Buying Advice/Guide

[ben22evans]

Hi guys I'm new to the thread. I am on the verge of buying a 200 2010 plate in White. I couldn't find a thread on here regarding my question so if there is can someone redirect me.

Basically I'm just wondering if anyone can offer any advices or guidance on what I should look out for when viewing the car what areas are problematic. Is there any areas on the car that need special attention

Cheers

Ben

Check for any clunkiness or grinding from the gearbox.

Thanks. The only thing putting me off at the moment is that I've spoken to the mechanic that I use and he informed that the build quality is poor and that the electrics are a nightmare. He said that the electrics are not reliable and costly to repair? Im torn between a clio and a civic any advice?

Clio. The 200's aren't half as bad as people make them out to be.

How many clio 200's has your mechanic worked on with electrical issues?

The renaultsport clios are built in the old Alpine factory in Dieppe and are mostly hand built. Ive found no problems with electrics on the 3 cars ive owned but i would advise getting one with as low miles as possible, cup chassis and recaro seats as they will make it easier to sell when the time comes, ultra red, racing blue or grey imo are the best colours and black Speedline wheels are nice. Look at this Silverstone edition on Autotrader.
