Going to look at a ph1 172....

[.GAZ.]

Thats cheered me up a bit! I was well excited about the car until you said that you were interested aswell!
There are 2 or 3 which I want to look at though, but this one is my favourite out of the lot so ive chose to look at this one first!

Atleast I know you're only willing to pay the same amount as I am, so I must be thinking along the right track!

£2k or i'd walk away!

I saw that about an hour ago... Does look nice, but im a bit too far away from it :dapprove: !

Starting bid £2395. LOL

 

[Harpham]

£2k or i'd walk away!

Yup same with me!

Isnt taxed at the moment either is it, so id be inclined to try n get it slightly cheaper so that im not out of pocket even more (probably pushing it a bit though arent I lol)

 

[Harpham]

Starting bid £2395. LOL

If they were closer id of gone to see that!

I find the ad a bit dodgy though.... "I HAVE RANG HIM AND HE CONFIRMED THIS, HENCE HE SAID THERE WAS NO NEED TO SERVICE IT" .... Could be giving you his dads phone number for all you know! :S And the first owner had it for 5 years so it should have been serviced shouldnt it?

 

[Poolie]

The sunflower your seeing on Sunday is my gf's. (Hayley) and I don't think you'll be getting it for 2k regardless of it not being taxed lol

 

[ABOO]

Love it. Glad there wasn't a I'll blag her 'cos it's a bird comments!!!

To be fair, she most likely knows more about cars than what I do because im pretty clueless lol!

Spill the beans.

Looked like it had had a harder life than the 4 owner 72k car I eventually went for, say no more.

 

[.GAZ.]

Not good. Thanks for the heads up matey!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Getting the heads up so me and Gaz dont need to travel the length of the country for another 172 FTW!

 

[.GAZ.]

Knows Daniel. I do <3 a good roadtrip tho!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Knows sir, but id rather we are going to buy rather than crack skulls and walk

FLOL x

 

[.GAZ.]

Ken. Need to find a Hilux!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Burnouts on the M6 ftw

Thanks for the heads up also... Id have been tempted to travel down to that if these others that ive got lined up dont work out!

 

[Richyy182]

Look 5k you can have my 182 ha ha. I'm going to be after a phase 1 soon. I remember the day they were released my boss at the time got one, i think that where the love of the rs came from. Awesome little motors. Right i'm taking my clio off the market ha

 

[Harpham]

Going to look at another one tommorrow... 4th time lucky

 

[Harpham]

Hopefully going to have a look at this on friday... Anyones on here??

 

[oVerboost.]

That would look smart on some anthracite turini wheels...

That would be a long way off pal lol... Id be pretty much broke after buying/insuring it!!!

 

[ABOO]

Don't give up on the phase 1 mate.....

 

[Harpham]

Don't give up on the phase 1 mate.....

All the ones ive been looking at have had something wrong with them (2 of them, the cams were knackered) and the others ive looked at have been molested (performance filter etc)... If I get one, I want an unmolested one, which there seems to be very few of

 

[Harpham]

Absolutely Buzzing!!!

Bought the above ph2 172 today! Going to pick it up some time in the week, once ive got the money out and insurance sorted

 

[W17GLE]

urgh ph2 lol. Glad you finally got something sorted i hope you enjoy it

 

[jordan172]

looks good mate, sat nav to which is rare

 

[ExclusivLee]

Thanks for all the info..

Both that ive been to look at today have been no go's...

The one with no service history's interior wasnt the best, was missing the 6cd changer, the front bumper was hanging a bit due to broken clip and it had an induction kit on... And 5 previous owner with only 55,000 on the clock, yea right!!

The other one looked mint, very good condition, everything looked great.. But the engine was making a funny noise, my dad said it sounded like the Cam was on its way out so had to turn it down..

Still on the search! I loved test driving it though, so so good!
After 160 miles of travelling, atleast I know that I definately want one!

Was this one in Buxton? if so i seen it too! no thanks and the guy wouldnt drop a penny from £1995

Who bought it then? come on own up! i seen this one but the Guy seemed dodgey, more so when we arrived at his house and he started arguing with the neighbours

Lol!

Do you know whether he went to see that sunflower yellow one, that we were both interested in?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

The one that had 85k on it?

Nah, the history on that was a little vague to say the least, albeit a nice example, vague all the same.

Hes gone for a different plan of attack i think

Yea thats the one... Me and my dad went to view it. I loved it, but my dad noticed that the cams were on their way out or something!
And it had been lowered & had performance air filter on, so was put off by that!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I planned on getting it myself last year but decided against it.

Wont go into details i believe the owner is/was on here

 

[.GAZ.]

The belts look fine!!

ROFFLE!
