Cheap 172 cup but with no service history???

[Noj]

seems very cheap but something must be dodgey with it

Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole! No service history and the front and rear bumpers (at least) have had a (not very good) respray

tbh at that price a hpi is a must and if all checks out ok, body work looks good, engine seems ok, could be worth £1000 cash in hand (i know he said no offers but still, worth a try!)

 

[Noj]

could make a half decent track day car though

worth more in bits.

Engine £550
Gearbox £275
Alloys £300
Spoiler £125
Alternator £100
Bumpers/ side skirts £125
Grilles £35
Bullets and strips £55
Interior bits and pieces £200

Interestingly if it has 12months ticket then apart from some advisories it should be 'ok'. Lack of history isnt ideal obviously, however for peace of mind a belt change on a cup is the easiest to do and a full service would also be worthwhile, so say £600-750 bracket for that.

So for circa 2k you have a track toy or whatever you want to use it for. Could be risky, but depends what it drives like and what condition is like.

could be a fake add maybe too

You can get dodgy MOT's fairly easy still mate.

Tbh its worth going to look if your local as you never really can tell how bad a car is from pics, very easy to hide things from a lense.

 

[R20 CWH]

of course, few eagle eyed cherries have commented on the paint issue and also its missing the splitter, so who knows the MOT could be rotten, the car may be cat c/d, might be a right pup.

Its 350miles or so from me, so it would be a flight down job, be better if it was 'local' for a gander etc. Could always try and find out what dealer in the midlands supplied it and see if there is any evidence of service history at that dealer.

I think thats a scam advert.

If its not, its fcuking cheap!!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Its £1350, who cares if its a rough as a badgers ar5e lol ... worth more in parts.

 

[R20 CWH]

Honest abdul answered the phone earlier - too good to be true

 

[Josh@Renparts]

Still got traces of gaffer tape on the number plates, has come from a salvage management company, probably copart.

 

[Josh@Renparts]

Oh, and headlights are different, one grey insert one black insert. lol

 

[R20 CWH]

yeh clocked that so probably cat c/d

 

[DrR]

I'd defo go take a look atleast if i was near it.

The tailgate looks funny too, "clio sport" badge on the right hand side... a non sport tailgate maybe ? sounds like its been hit at some point. Also the coolant is black, might just be the pic but...

tasty

just noticed the quality paint job on the red renaultsport wording on the plenum

 

[Sir_Dave]

You lot all care too much.

It would break for more than £2k. Instant profit.

 

[midge]

Ive been trying to ring for this but get no answer everytime

sounds dodgy as f**k!

 

[Nick r26r]

the car is worth a punt at that money , so what if it is cat d/ cat c , its a bargain ,

 

[Austin-182]

ideal for 1350! doesnt matter what condition its in, if it fucked you could get money back in parts. at least have some track fun till it breaks lol then sell the parts, if i was close and this is genuine id take the cash and buy it
