Pick it up next saturday.
1 owner
10,949miles (Serviced at 10,931 by Renault Dealership selling the car on 12/12/03)
Bought from Camden Renault Milton Keynes originally
2 new Contis (other 3 are...
Woohoooo!!!
Ive had my loan approved by the bank.
Now its just down to me to choose!
Just found another couple of cars that I want to look at.
2 x Red 172s on 02 plates, one in beckenham and one in Hemel Hempstead.
Gonna be a fun weekend.
Guys,
That would be superb, if I could spend some time with you.

I am in Maidenhead on Saturday at my parents near Cox Green, so if anyone is about then?

cocopopsmakes a good read what your saying - GO ON BUY IT !!
Im just trying to look at all angles of purchasing a 172.
So far this morning, Ive found out that the warranty on the "new" ones from Trade Sales starts from when Renault...

Ah right, you are here CocoPops, Ive just posted a link to the above letter over at OcUK!
lol, yeah. I jump between here, hexus.net and ocuk :)
Just trying to find out about Cypriat cars as technically they are not in the EU? Even...
What about a car that comes from Cyprus?
As far as I know Cyprus is due to enter the EU on 1st May 2004.
So does this mean that Cars from Cyprus have the 2yr warranty?
Both the cars listed above are in Black.
I dont want Silver, no disrespect to those that own silvers, but I think there are too many about.
I would have liked to have seen the Blue 172 but havent found one anywhere.
Both options above have 2yrs Renault warranty, the black ones at TS are...
Took the wife and had a test drive of the Clio 172.
The car we tried had done 10,200miles, so was nicely run in and ready to go.
First Impressions:
Comfy Seats (even the wife agreed)
Very quiet (I was expecting rattles/road noise)
Very nippy
Overall, I was most impressed. The wife...
So does the warranty start from registration date then?
Or from when you go an register the car with your local Renault Dealer?
I am very tempted to buy one of the black 172s from Trade Sales as they fall within my budget.
Its either an 02 plated one with 10,200 miles or a brand new 172...
Recommendations and prices Guys, thats wot Im after.
Must have the following:-
CAT 1 approved
Tilt Sensors (Stop alloys getting pilfered)
Full Boot/Bonnet/Interior protection
Nice features Ive seen and would quite like, but not essential are:-
Remote Start
Automatic Window Closing on arming...
Good thinking on the CD Changer/Changing Stereo idea.
Gonna be putting my iPod in the car via an iTrip, so no real need/urgency for cd changer.
Would a new CAT1 alarm interface with the car ok?
Work alongside Renault immobiliser or instead of?
What kind of cost am I looking at?
I guess...
So on top of the trade sales price, Im looking at alarm and 6 disc changer as they dont come with them.
How easy is it to get a CAT1 alarm/immob etc fitted? Does it lock in with the orig renault stuff?
Does it need to be a specific cd changer? Renault provided?
Any other...
They have some new Clio Sport 172s listed at £11k, which when I see used ones on AutoTrader for that price, they are tempting.
Are they UK cars with 3 yr warranties or imports with 1yr warranty?
Do they take P/exchanges?
Im certainly leaning towards them as theyre prices are very keen...
Well I went and looked at a 51 reg 172 in Silver today.
Nice tidy car, although somethings put me off.
1.) Pushy Salesman
2.) Original Ad said "12,000 miles", car had 14025miles
3.) Original Ad said "8695" when I got there, the car was 9495
Told the wife I was considering a Clio 172...
Hi,
I currently own a Primera (Yes, stop laughing now)
I want something more sporty, dont need the 4doors etc. Need a bit of Va Va Voom in my life.
So, Ive been looking around and the 172 looks a likely candidate.
I stumbled across your humble abode and after wiping my feet at the door...
