rarer car overall. I see very, very few of them on the road. I bet the 182 will have outsold the gti by many times in the UK market, making them much easier to find i reckon.

Secondly, i think to antcipate getting a low mileage, well maintained hothatch after ten years is always a difficult task.

Thridly, this is not a fair comparision the GTI has already been out of production 13/14years so how can you compare the 182 to that? (You mentioned above 5 years and 8-10).

 

[paul]

Most 172 cups have plenty of miles on them now- and have seen a rough life - there arent that many good ones left that have really been cared for!

That was my point ^^


Doh rare!

 

[Lagerlout]

But there were far fewer of them in the first place, like the 205's. 182's are the most common RS Clio ever.

 

[paul]

you say common ^^ but theres arent many inferno cups ^^ that havent at least been raged to death!

If its like this now! there will be hardly any in 5 years that was just my point

 

[Timmay]

true on the cup front - why go for s**t seats as well a s**t colour








joke!

well kept, low mileage, full service history and unmollested will demand the most dosh in years to come.

[benhwolves]

mine's 3 years old, unmodded, as new, 12k miles and i plan on keeping it - shame it cant pass its f*cking MOT!

pitted front brake discs!

 

[Timmay]

[Graham Gooch]

Well If you've driven it a bit in those 3 years they wouldn't of pitted

Mine is over 60k now and tbh I don't care, love it.

That's the same of any car. A 182 is just another car, whether you bought a cheap one in a s**t colour or not!!

 

[cat171]

Finding a decent vee was hard too, so many bad examples out there :dapprove:


My mate Dave has a 172 cup (he's had it from new) he loves it, it's a minter, he's always doing bits to it & cleaning it His would be one of those 'first to see will buy cars'

 

[paul]

^^ someone who understands what im going on about ^^

 

[Timmay]

suppose like a lot of cars it takes a while to find a good example

i got lucky with both my clios as they were both mint

Too right.

When the Mk.4 Clio gets released with the same dimensions as a current Megane - and Reno will insist on squeezing a few more bhp out of the same 2.0 16v engine as the 182; we'll look back on the 172 Cup in total admiration.

Got to love the irony of the roads getting more crowded - at the same time as the cars get forever bigger. Unless you include Japasonic sh1t-boxes with some 600cc engine...

[Iridium]

I see them been more like the Saxo VTS - Good cars, got too cheap and then owned by chavs ruining the reputation and clouding over the brilliant package under neath. The problem with the 205 GTi 1.9 is that they weren't actually *that* common in the first place heh. And they were a lot easier to wrap round a tree than most things...

In 15 years if there is one for sale with 3k on then that is what everyone will want.It wont matter whether its a cup or ff 182
