The other thing if the other chap is a serious buyer on a forum you may be able to line him up at a mutually agreeable price and timescale and give you the chance to find something else in the meantime.
When I sold a car through a forum had some one of interest lined up from 6m before. Went to...
Only you can make the choice.
Had plenty of cars I wish I still had. But equally look at the cars I have owned (& actually used, not garage queens) since. So think its all about owning as many as possible before they turn of the taps.
If I got CLIO CUP for £20k I would want to keep. Would...
I would wait & see what the Collecting Cars one goes for and adjust your price based on it being lower miles & having that plate. Remember it has fees on top of hammer price.
I probably would have went £15k for that car on the basis of the low miles & the plate being worth a couple of grand...
Nice Stance on that assuming its got spacers as well as lowered.
How did the person interested approach you?
If someone was just to randomly say they were interested in buying my car and was not selling I would add a couple of grand on & see how badly they want it.
Have had notes left on the...
Although another thought is if you look at that recent Tolman 205 GTI for £100k. Rebuilt with 200 bhp,
The 182 & 200 are exactly what they are trying to restomod the 205 GTI albeit with a little (172,182) or lot (197,200) more weight.
Compared to that Clio's look a bargain.
I rewatched the Top Gear. Not sure it comes out that well. Not sure if its because Captain Slow driving. Or its lack of Torque. Seems to get criticized for that. I would happily have it over those other cars although may be different against a 2017/8 Fiesta ST200 or Mk8 Fiesta ST or 208 GT by...
I know V6's been near the £100k & Trophies got above £20k.
But this AG Clio 200 Press Car with 'CL10 CUP' plate is on Collecting Cars. Its on a roll.
I may have had a punt myself at £15k (inc fees). Even with that needs a bit of paint and Recaro's sorted. Too rich for me now...
When I was up in Scotland last week. My Wife was in the back with daughter and Mum ( 76) and my Dad in front (81). All ok barring some help passing seatbelts.
I have had my Meg Cup-S for 5 years. Its my daily (5k per year). Although use my Push-Bike most of time. Just normal servicing for me but only on 25k.
Just back from 1200 miles in it. Wife in Passenger Recaro, Daughter in rear (13 now, 8 when bought) Her legs getting longer but my wife's are...
Horsham also had a water leak which closed everything. So lucky we were not affected.... I went to Guilford with the family. This was rumbling about. To late to get a proper picture.
It was mine. Interestingly I was explaining the mammoth spec it had. And that I was so tight that I would not have paid for it new. Then I saw a zero spec car (well except for the paint) in Horsham & thought how lucky I was.
Great meet. Could have done with the sun coming out but barring that.
All the worry of those Porsches filling the car park was taken care by filling all the other Empty (because it was Sunday) car parks.
Some tasty stuff there. I do have a hankering after a Porsche Spyder and a few on display...
At least the Porsche guys actually have Porsches.
The Clio club cant even muster up a Clio. Can we have at least one we can stand around?
Or maybe we have made the Clio an aspirational car?
I am gonna wear my Porsche T-Shirt to add to the confusion.
I am just looking at this to see what cars to watch for passing me in the opposite direction. Flash me up if you see me.
Ay least I have a Renault..... Closest to a Clio. Gave it a clean.
This is so close I would be mad not to show my face. Providing I don't have a newly fitted kitchen that needs painting.

But not in the wet.....
Seriously interesting budget tyre review online showing wet handling & braking for tyres that only save a few £ compared to branded.
Worth looking at the age markers. Any rubber likes to flex a bit so old rubber can get pretty rigid. Hence the cracks. Some people say 5...
This is std formula for nice modifiable cars that sold well. As opposite to nice cars that were rare.
Get Modded, Get Tracked or Crashed, Numbers Drop. Values Climb. Get stored & driven on nice days by old dudes.
Clio 182 Lifecycle. ST just needs another 10 years.
I imagine a 200 bhp 1100kg Fiesta is not far off the pace of a Meg 275 with 275 bhp and 1400kg.
Power to weight down a little but torque to weight probably bang on.
