Back in the game

[Ginerbolox]

Found myself another 182. Black one this time (hopefully it's flame retardant)
The exterior and interior condition are close to concourse imo. 69k on the clock so still pretty low mileage. A few extras on this one.

KTR black induction kit

KTR resonated centre line exhaust

KTR solid suspension top mounts

KTR braided brake lines

KTR front bottom splitter

Eibach pro lowering springs

Power flex solid rear exhaust mount bushes

Brembo high carbon front brake discs

Ferodo DS performance front brake pads

Ferodo DS rear brake pads and discs

PFC race brake fluid
Paid 6k and collect it Friday. I'll get some pics up then.
Just so yous know. If anything happens to this one I'm going all fecking John J and turning vigilante. So when I'm locked up for killing some chavy scrote I'll expect you guys to petition to get me out like that old bloke who shot that thieving pikey. 😉

Nice, this the one that was up for £6750?

Looked a lovely example!

Was up for 6450. He had listed it previous for over 7k but didn't get a bite. Its a lot nicer than my charred one so hopefully might have fell on my feet.

Yeah one that caught my eye. Got abit of a steal there, given the price of these now.

That looks tidy! 6k for a 182 though [emoji50] have prices really crept up that much?

For a car on less than 70k that's looking like a good deal based on recent cars I've seen listed.

Wish I bite the bullet years ago then.

Wonder how much a AG 200 on 55k would be then [emoji848]

£20 and a mars bar here

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah 6k seems fine

Had a good look at that one when i was on the hunt myself - the owner of that was meticulous, that’s 100% a great buy. Well done mate.

Lovely colour when the sun’s shining ☀️

Are you using it as a daily or keeping the mileage down?

I'm afraid so pal. Just look how much insurance paid out on my last one. There are plenty of 182s out there for sale at the moment. Lots for around the 4-5k mark but most if not all are 100k mileage plus, and have either been converted to track or are spoilt with stupid mods. Those that are under 100k are few and far between. With a lot of dreamers out there wanting silly money. I saw a 58k 182 last week and while it was nice they were looking for 8.5k for it.

The plan is to drive it as a daily during the spring and summer months then garage it for the winter and drive my old pug 205 during the colder months.

The market is nuts. I bought my RB last year for £5,400. Began restoring it and during the build a genuine buyer following the progress offered me £7,500. It’s not for sale though. 2 months on the buyer still hadn’t found one he liked so increased his offer to £9,000. I was so tempted but I didn’t buy it to sell it. My BG is 3/4 restored with 136,000 now and I’d get £3,500-£4,000 all day long. Lots of ruined ones about as well as shiny ones with rot underneath. Good examples are fetching proper money.

I think as with most cars, its the tin-worm that starts to increase their rarity as they get older. I'm still looking at quotes to get both rear arches on mine done - properly cut out and not simply sanded down and filled.

Proportionally, the cost is silly compared to the value of the car overall. But if you're willing to spend on them, anything is fixable and repairable. The other way to look at it is the amount of decent work that could be carried out compared to a year's worth of leasing. People will happily pay £250 per month finance on a 2022 runabout s**t-box and not even bat an eyelid. Yet conversely, they will have a meltdown in thinking of putting that money aside and doing worthwhile remedial work on a 1*2.

I know for one which car I rather be in.

Picked it up yesterday. It's a little cracker this one. I'm more than happy. It's a real credit to the previous owner. Meticulous service history and got a stack of receipts and invoices for previous work done, all at rs specialists.

needs the rear renault sport badge imo

@Ginerbolox I was speaking to my uncle the other day and he knows you🤣

The 182 you've bought looks clean as a whistle!

Glad you got it, looked a good one.

This is the only blemish on the car. Do the badges just glue on?

Yes

The Clio badge is the one with the two holes under the badge.
