    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    Ya I saw that one, I'm going to see this one on Saturday: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201602241351931/sort/default/usedcars/dealer/258076/page/1/dpp/german-car-specialist-ltd-ilford-dpp-258076/advert-type/dealer-stock?logcode=dsp It looks aesthetically very good (Head lights...

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    What I'm thinking (though I know it isn't the best / safest / most legal option), is to declare the wheels, and air filter (though the filter if I remove the sticker from the panel box, it'd look stock), and not the suspension. The suspension is a £3250 extra expense in insurance (at least from...

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    Probably best to look for another one - but as a matter of interest how much would it cost to get the suspension back to standard - or at least to a standard type spec so that if I am to need to make an insurance claim they won't shoot me in the face :P

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    Oh just entered the spec into gocompare for insurance quotes - on standard, I'm looking at £750ish - If I include airfilter, wheels and suspension... it goes up to about £4000!!!! That's just crazy. - I do intend to change the wheels to standard, and the airfilter... well just remove the K&N...

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    Ya I don't mind the look, but I'll probably end up looking for some 172 or 182 anthracite wheels to replace them before too long

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    Well wanted to offer £1250 as a starting offer - A few months you say... is that normal? I'm almost worried it might be gone by next weekend when I have the money for it.

    Here's a nice looking one - low mileage and belts done.... though about 3 years ago now https://www.gumtree.com/p/renault/renault-clio-sport-172-low-mileage-genuine-car/1164041132

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    172 vs 172 cup (both ph2)... I know that the cup is obviously more... 'cuppy', i.e. improved handling, lighter etc - but do the pros of a standard over a cup, vs the pros of a cup over a standard kind of equal each other out or is the one just much better than the other? When I look at the...

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    This one looks really good IMO - The wheels aren't first prize but not too bad either. https://www.gumtree.com/p/renault/renaultsport-clio-172-/1161412410 Any thoughts? Apart from the fact that Manchester is Like the other side of the World to Surrey :P

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    Every time I see a car I'm interested in I put it into Go Compare with the fact that I have an international drivers license etc - most cars I'm looking at start at about £750ish, I've budgeted for this

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    To be fair I like the Silver, it's a very clean look, and compared to the black, it shows off some the details a bit better, where it hides some others (2.0 16v badges). I haven't seen a yellow one yet, but I would rate my top colours as Silver, Black and then the 2 blues (arctic and smurf - Not...

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    Thanks for this reply - Ok so when I am ready (in about a month or so), I'll definitely be posting a few options on here. Oh also... the 182 Cambelt and dephaser having to be replaced - is this the same on the 172?

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    May I ask why you mention the 172 regardless of mileage, where as the 182 you mention pinning to a low mileage one? I realise I mentioned a low mileage 182, but is there something inherently bad about the 182 compared to the 172 when it comes to higher mileage?

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    I haven't really looked at 172's at all - What are the major differences between the 182 and 172... besides the 10hp and exhaust / spare wheel?

    Buying a Clio 182 on a budget

    Hi there, New to the forum, and I know for a fact that there have been many, many people that have probably asked the very same questions I am about to ask - so for that I hope I don't get stoned from the bleachers, I'm sorry in advance. I have just moved to the UK from Cape Town, South Africa...
