Just missed out on a 1 owner 39k 172 cup in mint condition for 1k. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Wow, are they that cheap now? I could have replaced mine for less money than its taken to fix it!

SS, you're really making me want a Cliosport, been furiously browsing the classifieds looking for a bargain

Might be about time to upgrade this year, just not sure CS is the route I want to go down but it's looking like an ideal option as I love my current Clio.

Nathan · 4 Jul 2011 at 12:00

no they are not that cheap. Had one traded in against an A1 at a family members dealership, it went to auction 2 hours after I was told about it

Sorry

They are great fun. I can certainly see myself in mine for another 12-18 months at least.

Definitely seems to be an upgrade that's on the cards at present. Only issue is finding a reputable dealer with a decent one in stock. I rely on my car heavily for work(public transport is no available option) so the only route I could go down would be trade in, I reckon.

Found a fantastic example for sale - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2977065.htm

Might be able to haggle on price too.

shifty_uk · 4 Jul 2011 at 15:39

Weren't you going to buy a brand new one, Maccy?

Maccy · 4 Jul 2011 at 15:42

I don't think it's going to be financially viable. I think the want factor was more than the realistic one. Owning a 182 will give me just as much fun as a 200 at a fraction of the cost I reckon.

BennyC · 4 Jul 2011 at 15:50

He'd shift that if he came down on the price slightly more.

If you buy one virtually stock would you be planning on chaning the springs / exhaust / wheels ? If so, make sure you take the price of these in to account!

If i was you I wouldn't want to be spending any more than £4,000.

Found it for sale on Cliosport. Checked the sellers previous posts, and this gem of a thread was discovered - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?587482

No mention about it in the ad, so unless it's sorted which I'm doubting, then he's hiding something.

Gustov · 4 Jul 2011 at 22:32

Good detective work Maccy! I just took my bullets off the car. Going to get them sprayed titanium silver (to match wheels) with arctic blue paint on the 2.0 16v to match the car

Then I need my F1 sticker to come in the post, clean the headlights and BOOM. DONE! Also Begbie, petrol blue? Worse colour going!

Also you thought you put effort into cleaning your car? Check this! http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=167866

Ah screw you SS, just seen this pic...

Don't know if i should go for the colour combo suggested above or just rip you off

If anyone wants to photoshop that to the titanium silver background and arctic blue font (On the bullet) I would much appreciate it! Helps that SS's wheels almost look silver in that pic too.

Begbie · 4 Jul 2011 at 23:17

Go with your way round it breaks the colour up a bit and makes your car a bit different.

Maccy · 4 Jul 2011 at 23:18

Sorry I'm tired and just did a quick one. It's pretty terrible but hopefully helps -

Raymond Lin · 4 Jul 2011 at 23:24

You should get a 1.2 16V badge and stick that in for kicks

haha that really is poo

lol, really appreciate your efforts though pal!

Also you've done it anthra, not silver

(Note to self - never help Gustov again)

Might be easier with this pic as the camera flash had made the silver look so clean! (which it isn't!)
