2nd hand 172 value!!

[Stokesey]

Cant believe the 2nd hand value of 172s, I had no idea it was this bad, thanks god I bought an Import and saved a few grand at the outset!! Think all the people that paid top dollar for UK cars wont be laughing at sale time (not that Im laughing but I genuinely believe that pound for pound the Import will work out a good couple of grand cheaper)!!

[badinvincible]

that makes no sense

 

[Stokesey]

Yeah sorry about that it was pasted from Parkers but as sson as I posted it, it screwed up the jist was that a 2nd hand 2002 (51 reg) 172 is worth just over £7k!!

 

[badinvincible]

fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook

If it helps...just click the text and it takes you to the web page.

sh*t ....was thinking of selling mine too!! guess Im not going to get what I thought.

Edit the 1st message and added the hyperlink, sorry guys and gals but not pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a really nice car you can get for the money, however an Elephant quote for me was over 6K, so still out of my league.

 

[RS-Steve]

not far off that, reckons mines worth bout 9 an a bit which is wot i want for it.

 

[182_blue]

only £200 difference between a 172 and a similar age cup, now thats depriciation,

 

[007]

Yup I paid near £7k for my Williams 1 3/4 years ago id be lucky to get £5,500 for it now. Not too bad for a 9 year old car but more depreciation than I can afford.

The RS Fiesta I sold at the time to get the Williams has just sold for more 2 years later than I sold it for!! The attraction of cars with a Turbo seems to keep the prices up.

 

[cableguy]

I have to say that I have NEVER used parkers as a guide. Every retailer will laugh at you when you delve into a parkers. Id laugh at what they would price a Williams at and what they end up selling for, they are sooo worth the money that they sell for not what parkers would have you believe.
Basically you pay for what you want and the sellers guide the price not parkers. If we all went by what they said all our cars would be worth alot less and drive the market down. Just my humble point of view....

 

[Stokesey]

You only need to look at the Cars for sale forum to realise that Parkers wont be that far off, you just cant seem to shift the 172s at a decent price.

 

[McBunny]

nope you cant its true cant f**king sell them grrrrr

Imports will sell for roughly £1000 less than a UK car. Ask LeeM. His car would have been worth a thousand pounds more part ex had it not been an import. Sad but true.

For the record, I have a UK 172, but only paid £12,000 for it new. Which was cheaper than Motorppoint at the time.

Used car price guides are as they say guides. it really depends on the individual car, condition, history, mileage etc etc. I sold my valver for 3K recently, parkers guide price is about £1250

i completely agree with this, you only need to see the prices ppl want for their cars, they are more than a prkers price guide.

Glasses guide is the one you want to use - unfortunately I think its a trade-only publication! I occassionally get hold of the missus dads old previous months copies - turned up at a garage once carrying one and the salesman wasnt impressed cos he knew he couldnt feck around with me!

 

[McBunny]

i bougt my import 172 for 10.5 with 12k on it so far no one has asked if its an import or not not 1 dealer

WhatCar gives abit better valuations - Ive always found Parkers to be abit on the low side.

But yes 172s have depreciated quite badly

 

[KDEANO31]

I wanted £8750 for my 2002 52 Cup with 20k miles but had to take £8000 in the end after no interest for about a month.

I paid £9500 for it in January.

Gutted.

sh*t ....how old are you??

21, but I guess its a speeding fine and a claim I have made so now have 0 NCB. I used a search engine that searches online companys (not confused, im try hard to remember it) and I think from that egg was the cheapest, I will have to try finding it when I come to renew or change car, the elephant was the one I tried on that day, some are more and some are less.

 

[Stokesey]

As soon as the car is 3 years old, anyone with an ounce of sense wont give a toss if its an import or not, it will all be down to condition, service history etc.

As for the point above that it would be worth 1k less, thats a bit of a sweeping statement and maybe true for that particular dealer but not all. Even if it was it proves the point that Imports work out to be substantially more cost effective than (full priced) UK cars over the term of ownership.

I know its been said many times before on this forum but people really need to understand that Importing (if the price is right) makes perfect sense.

At the end of the day we make our own choices, and I know that if I had paid UK prices I would be a lot more pissed off than I am right now with the 2nd hand prices.

 

[jonnyboy]

only dealers care if its an import as they use that as a way to offer you less money. I find it funny as mine is a french import, when you ask them why a french import of a french car is worth less than a french car imported to the uk by a renault dealer they cant tell you why.

172s are fekking terrible for depreciation, I suppose all the more popular manufacturers cars are really thats just the way it is. If you want a 2nd hand 172 there are so many for sale, thats why the prices fall so quickly.

 

[UncleRogi]

172s were hit hard by the Arrival of the Cup and 182s

 

[keeper]

what car price £9.941.

 

[Big Iain]

just lookin at parkers there and a cup with cc is worth less than one with out??

 

[cableguy]

Just shows how retarded they are at Parkers then doesnt it!

Extras - and the car is worth less, erm ok then, dorks....!!!

Technically a cup with cc is a 182

If I was buying a cup I wouldnt want the air con extra weight albeit not much kinda goes against the grain of the whole cup concept!

 

[182 sport]

In 6 months time or so 182 will flood the market and the same will happen to them

 

[UncleRogi]

Good job I wrote of my 172 rather have to try to sell it (sorta)

 

[CocoPops]

Little extreme dont ya think?

 

[UncleRogi]

True, but I gotta find some way to make the best of the situation

 

[Mr GTiR]

I know its not what some of you want to hear but because the 172 have depricated so much in price it makes a very good buy second hand.

Im currently after a 172 (new shape) for the misses and have been keeping an eye on the prices of them for a while now. Orginally my bro wanted one but got a 1.2 Dynamic (spelling) cos it was free insurance.

For a 2 year old car with approx 27K on it the price is around £8k. Not bad for a 2.0 16V car with 1 years manufactures warranty left on it.

Very good buy as a second hand car.

My mate let he drive his Cup and she now loves them!!

 

[Big Iain]

buy this one

7 months old

[Mr GTiR]

lol iv seen your ad but unless you want to p/x your motor for a 1.4 8v Polo (T Reg) then your out of luck.

She has to sell her motor first before she can get a 172.

Very nice motor btw.
