Problem you have with the V6 is that there is so many components that if they need replacing cost an arm & a leg-
In terms of a 'buyers checklist' for the vee it needs to be as long as your schlong in terms of questions, but also visual checks / mechanical
I wouldnt buy a second hand vee...
i indeed know that- however i spend hours & hours a week involved in Clios-
Its like comparing chalk & cheese-
Joe soap looking to buy a car still operates under the same perceived rules as before-
Actual quality of car, mileage , SH & number of Owners- its only real enthusiasts that study...
it may not be bad in terms of they all cared for it- but on paper 10 owners is a kick in the nads-
You try selling that on with 11 owners---- Zero chance...

Its a FF 182 with Cup packs - Spoiler & Splitter-
the only thing that cannot be deduced is the suspension as its running trophy Turinis-
The MAJORITY of FF 182's have cup packs-which include the suspension, although not all of them...

On 72k you will need the Following-
Cambelt Kit-
7701476675
Auxillary belt kit-
7701477519
( kit consists of Auxillary belt + pullies & tensioners)
*IF* the full aux belt kit was changed on the 36k service you may only need a new aux belt + cambelt kit-
Check your service book- there...
LOL at the Cliosport hagglers-
You wont get a MINT PH1 from a trader for 2k- ZERO chance-
Once youve established when the belt change was completed & that theres evidence of that-- Ie stamped book then if hes local I would go in with 2.5 cash & chances are you secure the deal-
Make sure...
LOL-- agree about the standard alloys-
As for price- its bordering rediculous-
*) worst time of year
*) Cambelt not Changed
*) NOT really one of the desired colours ( i had one it was hideous)
Economy etc etc
Value for that- 16k in the summer 15.5k tops in the Winter- market very slow

I have just sold a LY this week- ( Previous owners is slightly high- which is at the detriment on Price-) However barring that I had the belts done- I couldhave sold it 20 times over - for well over 7k..
Mileage was 34 k-
For the OP the one listed on EBAY - 70k, partial service history & no...
^^^ Im afraid thats wrong-
It is 5 Years or 72k whatever comes first-
(Thats cambelt 72k 5 years & auxillary belt 3 years + 36)
£500 isnt bad for Renault dealer- Although IIRC its around £300 at a specialist because you dont have air con-
S
agree with most except the belt service-
1k from SG motorsport which is both belts & tensioners, fluid drain on coolent + brake, air con regass & service IIRC
looking at the ad its probably get there by the time you price up something like the belts- 2 new tyres- perhaps new brakes bits &...
If I was you & your set on buying a Clio 172 then for a £10 join the forum- you get access to pretty much all the info you need-
Look on the home page im sure the buying guides are on there-
A few bits-
Make sure you see the receipt for the belts-
Ensure he has the owners packs- including...
