Costs wise, we just paid £6k for a '53 plate 172FF with 55k on the clock from a dealer, so you might struggle to get what you're after unless you go private.

Cambelt change at 5yrs or 72k, costs alot if you go through renault but you can find a decent mechanic that will do it for 3-4 hundred!! Nothing to worry about, you will prob find most performance cars need a belt change at similar age anyway, exept alot of cars cost alot more as it tends to be an engine out job.

You'd be making the right choice with a clio....lots of fun but this is a clio forum so most people will be slightly bias!!!

hi & welcome

aux belt kit @ 36,000 miles or 5 years approx £240 supplied & fitted on 182
cam belt kit @ 72,000 miles (& aux belt) or 5 years anything from £450 to £850 depends who you use
few threads on here at mo, with regards to belts etc, just hunt them down...

I agree mines a 53plate 172cup 50k on the clock for 5k!

We spent ages and bought the best one we could, and I don't mind paying a little over the odds for what I think is a fairly decent car. Trust me, we looked at a lot of shi**ers for £4-£6k... Plus it had to be from a dealer, cos we couldn't offload our old dynamique onto someone privately. It was fu**ed.
