Still considering this car for sale, even though its quite over priced from what i gather.

Previous owner is a member on here but not been online for quite some time. Anyone else know this car and/or its previous owner, just wanted some more info on it.

Cheers

I don't understand.

It's over priced
You asked for advice
it what looks to be a large dent in the drivers rear quarter.
it's done 128,000 miles
And it's over priced.

 

[peugeot205gti]

haha, If i all else was positive then i'd try a good bit of haggling!

 

[imprezaworks]

You have seen the dent right in the middle?

A classic case of nothing else is about, will just buy this.

Buys car. Then others cheaper with less miles pop up.

It's a classsssiiiiiicccc.

Fella..
No doubt the black one you linked to is ace, but at £2800 ovno, surely that one's over priced too? Or is this CS logic in full flow ? Or is it not over priced because it's on here ? ?

 

[peugeot205gti]

I cannot knock anything you just said, which is the very reason i didn't bother viewing it weekend but now its Monday, nothing else so here i am considering looking at overspending

Is it?
Depends on what work has been done.
I`d rather drive a sorted car with a dent than a shiny minter that didn`t stop, go round corners or run correctly.

Going by what current up for sale the £2,800 actually seems reasonable? I can't seem to find any much better than this price wise and if i do it is because belts not been done, no serv history and poorly modded!

One will come up though, patience is key

Or just wait it out for a better over all car?

Assuming the black one was to take offers, lets say 2500. I'd prefer that over a car with three times as many miles and no dent on the rear quarter.

That said i would still wait it out

Its over priced lol.

I more or less know what it would cost to repair the paintwork & can think of several potential problems that would cost more to fix.

The reality is that any 172/182 you pick up for £1000-1200 & maybe more, will likely need another £1000 spending to get it usable.

This is why people let them go for that price in the 1st place, otherwise they would hang out for more.

As the dealer is advertising it with aircon, I guess at least that will work.

 

[imprezaworks]

£1000 on top of any initial clio 1*2 purchase to make it usable?

Just lols

Easily,
Belts, Boots, Clutch?

Could allways buy a car that doesn’t need the above?.

Unless you buy a car without asking questions or driving it of course.

Not for a grand.

Really depends what this means as to if it`s worth £1750.

Ton's of history, there has been no expense spared. Supplied serviced with both keys and a comprehensive 3 Months Warranty. Test drives and Part Exchanges

 

[imprezaworks]

Op good luck with the search.

 

[Impuzzable]

Ooooo is this my car being compared?

 

[imprezaworks]

Not anymore, my head hurts.

 

[peugeot205gti]

Appears this car sold, only took a week. So do we think over priced still and someone has been ripped off or do you think prices have just risen of late as i can't seem to find many cheaper ones atm. I ask as i may just have to accept spending more the way the classifieds are looking!

 

[imprezaworks]

Worth a look?

whenever i post anything someone always posts one in the for sale section!

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks a decent enough base car. Factor in belts on age.

Hello I'm the mug/new member who I bought CN03 ENH

You didn't miss a bargain. It went for a lot less, but was probably still a bit overpriced.

In the flesh it did have various niggly things that I'm working through - but the dealer offered a px on an old Pug diesel that I was desperate to move on.

And he was prepared to let me have 43p worth of petrol completely free. SOLD!

Had plenty of love in its recent life, with cambelt etc and a forum sticker. It's making me smile ?

 

[peugeot205gti]

Nice one mate, seemed a genuine car though, be interested to see what you do to it. What niggles were there?

 

[Alex6989]

thanks mate.
It's a long list, but it's pretty straight, nothing in the starting, going and stopping to do so far.
Things like missing mats, cd doesn't play, buzzing climate control sensor, auto-levelling flaky on xenons, deflector missing under front bumper, headlamps need polishing etc The paintwork's 7/10 but I don't mind that.
Did need a new rad though - like I say, you didn't miss a bargain.

Most of the over priced, over polished turds without a scratch need these basics doing, and much more, but people cannot see beyond the shine.

A good buy!

l looked at eight 172/182 and most needed £500-1000 spending on them, even the 22,000 mile one at £5950.

The one l bought is a lovely example with near perfect bodywork and interior. I paid £2600

But it needs £1,000 spending on it, although l could leave the heavy clutch and slight whine from the gearbox.

It’s just the nature of old cars.

This was very clean for £3,000 in fact l struggled to fault it except for non-working aircon.
Surprised it hasn’t sold. I came close but decided l wanted a 182.

 

[imprezaworks]

Also depends what you expect from a 15 year old car for not much money.

spot on. Fettling with old motors does eat into a lot of precious family time though. So that's another bonus ?
