Jesus, CAT D and hardly low mileage on a relatively new car....£2300! they're hopeful

Saw a white 182 in Lowestoft this morning, looked lovely to be honest. Anyone on here?

Do you have to lose the aircon?

It's gutting isn't it? I started with an offer of £1500, but had a 'lengthy' chat with the engineer and was armed with more adverts than he knew what to do with. Ultimately, I'm still out of pocket and finding a low mileage example in the condition mine was in, is proving borderline impossible...

Hi mate, I suffered the same on my monaco 172 last month, was quoted nearer £2k to fix. Hope you got a decent pay out, I ended up with £1,820 cash plus the car (which was 9% or something) so I effectively paid £180 for salavage and sold that this week for £400. (Absolute bargain IMO) but you...

I might offer them £3,500 and be done.

Indeed! If it were £4k, I'd be thinking, may get it for £3.75k and have something a bit different, but not that much!

If you can stretch your budget!! (nothing to do with me btw...if it was £4k I'd be tempted, but £5k is LOT of money for a 'colour')...

Parts (in March 2014) All belts and plugs etc were £283 delivered. Paid £180 to have them fitted, which I guess is about a days work (I also had a fog light fitted) so £600 isn't out of the ordinary.

You've got one seriously trigger happy send finger lol!

I've still got my eye out. Seen a low mile black 172 up for £895. Tempted to 'save' it. Sounds well serviced, just looks tatty, which with mine I can easily rectify. Just wonder if it's worth it or not.

That's the one, think he's lowered it too, looks clean enough, although he's a 'youngun' so I suspect I'll see other mods appear ;) No pics to hand, someone went into the back of me on Bridge Road, bumper, tailgate and lights smashed. Worst part is that it made a dent in the offside rear...

Just to add, I had mine done by R&S Autoservices (near Asda in Lowestoft) Steve is a top bloke and ex Renault and and ex Clio 172 owner too, so knows the cars well. I think I paid about £600 for all belts, plus a few minor other bits (fit a supplie fog light was one thing).

Standard alloys 16". No tyres.

Anyone seen the flamer 172 around the Lowestoft area? Not sure if they're a member on here? Seen it parked on Beccles Road a couple of times and had him behind me (oo err) on the A146 once, he fancied a play but I had my son in the car otherwise I may have obliged (he tells my wife if I do 35...
