[fugel]

My sister is looking to buy a Clio and has been to see one at Premier Cars in Peterborough. Link below.

The car has done 66k miles and they will sell it to her for £3,300. Seems quite a low price for an 03 car, that is in mint condiiton despite the miles..

Anyone used this dealer in Peterborough and any advice whether this seems a good deal for her?

Thats quite high milage for an 03 plate car though plus the Experssion isn't the popular spec as its a bit low.

72k service includes cam belt which is about £250 including the service so IMO get them to knock that off.

They're going to do the cam belt as part of the deal - is there anything she should look out for to check on a Clio that age? She's seen the car and it is immaculate and has a full Renault service history... Should the high mileage be a worry??

Milage isn't an issue realy the 1.2 engine cheaply built but they can take a load of abuse.

Check all the electrics etc work and the engine has no problem with uneven idel etc.

Not much to check for other than general wear any tear and rust but if there rust probably means crash damage.
