Going to see a 172 tomorrow...

Hi all, haven't been on here in ages!!

Bought a Clio Extreme 4 as my first car but traded it in for a Suzuki Swift Sport in July 07.

Now it's time to give up my wee swift as it's too dear. So, there's a cheap 172 close by that i'm going to view tomorrow. What should I look at eg common faults etc before committing to buy?

Cheers, Nikki

A brand new suzuki swift (1.6??) costing more to run than a 9 year old french hot hatch with bits falling off???

Good luck with that.

 

[n1kk1]

Yeh 1.6, cost's an arm and a leg on finance and this will be much cheaper lol

bits falling off???? haha

and yes, it's silver.

Make sure its got service history, a new cambelt if its high mileage as well . Expensive job to do if not.
