Did you read the thread above about possible rear end damage?

There's a couple more for sale at the moment at the lower end, one looks in great condition but has 140k, another without Sachs & on 89k.

£2,660 seems quite cheap in the end, despite needing a bit of work to bring up to the sort of standard people on owners' forums expect. Hope you weren't offended by the other member's comment above, you seemed pretty honest about the faults so perhaps a little harsh. Bet you'll be sad to see...

It didn't sell through Ebay but it's still active on Pistonheads at £6k, so I assume it's still for sale. Interestingly there's one on Cup suspension and 71k on Ebay without a bid at £2500 although I'm sure there'll be a flurry at the end, buy it now is only £3500 though & the damaged Sachs...

Replied to me quite quickly.. "Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately we are unable to retail this car due to uneconomical repair and due to safety we would not be retailing this car in its current state." Yep shame no one knows the #.. Tried to make a low offer but guess they'll sell it...

Shhhhhhhh :o Long way away though... Looks a bit messed with considering the bumper, but good value. edit.. Oh I see, thats the one with the dodgy loom.. it's not on their site now.

Been watching the big 4 sites daily & I don't think they're rising necessarily, but holding well unlike other 182s due to newer Clios getting cheap too. IIRC that one has been for sale a while & the cars advertised more at £4000-4600 seem to be selling in a few weeks, with 2 or 3 high milers...

Don't think it was too cheap though, there's some silly (imho) priced ones near 6k that haven't moved in a while, £5k is about right I think, despite low mileage the dampers will likely need attention. Glad someone else noticed it went up though, I thought I was seeing things.

*thread resurrection as it's a great slide* lol @ Steve .. this car is currently up for sale... :o Bizarrely my biggest track new-trousers-needed moment was on that same corner in a RWD LSD car. When I gathered it back up they walked out with a big sign saying 'Steady' .. It's the first place...

Defo a few sold recently though too, quite a few vanished as I've been watching daily. Mileage is such a massive factor it seems.

Was thinking about calling for a visit yesterday but it now says deposit taken anyway..

Is that the car in Swindon by any chance?

Eek another buyer.. :o The dealer 61k one? I went to see one in Wales & it needs a lot of bodywork bits, the abs was snatching & rear disks were shot as it had been stood, also missing the front lip spoiler, seat didn't tilt/return, manky s/wheel & looked like someone had tried to steal the...

I'm about to make an offer on a couple .. wish there weren't others looking at the moment too, would make it easier :o Maybe we should PM so we don't bid against each other, lol. Viewed 2, both have a fair few little bodyshop jobs need doing, usual sticky seats & unsure of dampers. Can't...

Oh dear, this is getting a bit farcical now :( I've never owned a Clio (but I'd love a Trophy), I'm also a businessman & am not in my 20s, but it's my own personal opinion that the thousand's of cars you drive each year belong at least mostly to people parking at the Valet Car Parking company...
