Clio v6 - yum but hummmm

[Laura]

shite title sorry.

Just had a clio v6 in work

got me thinking again, i vowed i would own one before i was 25

but they are still pretty expensive (id want a ph2)

what do they get mpg wise...

probably a non starter but it just made me look twice

 

[R20 CWH]

1) 14,5k should get you a nice sub 30k miler on a mk2
2) The one I drove got 23mpg while I had it for a few days
3) Servicing and maintenance is what will shag most folk.

 

[james_swimmer]

I don't want to get shagged by servicing and maintenance whoever they are, so think i'll steer clear...:butt:

 

[mat-nos]

sell that vx and the audi and get one, prob the same sort of mpg as the tt....
you only live once

 

[Mike_182]

£16k for my minter with all it's major servicing done for the next three years.

Mike, I thought you were keeping it?

 

[D2501]

That is a damn fine looking car Mike

 

[Weeman]

16k, i didn't realise renault had forged these from solid gold, explains the handling.

 

[Marv-C]

Buy it. You know you want to :evil:

 

[Gally]

Lols at 16k.

 

[D2501]

LOL shh I'm buying a 197 tomorrow

 

[JayR]

Lols at 16k.

How much should it be worth then?

 

[Gally]

2 twix's and a packet of monster much (flavour dependant)

 

[Weeman]

Looking at pistonheads even more LOL

You could buy a V6 laguna and a clio 182 and make your own for less than what some of those people want lol I saw a Mk 1 at 14k pmsl and it had sold, must of been a long and straight road upto that blokes house, Unless he took about 6 for it cash.

 

[Gally]

Flol.

 

[JayR]

16k does sound abit much for a Barry boy'd Clio that doesnt handle tbh.

 

[Mike_182]

16k does sound abit much for a Barry boy'd Clio that doesnt handle tbh.

So why did you buy one in a different flavour?

 

[JayR]

LOL - Chill Winston! I was pulling weapon as the others were!

Why jump on me but not them!?

 

[Ralphizzle]

But how many years have you left before reaching 25 Laura?

 

[Ralphizzle]

£16k for my minter with all it's major servicing done for the next three years.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1506840.htm

That's a minter indeed!

 

[Jamie]

It's a nice car the V6. I'd like to try one but unless you're very committed, 16k seems alot of money for a Clio. Similar to the ECOS in that respect.

 

[Ralphizzle]

It's still the über Clio... no matter what!

 

[Bubbles]

the last liquid yellow sold with 10k miles (needing cambelt this year) for just over £17k... admittedly to the editor of Evo... but values on Vee's are all over the place. crap time of year to be selling really

 

[JCC]

It makes me laugh to read adverts like the v6 one! I don't want to read chapter and verse of salesman bullshine... Just give me the pertinent facts and not your verbal dhiarroea about how great you think the car is

TBH I'd rather see a long advert, shows the owner actually has a clue about the car they're selling meaning it's more likely to be well looked after. Instead of the usual 3 or 4 lines written by chavs/idiots telling us "It's well fast m8" and expecting someone to buy it.

 

[Revels]

The simple truth is that people like to buy cars they don't have to do anything to. It's why I'd never buy a car that just 'a little bit of work' because I'm a lazy fucker and it'd never happen.

Car 1 - £10k - £1k service done.
Car 2 - £9k - £1k service needs doing.

Car 1 will always sell first. Yes, the cost of the service is added to the price, but the buyer doesn't have to worry about booking it in, finding a place to do it, hire cars, hassle, worries it might be more expensive etc etc.

 

[Bluebeard]

If I was after a V6, i'd buy the most fully maintained one I could get.

I've seen the bills from the big service!

(Someone on here spent £4k!!!!!!!!!!)

 

[Mike_182]

Aye - £4k is a touch steep (main stealer price for what I had done maybe?) but mine easily saw £2k. For someone to suggest that it's 'wrong' to want a fraction of that on top of the price for one without the work just demonstrates how out of touch they are...

Well he had discs/pads, Cambelt kit, Clutch, Two tyres, Major service.

Its a no brainer tbh. Why buy one that hasn't had it all done??

It seems the mods will not allow me to give my opinion, the stage is all yours

Maybe try putting your opinion across without calling an established member's advert 'verbal diarrhoea'? Or maybe even thinking about what you're putting, because common sense didn't prevail in your post.

What you said was you'd rather buy a £14-15k car and spend £2-4k on it, than spend £16k? Is it any wonder you were treated as anything other than a forum troll?

f**k that for a game of cricket. Front disks - £500. Rears are £300-400 from memory. Pads are another £100-£150, tyres are £200 a pop.

Beast of a service. I did mine over 3 weeks so it hurt less! LOL!

 

[VIICarCare]

seems abit steep at 16k for the milage? I got mine last march with 9k on the clock for 17k!! 05 plate

 

[Mike_182]

Not again...

IF I want opinions on the price of my car, I'll ask for it.

 

[Revels]

Mike, if you're going to post up a link to your advert then you have to take the criticism of the price.

If you don't want anyone to mention it, don't post the link.

 

[devfuse]

i will 2nd that!

Ok.

Right, challenge then Dawn as you know best, find me one in immaculate condition with near new tyres all round and all servicing up to date without a mark on either the inside or the outside for cheaper.

Simple challenge.

Allow me to correct you on what I was saying....

Your "flowery" advert gives the impression you would be asking 16k for the car anyway and the buyer is getting the work you've had done for free

you've got a high miler v6 worth 14k without the work, you paid 2k for the work and hey presto..... Your advert says 16k

 

[VIICarCare]

lol, i dont want to ta! I was simply commenting on your advert, that you chose to post! Good luck!
