Going to see this for my Mrs....

[FlameR]

My missus is getting her first car in the next couple of weeks. She has see a 2005 clio for sale at the local Renault Sunwin garage (known to be a bit of a rip off).

It's done 37k miles, looks in good nick, fairly standard spec...

It's up for £4990, which to me is a bit over priced...but everyone knows you pay more at a dealers for warranty and to allow for the salesman's commission.

I'd buy private. That is well over priced imo. Put it this way, how much is a 2005 182 worth? They go on here, pistonheads etc for 5.5K regularly, some especially mint ones more obviously but still.

So they're selling a 1.4 Dynamique for only £500 less than what you can get a decent 182 for. Also with that budget i'd be looking for a dci 80/100 with all the kit.

Could get something much newer/with less mileage for that price. Rip off!!!

 

[Golgarth]

agreed you would be better going for a diesel with that budget

 

[Ronnie R]

Oh no no no

doesn't really work like that. Small engined cars are worth as much as big engined at the moment due to running costs.

Also buying trade is more expensive than private.

I got my 1.6 2003 Clio with nearly exactly the same milage for £3350. It was 5 door (maybe worth more?) and was the privilege series I think that is meant to be more luxurious?

It is too much in my opinion, you should be able to get them down easily

Fair enough but this is a 1.6 16V we're talking about here not a 1.2 or dci. Its a decent sized engine, running costs won't be hugely less than the 2.0

If it was a dci 80 or 100 then fair enough, £35 RFL, 60MPG etc but a 1.6 16v makes little sence to me personally.
