Clio 172

[mestew87]

I have been offered an 03 plate clio 172 with approx 50000 miles on it for a really low price, I done a hpi check and it came back as being recorded cat d. Would any of you still buy a car on a cat d ?

 

[the_prophet]

depends how low the really low price is. can get a decent one with no issues pretty cheap nowadays. or just buy a ph1 as there cheaper still.

 

[Paul_LY-182]

[mestew87]

Maximum of £2000 prod able to get ot for £1900

Make sure you can get insured on it, as some insurance company's wont touch them.

Checked insurance already, its slightly more expensive than a normal 172

 

[DannoTheGreat]

like the others have said, depends on price

 

[calum001]

you need to ask yourself the question why the seller hasn't told you it's a Cat D in the first place, if they are hiding a major thing like that is there anything else their hiding about it ?

just make sure you give it a good going over

Will be waiting until January at the earliest to view the car, might try and arrange a inspection via rac, i am a member with them anyways

Also as well, if the insurance company have to pay out on it, they'll give you less than a non-recorded car (as it's been paid out on before)

I'd be wary.

As asked before, WHAT IS THE LOW PRICE?
