clio cup 182

Hi people im new to this site after being on saxperience for many years after owning a saxo vts :rasp:
ive just sold it last week and now after finally managing to get a half decent quote for the 182`s, only reason im going for the 182 as ive taking a liking to the twin exhaust :cool:, ive found a really nice blue 182 cup forsale going for 3250, on 49k miles, its from a trader , but the only problem im having is hes very etchy to sell the car rang me twice today to see if im still interested, just got a few questions to ask if thats ok :S

1. is the price abit cheap for a clio cup on that milage ? as i thought garages seem to sell cars more than buying private
2. also the bonnet on the drivers side above headlight, seems to have a bigger gap then the passenger side? is that normal or is it likely to have had a bump as the drivers side front wing looks abit darker then the door? i know there plastic so that could be why, but il try upload some pics off it and will appreciate it if i can get some honist but not harsh answers back ;)
ps ive done a hpi check and came back as not been scrapped ect...... but came back as 4owners , (garage said it has had 3 on the website) ?

its in the racing blue i think they call it? light blue :approve:

thanks Adam :star:

I errr wouldn't touch it if it looks like it's had a bump. Seems like a slightly below average price too and maybe that's why. Only thing you could do to be sure is go and see it and check it out

Car had a front end bump and the front bumper has been resprayed (missing black stickers in the middle "grill").

People do say the wings can be a shade out because of the material difference. Bonnet does look higher on one side though. I always start in the middle ofthe bonnet with an index finger underneath and run it round, should be an even gap all the way round. look at the wings under the bonnet, the bolts (if they're newer one side than the other)

I'd be giving that a wide berth tbh and not even bothering to go and see it. If it looks shabby in photos what's it gonna be like in the flesh?!

Where abouts is that one for sale? It does suggest its had a bump to the drivers front corner looking at the pictures but only real way to tell how bad it was is to view it. If it has good service history and is up at that price I would still view it but if its had any chassis damage I'd leave well alone.

Ahh okay I was going to say if it was up this way I would happily take a look round it and see what condition it is in and what damage it has had in the past but that is no where near me :(

they guy rang me today as last week i planned to go see this car originally today around 4, he rang me up at 10am to confirm as i didnt get back to him about viewing the car :/ oops, i was straight up to him and said ive spoke to a few people including my dad whos a car resprayer ;) and every one has said its had some sort off front end bump/knock wether its minor or has been badly damaged at some point, hes really adament its hasnt had any knocks what so ever, i said about the stickers missing in the middle grille and the bigger cap under bonnet and he said it might just need adjusting , and that the stickers could have been taken off , the 2 little stickers look better on IMO so why would some take them off and spray the jet washers from black to blue ? as ive also heard they come from factory in black ? he just said they the previous owner proberly just colour coded them lol, he trys an excuse for everything, but if he doesnt he wont get rid off it that way, should go view it and point it out and then see what he says ? :/

Nope, he'll just fill you with more sh*t face to face, if your that easily swayed over the phone you'd be a salesmans dream face to face

i personally wouldnt bother unless you know what your looking at and dont mind buying a repaired car. might have only had a front bumper respray due to chips and may not have been fitted very well (its also missing a splitter). as mentioned belts are due costing 600+ but if it hasnt been in an accident the price seems reasonable for the milage and the belts being due.

I'll keep an eye out for you, mate. I used to own the Silver/Grey Clio 197, then owned the Red Clio 200, and now own a White Megane R26.

Sounds like you got a good deal!?
