Yup, that'll be a scam then!

Top tip cheers! Do you mean ridiculously cheap or expensive? I'm not exactly a million miles from your part of the world....

Haha! Does anyone 'buy' parkers? I just flicked through it in the newsagents like everyone else! I reckon your numbers are about where I was thinking - how do Parkers get away with being so random?!?!?!?

Cambelt done as have all service items. That sounds pretty realistic to me - I was thinking put her up at a shade under £5000 and take first offer I'm happy with.

With apologies to anyone also on PistonHeads where I'll shortly be asking a similar question... It's a while since I've sold a car privately but now I find I need to due to my brother in law selling me his Merc A class (I know - but its an expanding family thing!) at a decent price. I've priced...

Brilliant! Cheers for the info (ain't t'internet great!)

Where are you in the country? Mine arrives next week and is black with 172 alloys (unsurprisingly as it is a 172!!!), happy for you to come and see it in the flesh if you're anywhere near the East Midlands.

Hi, just got a nice 172 (see separate thread for full details should be interested in how I got it, how many £££ I paid etc etc) and, after reading about it for ages on t'internet I have thoroughly confused myslef! It is a 53 plate 172, registered Oct 03 (so presumably one of the last 172s...

No, it is from the company my wife works for. The deal was they got it valued and we were offered it for auction estimate minus auctioneer's fees minus work outstanding (albeit work at trade price). I am pretty pleased with the price, if the bonnet dent comes out easily I'll be even happier...

The plugs were done at 36K but for the sake of the extra £40 I think I'll get them changed when the cambelt is done.

Interesting comment. Anyway, I gave £4000 for it so I'm pretty happy. Best price so far for cambelt (full kit) is £417 fitted, how does that sound? Reckon I'll get the plugs changed at the same time...

Sorry, non-main dealer garage / specialist! Have heard good things about GDI in Cambridgeshire, but someone in Lincoln (Dave Clark???) would be handy. Keep the prices coming, I'll reveal what I paid shortly!

Hi all, first post on here.... been a member on pistonheads.com and a few of those guys recommended this place now that I am a 172 owner, looks like a decent forum. Anyway, just picked up an ex-company 172, 53 plate (Oct 2003), black, FSH, new exhaust, tyres (Contis), pads & discs all round...
