Thats it... the 172 is going.........

[CocoPops]

Guess who's gonna get a nice new 182

Managed to get a VERY good trade in deal, my 172 plus 900 to get a brand new 182 with Cup Suspension, Cup Spoilers and Metallic Paint.

How chuffed am I?? very

Just need to choose the colour and then place the order.

[steve threlfall]

You jammy get

what a beast

[Tumble]

it needs to be blooooooo..... dunno why.. probably because mine is, and mine > everybodies

[Shad]

Red cars go faster

Very nice though, if a tad too.... French, for my taste

[Ant]

Sweet!

Are you not tempted to spend another grand and go for yellow??? Its a pity they don't do the 182 in red, as cup alloys would look awesome on red.

Do you get the anthracite alloys if you go for the cup suspesion pack?

[CocoPops]

Aye, there's no way in hell I'd pay a G for paint!! yellow or no yellow

Yes to the Anthracite wheels with cup suspension.

And Yes I'd like a red 182, but not an option.

Nice buy.

Strange question, but are the current clio and micra based on the same chassis? As in if Nissan decided to they could realease say a 2.0L version of the micra?

[elglg]

Whats the insurance like on the 172's?? Been trying to get an online quote for one but only place to give me one was for £2700 FC, I'm 23 1 year ncb. Which is a bit rediculous considering i can get quotes on other group 16 and above cars for 1200-1500 quid. Could have been tempted by one but not if they are gonna b that much to insure.....

[5lab]

how did you blag that deal??

are you still in time to get the limited edition blue with white stripes one? looked quite sharp imo

[Howard]

Needs to be black Nice and sleek! Damn nice car!

[Lowe]

Racing blue for better value later down the line..

[TomWilko]

I love the ones with the stripes down the side. Only cars with true power are allowed stripes

[Vimeous]

gobbo -

The current Clio and Micra were separately developed before or during the combination of the two companies. My memory is poor on the actual future plans but I would expect the next generation of both cars on the same platform.

[CocoPops]

Ooooooh It gets better.

Managed to get 200 more out of the dealer!
So now looking at 700 to change.

Sold the splitter (182 comes with one) for 60, zorst up for sale 150 so if I sold that too, then I'd only have to fine 500notes, which to upgrade to a new car is laughable really, so fingers crossed it all comes off as there are conditions attached to the deal like must order before end of may (no probs) and must be reg'd by end of June (sticky point as current delivery if ordered today is 4th july!!)

So off to dealer on saturday to confirm/order etc, fingers crossed.

Oh and I think I am going for the metallic blue (Artic Blue) with the Anthracite wheels of the "cup suspension pack"

[5lab]

mate, try and push him a bit more. he's obviously gagging to sell you this car, absolutely GAGGING to do it. sounds like his sales figures bonus is on the line, so push it more
