I hear ya buddy. I’ll be selling mine soon too. It’s going to hurt. But expenses on it are getting out of hand and it’s that time in life as you say. Thank you for all the Clio content you’ve given all of us over the years! I can’t wait to see what you get up to next.
WISH ME LUCK! MY BLACK 182 04 PLATE WHICH IVE HAD FOR 15 YEARS IS GOING IN FOR THE DREADED MOT NEXT WEEK! SHE IS TOTALLY STOCK BUT RUNS SO WELL! FINGERS CROSSED!!!! HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT SELLING OVER THE YEARS BUT CANT DO IT!?!?!?!?
I've had my 182 13 years now, it's currently sorn on the drive... I do debate selling it but it owes me nothing and I do wonder in ten years time if it will be worth a fortune or maybe I'm kidding myself? Good luck with whatever you get next!
I think you'll need to get into a BMW to not want back into the Clio soon after you sell it! Thanks for the videos on your 182 over the years, been a great reference for some of the work I've done to mine.
I was literally the same even though it's a 330d E92 it's just far better for everything. Way faster if you want it, crazy how comfy it is and still does 50mpg if needed.
Can really relate to this. Had my 182 FF for 12 years too but its now sitting in my friends garage sorn. I need to sell it but i know one day il regret it.. I now have a Clio 200 but it doesnt quite scratch the itch like the 182 does. Goodluck with the sale and all that
Ah yes. Very much me, sorned it for abit over winter. Which made my mind up for me i think. Enjoyed the 197 I used for 6 months or so but I agree it wasn’t the same! Thanks appreciate it 🫡
@@jwmeale3058How much are you thinking of selling for? I wonder if you will have made money (with the pure man math of ignoring maintenance cost and inflation!) due to the increase in their prices by the end of it
Depending what you get for next and what your needs will be probably the best decision you made. I sold mine a few years ago and I never regretted selling it. Few years back they were great cheap cars for track/everyday use because they was super cheap. Now not so much and it's just making the car super worthless in my eyes. You can still get a few cheap ones but for the money you have so many better value for money options.
Unsure really, depends what funds I have - got a big holiday and a wedding within the next 14 months so will see! 😅 Dont think I’ll stick with something this long again, but time will tell. Thanks for the comment 🤙🏻
@@jwmeale3058 Anything but a Mk8 Type R. That's so cheap for a reason I bought 2 different ones to see if I just bought a crappy one at a time but omg it's a horrible car. Tried many petrol cars but this era and my kinda budget for a car is limited. I'm glad I ended up trying a E92 Bmw. It's much bigger and I'm a small person wanted a 123d but that has many issues and the interior looks too simple for me. Ended up with a 330d 140k miles fsh etc £2500. Did the gearbox oil change and regular stuff obviously. Apart from that had to replace a lower control arm and ball joint on one side, nothing else for 2 years. I really loved my Clios because they're good little fun especially on a track but I personally wanted something that's good for everything. I'm looking forward to see what you end up with ☺️
@jwmeale3058 very different, I have both but there's not much on the market for the same money as the clio that will do the same imo, with kids the 3rs is the perfect toy for an all year round car
Thank You! for all the videos and tutorials which I still go back and watch :)
Appreciate you always watching mate 👍🏻

Ah man, well you won’t have trouble selling yours! Love a white Clio 🤩 They sure are, the belts price made me feel ill 🤣 No worries, been good fun.
Saludos desde México, sabes de alguna página o lugar para comprar algunas refacciones o extras para mi clio sport???

Good man! I haven’t really thought about it till recently, never owner anything but a Clio and it’s time for a change for me! Good luck!

That’s fair, mileage condition etc all plays a big part. They will be for sure, one of the last proper hot hatch’s imo. Appreciate it, thanks!
so what project is going on after the clio?
Clios are frustrating when you own them but by god do you miss them when they’ve gone. I want another.
Oh I’m going to miss it alright. Been great fun.
I think you'll need to get into a BMW to not want back into the Clio soon after you sell it!

Really enjoyed seeing you working on this over the years. Good job not spraying yourself in the face when painting the rear of the sills..
Thanks! It went surprisingly well actually 🤣
You will be back, Clios are infectious
The fact I’ve had it this long and couldn’t see a path to anything else. Speaks a lot for itself. Will see where we go from here. 😅

I’ve just sold my Monaco 172 I’ve had for 7 years was sad to see it go but move onto something bigger and better 😎
Exactly that, got to see what else is out there. Got to sell to fund sometime else!
You've not tracked it yet, your missing out!
I always wanted to and it was the plan. But then went turbo instead, would of stay NA for track I think.
Noooooo sad day this! Got my MOT on Thursday so I may follow suit lol hopefully not though!
Sure will be when it goes! I hope your mot went alright 👍🏻
JW - We need content, come back!
Meg 3rs, even in standard form its just much better, or an fk2
Completely different cars for a Clio 182 in my view but if that’s your opinion 👍🏻
@jwmeale3058 very different, I have both but there's not much on the market for the same money as the clio that will do the same imo, with kids the 3rs is the perfect toy for an all year round car
Do love this thing
Thanks mate
