Clio 172/182/Trophy Prices
Discussion
I enjoyed this thread, I had a 182 9 years ago and am looking at buying another one as a cheap bit of fun.
In fact, I have bought a seemingly good value car and it’s being delivered tomorrow unseen...I am a little nervous, but with the mods on it etc I feel I could break it for spares if it blew up. It had belts done a year ago and has a years MOT so all sounds good so far...
Wish me luck.

Yes, the Clio has a hydraulic steering. But even for a hydraulic setup it is one of the most beautifully weighted and direct steering racks I have ever experienced, with bags of feedback. On summer tyres you can feel everything that the front is doing.
I miss mine. Had a 172 for 4 years and enjoyed over 40k miles in it. Altogether, almost a faultless car, with only a crank position sensor failing in my ownership... until an unknown electrical issue and a need for a larger car forced me to sell at a time when the prices had hit rock bottom.

Sold my 172 a couple of months back, if anyone needs parts try contacting ryan cox. Located close to farnham. Top bloke, bought my 172 off me for a very fair price considering what was wrong with it. Hes been buying and selling them for years and breaks knackered ones for parts, close to 20 just in his yard as of yesterday. Properly into his cars and very helpful. I've no affiliation with him other than a few bits for mine and then selling it to him but hes very well regarded.
Where do we think values of Trophy's could ultimately go in the next 10+ years? I mean excluding the low mileage garage queens that will always be worth a lot.
My car is on 130k miles and needs some of the bodywork sorting which won't be cheap. I get the feeling that I'd kick myself in 10,20 years etc. if I was to get shot of it though. It already feels like there's nothing else that could replace it that felt quite raw and small on the road.
I've heard comments along the lines of it'll never be worth that much as it's not low miles but I heard those same comments when I sold my 158k miles e39 M5 in 2016 for £6850. 6 years hence, the cheapest one on autotrader is up at £18,950.
