51 plate clio

[Nigel]

I've been offered a 172 FF. 27,000 miles. Silver. 51 plate. Import. Couple of dents down sides. Some small dents in bonnet. Exhaust needs changing. Interior ok just needs a good clean!

It has new front tyres and brakes.

What kind of price do you think I should pay?

Any thing I should need to check?

I've had a look on autotrader for a price but just wanted to see what your thoughts are.

how big are these dents?

 

[Nigel]

Quite small. They happened early this year. They had a hail storm and the hail was nearly the size of golf balls!

Around 5k I'd think?

 

[Kinsella]

i'd say in between 6 and 7

purely as its a buyers market,

 

[Kinsella]

did not see the import, nothing wrong with imports but everyone would sooner buy a uk one probably 5.5 to 6.5

^ 7k is getting low mile 53 platers on the Trader mate

I'd offer around £5k, probably lower wouldn't go any higher than 5.5k absolute max.

Clio's have droped in price soooo much in the last year, its a shame as its alot of car for the money !!

 

[Kinsella]

this time last year i sold a W reg saxo vtr for 3.6k - grand and a bit more and theres 51 plate clio 172 FF knocking around, Glad i sold the saxo when i did haha

 

[Nigel]

So if I got it for 5k it would be an ok deal but nothing spectacular?

 

[Nigel]

Dbl post.

 

[jimmyriddle]

i bought mine for 6k on a 51 plate and 32,000 miles last year, but it was in good nick and it was RED (best colour)

 

[Ad]

yeah 5k would be fair, as they age the import part becomes less relevant.

closer to 4.5k the better.

 

[Nigel]

I doubt I'll get it for 4.5K. I'll try somewhere in between!
