Re: Renault Sport Clio 182 - Looking to buy as an exciting daily drive. Talk to me pl
Then my advice would be find a low mileage racing blue Full Fat 182 ( all the options) you should be able to get a really good low mileage one under 50k with FSH & belts done for 45/47 private
Racing blue &...

trophy has A/C instead of Climate control-
The dampers ideally need a refurb at around 40k-
You lose the Zenons, lose climate, & some other non essential shizzle-
You do get Recaros though that are nice...

Use all or your budget + a couple more hundred for a really nice trophy-
Or save a couple of k & buy a mint 4k 172 cup.....

it is worth what someone will pay- but 26k for say 4kmiles or a low mileage 20k miles one that pops up in PH from time to time at say £17/18k - 10k difference in miles doesnt = 8k in price
S
If you were looking to trade back down- I would buy something like an 03 Plate monaco Blue 172 low miles for around 3k & have some pennies in your pocket
S
Bout £800 overpriced- its a silver 172 with gash tinted windows...... no usp at all- 4k lol-
Id probably list that £3300 & hope....... -- after detinting the windows

Its the fact that the belts & tensioners are 6 years old & over time they perish- at some point irrespective the will perish so much that the belt goes twang or the tensioner seizes-- usually the aux belt one IIRC
best get the belts done for the peice of mind if...
in terms of looking for a PH2 Id want 14k in my back pocket- Id be looking for a low mileage Illiad or poss black for around 12750....
If you have the wedge wait for a LY ~ 17.5k
Ive sold 6 or 7 & the LY is by far the most sought after.....

I think you should join Cliov6.net-
Also Ali has a good owners thread on here-
However how bigs your wallet- firstly whatever one you buy I would have a GOOD £500 spare for emergencies as part cost an arm & a leg-
- FSH is essential as is low owners-
- Cambelt & water pump should have been...
I am 'guessing' & again this is from a pure looking in POV- This is one person with a small business selling cars that previous owners had no chance of selling- in my eyes you then have a lottery of whats available- a bit like buying something from an auction- occasionally a reasonable one comes...
Trade price cars - essex- doesnt inspire me with confidence....
The clue is in the name- bottom dollar for heaps of sh*te-
Personally I would buy from one of the classifieds on here- plenty of nice examples

200 ff doesnt drive the same due to the difference in steering rack.... depends if your good enough to notice- Im no sterling moss but I thought the cup handling was epic..
