Ropey old kangoo; £500 upwards. Ideally one with a snapped cambelt or a fcuked diesel pump.
Smashed up clio £5-700.
Labour to fit it all in; Depends on who does it.
No. Don't be a spastic.
You do your research before you go. Find an appropriate insurance policy and pre warn them of the pending viewing. Go and view the car. If you buy it, ring them back (the number should be in your 'recent calls' list on your mobile telephone) and ask them to start the...
I can't believe nobody has thought of a problem for this complex situation.
Of the millions of cars sold every year, why has nobody thought about offering a service where by you call up and insure your new car??
why haven't they done it Deeg? Why? WHY???
Yea, older renaults will never win any interior awards!
I'd hazard a guess at the rear spolier being painted by someone. Even when we were selling them at 3 years old (for like, £6999!) the rear spoilers were starting to pickle up.
A yellow megane coupe was the first ever car I got paid to...
This has been in my watch list on ebay for ages. Months in fact!
If it wasn't yellow i'd probably have it by now.
I think they're really good looking cars.

Early 2.0 16v meganes were great. They have issues with rust and immobilisers packing up but other than that they're pretty good!
Make sure Cambelt and water pump have been done. On such a cheap car, most people don't bother with proper maintainence now.
I love my phase 1. Like, properly love it.
But every cup i've ever had (lots!) they do genuinely feel notably faster. Apart from the R26R, i've had every renaultsport in the range and for some reason, 172 cups do feel quicker than all the other clios.
But I would personally have a ph1 if...
Can't you find a detailer locally that offers a safe wash?
Taking cars (That belong to enthusiasts) is a disaster waiting to happen. My dads car gets 'washed' by them every 3/4 days up in london and i'm not s**tting you, it looks absolutely fcuked. His once blingy big calipers are rusty piles...
I get it all the time.
''How much for just a wash mate''
£10.
''Nah man f**k that, I'll take it to the polaks, they're only a fiver''
Good bye. *mutters under breath* good luck with your rusty calipers and stained wheels you f**king penniless cretin.
Above the rear lights are some black grommets. If you can spin them with your fingers they're fcuked so either silicone or new grommets. I've had to do a couple of them in the past. Worth checking.
I'll stick to my 5ltr of detergent for £17 and it dilutes 10:1 for door shut grease it's that good! lol.
Incidently, the same company has been supplying my polish for years. I got it out the other day and it looked, smelled, went on and came off exactly the same as my AF triple.
Oh not putting his work down at all, he knows I wouldn't do that.
I just think these detailing companies could try a bit harder to prove the strength of their products.
I appreciate these products are for the 'enthusiast' cleaner, but testing an APC on a car that's a) really new and b) not very dirty isn't really a good indication of what it can do.
IMO.
