I reckon I'll get it for £2800, just had cambelt done, 68000 miles on the clock, there's another 180 I'm interested in with 32000 on the clock but it's up for £3400

Put a gearbox in and sell it mate, 307's arnt sought after for parts really unlike the 206 Wink

32,000 is a good find these days though! Would make you're money back on a sale. This one is a beauty though. Ha

I know I'm tempted by the one with 32000 on the clock, it's red, here's a pic of it

Yeah thats what i was thinking tbh, and less hassle of taking the whole car apart

Exactly Luke, whatever it costs to put the gearbox in you will make back on the sale of the car

I didnt mean there was no picutre, I was just wondernig what so much better about the black to the red?

Oh right lol, the black one is £600 cheaper

#19: Re: Think this is gonna be my 180 come Friday :-) Author: LeeThr, Location: North West Wales PostPosted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:36 pm

Ah right, more or less millage?

#20: Re: Think this is gonna be my 180 come Friday :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: Nuneaton PostPosted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:41 pm

The black has more mileage, the only thing attracting me to the red one is the fact it has such low miles, trouble is I'm going to be doing 14000 miles a year to work sobthat low mileage one will soon be a high mileage lol, they've both just had a cambelt change, also the black one is only 2 miles from my house, the red one is slightly further away

#21: Re: Think this is gonna be my 180 come Friday :-) Author: LeeThr, Location: North West Wales PostPosted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 7:35 pm
    ----
Ah right fair enough (= I think you should go and take your high millage to something not quite so rare Wink haha. Only joking mate hope you get either one and you do enjoy. it. I also call shot gun for a spin if your ever up in my area Wink

Never been in a 180 Sad

Why have they both had cambelt changes allready at such low millage? Is it a peugeot recommendation or is there some design fault?

#22: Re: Think this is gonna be my 180 come Friday :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: Nuneaton PostPosted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 8:02 pm

Your meant to change the cambelt every 60000 miles or 5 years whichever comes first, and shotgun is yours Wink

Get the red one!! for 600 quid more the mileage difference is well worth it.

I know the red one is definitely tempting but I will be doing a fair few miles in her, if it was just gonna be a weekend car I'd get the red one as I know I'd be keeping the mileage low, I'm finding it hard to choose between the 2

#42: Re: Think this is gonna be my 180 come Friday :-) Author: Harry, Location: Stafford PostPosted: Thu Jun 16, 2011 4:05 am

It's safe to say the red one is a far better investment, in the sense you won't loose out on as much money. Depends what colour you want really Laughing

Well to be honest I'm not a massive lover of either colour, black because of the fact it shows every blemish, and red because of pigment which makes them fade in the sun, there is one more option I've seen but the blue is not a blue I've seen before?

The red will fade, they always seem to. The blacks are hard to keep clean.

But silver is boring Razz

You need to clean, polish and wax the red fairly often to keep it looking good, otherwise yes it does fade and looks gash.

How did you destroy that silver 180?

And it is Aegean blue it's just the camera not fading... mine does it all the time in some shots looks like that other pug blue but in real life nothing like it...

Mine dark;

Honestly view it, look at the amount of sun light that's exposing the pic to the right of the bonnet, it's 100% Aegean blue trust me Smile

Definitely augean blue. I've viewed quite a few that look awful in the pictures but are fine in person. Blues the best colour IMO.

Common for a reason though bud. If not, go for the red. Im currently on my first black car and it was such a mistake!!!

I'd rather be different than have a blue 180, I've never seem a red or black one in the flesh, seen loads of blue ones though, I agree they do look nice but way too common a colour

Well given the choices id go red because i think its the best colour on a 206 and its lower miles for not much extra cash. Just curious though if your doing that many miles a year for work why are you buying a uncomfortable little hatch that does at best 30mpg Laughing ?

It just doesn't look like Aegean blue to me

If its not Aegean its not a 180. The picture is pretty poor that could be the reason why it dont look like it.

The 180 only came in one shade of blue and that was Aegean.

The reason for another 206 is it's just a car for work an back, also my stepdad is a master tech for Peugeot so I get parts at cost price plus no labour charges Smile
Also I agree Jamie it must be the lighting on that particular pic

Does it feel much quicker than the regular GTI you had? I've never driven both so I can't compare..

Lol dont start that argument up haha

I drove them back to back in 07' and there was a big difference, The 138 felt slower than the fiesta ST I drove before it.

You have to thrash the 180 to get it to move though!

As above it actually feels slower than the gti138 in low revs,the 180 is quicker if you put your foot down or thrash it, I think the 138 is more practical for town driving,and yes seb it's about 2 miles from my house

But if your racing your always going to be at your optimal unless you can't drive so the 138 doesn't stand a chance.I have had plays with 138s and they're not really in the same league. My 180 is around as quick maybe quicker than my modded vts which would literally leave a 138 for dead and certainly (both through the corners) 180s on stock suspension!

#133: Re: Think this is gonna be my 180 come Friday :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: Nuneaton PostPosted: Fri Jun 17, 2011 7:45 am

Yeah if racing the 180 would win there's no denying that, I'm just going on experience here, I had my 138 for 3 years and I've now drive 2 180's and both times I've thought the 180 doesn't feel perky in lower revs, doing 30 in 3rd if I touched the accelerator it took time to pick up where on my 138 it just felt perkier, I don't know if this is to do with the vvt or not?

#134: Re: Think this is gonna be my 180 come Friday :-) Author: JamieM PostPosted: Fri Jun 17, 2011 7:51 am

Yeh VVT kicks in @ around 4.5k iirc think without it the engine would be slow as fck tbh,

But like I mean in a race your litterally going to be in VVT as you'll be roasting it:)

One thing I did notice was that the 180 felt much more planted at speed and in the corners. I also noticed the ride quality in the 180 was worse due to the bigger alloys and stiffer suspension lol

I can't believe how cheap the 180s are getting almost no difference in price with the 138! I'm seriously thinking about working a few weeks and buying a cheap 180 (under 2k have seen high millers go for that) and stripping it and tracking it!

#135: Re: Think this is gonna be my 180 come Friday :-) Author: furryhobnob, Location: Nuneaton PostPosted: Fri Jun 17, 2011 7:53 am

Yeah I agree suspension wise it will be better in corners, my 138 had vortex's on so I'm used to the bumpy ride lol

Wish they didn't suit the 180 so much or they'd be gone lol.

I think I'm going to make my ride quality worse with Eibach sportline 50mm & torsion lowering to suit though lol

Thought about B8's but I don't plan on tracking this particular number nor want to spend s**t loads on suspension. The last one on pro kit 30mm springs saw a vast improvement so lower must give better results lol.

I think i'm just going to keep the standard dampers on mine and put some springs on as I really can't afford expensive suspension for now lol. Are the eibach 50mm springs too low for them compared to the 30mm?

I'm going to do it soon, when I get the penny's should be ok?

I had the Pro kit @ 30mm, unsure what the extra 20mm could do without uprated dampers, I'd bet it would be ok though...

You really shouldn't have 50mm springs on standard dampers it's common sense. Why would you not uprate the shocks as well? You can get decent shocks that will handle and last a long time for under 200 or even less if you are on a budget and it makes sense to change them at the same time as the springs seeing as you will need to remove the whole strut.
