Thanks Fergie - good to know.

Not too bad over 5 years but not something you want to have to do right away unless you get a bargain. That 182 in Dundee looks lovely.

I noticed that one. Appears to have been taken off now. Out of interest, what's the average cost of the above job?

Sensible words. Thanks.

Thanks, I saw this. My wife is asking me to hold off until our baby is born next month but I'll be gutted to let that one go as it looks very well kept.

Sold the 197 about 5 years ago.

Thanks guys - appreciate your input. Food for thought.

This looks pretty good for the money... https://www.gumtree.com/p/renault/clio-182-sport.-65k-1owner-fsh.-immaculate.-/1134447293 Higher miles but maybe I'm being too stubborn on the mileage front...

The 182 optical bought for £3400 makes me think I should hold off and try and grab more of a bargain. The seller of the £4k 182 in my original post advised that someone from Norwich off here has offered the full asking but can't view the car until the end of the month. Time will tell if it...

Apologies, I meant the first one at £4K - a fair price?

Thanks guys - it would have to be a 182 for me so resale values aside, is the second example well priced? Should I barter? Thanks, Martin

Thanks for the replies so far folks. Based on your advice regarding the price of the second example, I won't pursue that one. With regard to the first one, what do you think about the price? Should I be looking to reduce that or is it a fair price given the work that's been done vs the...

Hi guys, Martin here. I haven't posted on here in a long time but I'd appreciate your thoughts on the following cars which I'm considering buying to use as a second car and as a bit of an investment. I'd be grateful for your views on the price vs everything we know from the adverts and from...

Thanks guys - I'll check..should've done that first! Martin

Would that be a warranty claim? Martin

Had my car serviced last week with no problems. Was driving yesterday with my radio on no probs and stopped off somewhere. When I returned and started the car 'CODE' was flashing on my screen where the radio station or CD track number would be displayed and I can now use neither. My problem is...

Above dealer is closed today. Thinking about selling the 197 privately - fairly good condition, 27k miles, nimbus, standard, no air con...been offered £8500 by a Honda dealer against an S2K...what do u reckon I should aim for privately? Martin

I would hate to think that I could spend £19k on a car that could fall apart the first time I drive it properly. Martin

Hopefully he'll be prepared to bring the price down to £18k. Even at that I know it's expensive but I'm thinking of it in terms of the fact it's not even run in, is exclusive and is in mint condition. Martin

Haven't been around for a while but Merry Chrsitmas to you all! I still have my 197 and I am seriously considering buying the following car: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1227589.htm I would be grateful for your thoughts on the price and whether or not I should be concerned about buying...

Pity some people can't offer constructive feedback instead of being bitchy or rude. You've put a lot of effort into getting the car how you want it to look so respect for that. I like the wheels and the colour but I'm not a huge fan of the bodykit as it's too 'harsh' and 'busy' for my liking but...

I'm afraid that you're biased given that you work for them. "The ocassional bad story" is the understatement of the forum - they're cheaper for a reason...you get what you pay for. And I haven't pulled a gun out of my pocket so I'm not brandishing anything. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Are you joking me - for every individual with a good thing to say about Arnold Clark dealers, there are ten who have horror stories, hence the reason why the group had a less than complimentary website dedicated to them. They are a bunch of cowboys. ;)

If the mothership contains the words Arnold and Clark then it'll probably have been damaged before arriving at the showroom on Mars. Then the salesmen will damage the mothership whilst flying it into position, will send it off to be repaired only to find that the resprayed area is easily...

Pollokshaws don't have a clue - I don't think the salesmen are given any training by what I've seen and heard. Arnold Clark....

Lol long time no speak mate. How's things?

Parked up today. I was there with my school - was a good day - sea lion show was great. Think I saw a Blair Drummond fleece in the car - an employee perhaps? Martin

TBH I think most of the MK3s look good. I have to double take some to see if they're RS versions sometimes. Car's totally standard mate - not really into the tuning scene. Have done close to 30k miles and toying with the idea of selling it and buying something cheaper to run as I'm buying a...

Wouldve been me heading home from work mate. I get a few spotted posts on here but never seem to see anyone else!

About £50-£60 per week but I commute around 25 miles per day to work and back.
