i'd say 2k max really. but like its already been said you can get considerably lower mileage 172's for 3k.

Id say 2.8k would be fair money. havent seen any considerabley lower mileage for 3k.

Higher mileage is higher risk, but sometimes pays off.

Just gotta decide if you can afford to have it go wrong.

Thats not a bad price IMO. Don't forget its near it 144k cambelt service though.
Don't let the milage put you off the engines are very strong and to do that milage it must have been a lot of motorway miles and its been serviced ever 5 months so the engine probably got little wear on it as the oil never got cold.
I'd try and get it down though as the cambelts £500 or so and its near another service and whilst you won't probably be going to Renault still calim the Renault price to knock them down.
I'd be looking at £2.6~2.8k. The thing to note is condition and how it drives. It might be needing new shock, ball joints, rubbers for the ARB's etc to top up the handling thn if you need new brakes and pads front and rear that can be £200 in parts alone.
Still its a cheap price for a Renault sport when you think abou ti.
Id buy it if that were looking for a cheap RS Clio. Even if the engine goes you can pick up new ones for £500 or so even brand new crate ones are £1.2k then say £300 to swop engines and replace the fluids.

cheers mate this is what i am after, all over comments are very helpful as well. will use this info to haggle on price. I already have a mint 2 year old 172, and was gonna try and get this other one cheap and see what i can do with it. I'll put an offer in of 1500 and see what happens.
