Getting New Clio - Advise Please

[imran-16]

Im getting a new clio only have 3000 as im not in the best finanical state lol, im 17 i will be 18 in 6 days
ive seen a used mk2 ph3 1.2 dynamique with 50,000 miles for 2970
is 50,000 too much? i only need the car for 1 year so for another 10-15k miles
should it hold up ok?

50k is nothing, although if its quite a new reg search around more as there are plenty of bargains.

 

[Russ_16v]

yeah that mileage is fine chap

i looked around, and ended up with a 1.4 black dynamique, 51reg, 65k miles, fsh, a/c, cam belt replaced at 61k, the full works basically.


all for 1800

thought it was a bargin tbh.

what reg is 2004, because i really want the ph3 mk2 with the digital dials, i live in northern ireland aswell and ive used every site for here i can think of but i would travel across to england etc to get a deal like above:O

 

[Russ_16v]

2004 is either '04' or '54' mate

 

[imran-16]

if i did buy a car over in england how would i get it back because i wouldnt be insured?

 

[Russ_16v]

trailer would be the easiest way id say chap

do some research on insurance prices now. On 1.2's 1.4's or what ever u want. Get a rough figure and the company that is the cheapest. Once your over here, you will know what u can get, a case of rining the insurance company and taking a policy.
Or buy the car, say u will pick it up the next day, go find a net cafe, do the insurance then your sorted. Best way would be to spend a day over here so your not rushing.

Good luck, there Are some good deals out there, jus got to be patient and look

 

[imran-16]

yeh that sounds like a good plan

 

[Brett]

Sounds like a good deal to me mate. 04 Dynamiqies are nocking around at indipendant garages for £4K still.

[coatesy]

just sold my 02 1.2 16v Black dynamique for £1500...that was on 78k

50k isnt bad mileage
