Whichever has fuel
Why?? Have you seen it?
No, thought not. Keep your opinions to yourself until you know all of the facts.
Cars get registered wrongly at the DVLA all of the time. I've currently got a 2007 Seat Altea on my forecourt thats down as a Stylance but its a sport. Last month I had a BMW that was an SE but was on the logbook as a sport. DVLA make mistakes.
All ''whydidibuyfrench'' needs to do is get a lettr from a renault dealer stating the cars correct model and send it to the DVLA and they'll issue him with a new V5 with the correct details.
You're scaring the bloke for no reason without knowing what you're talking about.

My Clio was down as blue when it's silver so yeah it does happen quite a lot I wouldn't worry to much mate.
i don't really think i should matter should it? i guess from the work it had done that it was vandalised at some point ei. the windows and paint screams of keys and bricks to me so y should that effect the price if the work is good? if the paint is clear and the right colour and the windscreen is such that bugs don't hit u in the face then its worth every penny of one that hasn't had a hard time . it just needs love 
if its a nice one which from thhe sounds of belt and mileage it is then its worth every penny of its £1500.
sorry rant over

agree whole heartedly. I've seen no end of 200sx's that have "executive" on the logbook, 3 of my own had it, but they were all 1993 models and the exec was only made in 1991. Pure and simple DVLA oversight.
I also bought a green mk1 golf once, and the logbook said silver. I found the VIN plate and it said something like "Silbergrun" which i assume referred to the light metallic green it was (imagine metallic snot) clearly been mis-read as silver from new.

I'm aware of the DVLA being spackers, but this is what would worry me.
This. ^^^
You assume that all the info the DVLA hold is correct. Far from it.
On older cars from the 60s and 70s it's even worse.
Wrong or no colour, wrong or no model, incomplete VIN numbers. Some don't even show a manufacturer.

1) It's not a 172 exclusive but a monaco blue 172 - So the V5 is wrong and for piece of mind check with Renault (although careful they may say it's a 1.2 as their systems can be a pain as well) once you know what's what, get the V5 changed if it bothers you mate.
2) £1500 for a CAT D is a tad on the high side but if it's been done properly, MOT & TAX as you say then don't worry about the little eatra you paid just enjoy the car
3) My father-in-laws Merc on the V5 says it is a different model to one it actually is so yes the DVLA do get it wrong mate and it may be and I hope it is as simple as that for you

it bothered me as i thot it was a ringer or a plug but seems ok , must be an error at dvla . very clean car just in getting a few bits n bobs fixed and changed
clio 172 exclusive c
thanks for all the info i got back ( shitting myself there for a while ) but 1500 run around for work and back aint to bad . had it put on the computer and ramp sound as i got it , needed a new set of plugs as the spanner of a previous owner put the cheap shite plugs in it , also full stainless on as the middle sections r weak and 2 rear wheel bearings being replaced also . anything else i should look out for ppl ?????

Sell it, buy one that hasn't been buggered around with. But good luck finding one.
RB 182
Sounds fine to me, personally I'd never buy accident repaired as they are a nightmare to pass on and I don't like the idea of not knowing the damage/ quality of repair (as anyone can say "oh it only needed a few scratches spraying") but if its had a full respray at a Renault garage then I imagine its in better condition than most up for sale!
But yeah if someones offered you £500 more than you paid sell it and get another one, there's loads to pick from.
