Clio Trophy?

[STRBramley]

I'm looking at buying this car and wanted to check here before in case anyone can spot something I haven't or can think of some more questions I should ask other than what is stated in the advertisement.
The belts were apparently done last year by the previous owner who was a Renault engineer.

Thanks,
STRBramley

Looks nice. Only negative that I see from having a quick look over the photos is that theres no splitter.

 

[Mikeyjp]

ask if the sach dampers have been refurb'd

 

[Lal B3N]

Maybe worth trying to get in touch with previous owner and asking him if he did do the belts.

No splitter as said so maybe haggle the cost of replacing that off the price.

Front tyres look different from the rears.

 

[peanuthead]

If it was me I would want a receipt of the belts being done. Might be just me being untrusting, but no receipt I would treat it as it hasn't been done, I wouldn't take someone's word.

 

[R-Sport.]

As said no mention of belts or damper refurb-

needs exhaust mounts as well ( as usual )

Interior very dirty- they could have cleaned it....
EDIT-

Its hard to trust a dealer saying belts were done by a previous owner- unless as a minimum there was a receipt for all the parts-
No receipt = no belts-

Also you have no idea whether the aux belt kit was done - 80 k = 2 aux belt changes....

Buy mine everything has been done with receipts to prove. ..

​Have you even driven yours...

Good call, if they havent you should try and get 200-300 off the price. They expenive to refurb!

 

[Chi]

Yes love it but it's not getting used. .

A quick look on ClioTrophy shows that No. 246 has never been registered on the website so there is no history there.

As said, no receipts no go!

 

[Sam@NP]

no mention of cambelt and only says 'service history' so that will be pretty minimal then. Doesn't pass the tyre test either

I just looked at the price, s**t me that is expensive!

 

[Stefan.]

Surely there are better trophies about!?

 

[keo]

Thinking of selling my Trophy next month, ots done 50k dampers refurbed last year, pro speed exhaust, aux belt this year, cambelt about 15k miles ago iirc i will need to check. If you would be interested?

How much you thinking?

 

[Krys_23]

Massively overpriced that one on ph!

 

[Chi]

I personally think most are under priced when you consider the extras they come with...

Yeah I think mine is probably worth more in parts than as a complete car.

 

[Wick]

With no proof of belts or dampers that's about 1500 over market value IMO at a minimum. Far better has sold on the forum for considerably less for that in the past 3 months.

 

[Jon.G]

£5k. LOL.

 

[STRBramley]

How about this?

Overpriced? Maybe knock them down?

 

[Saamm93]

Could be worth the money if the body is in good shape. Does seem very expensive though

 

[STRBramley]

Only issue I can see is the steering wheel needs a refurb, but that's nothing new.

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

HOW MUCH?!?!

 

[R-Sport.]

mate you choosing all the shi**ers!

 

[Saamm93]

I dont think its massivly over priced. I've seen T's go for over 5k with work that needs doing.

To pay over 5.5K I would expect it to be mint with that amount of miles though

something like this with a haggle price!

 

[Nik]

Yep, massively overpriced. I paid £3200 for mine with same mileage a couple of months ago, and dampers and belts had been done.

​+1 seriously!!

I'd rather look at this

I've driven the Trophy advertised, good condition but the brakes don't work and it's overpriced. It's for sale on behalf of a friend of the dealerships owner.

More like 450 in the UK after all the ones that have been written-off/broken/taken to foreign shores.
