Clio 197
Hey guys, finally decided to make my first post on the forum!
I signed up a while ago when i was thinking about Clio 172's and the like, and have finally decided to go for it and enjoy a fun car while I can - started off looking at 172's, but decided I'd rather push my budget to the newer 182's.
I'm also looking for a bit of advice. Tomorrow i'm planning to go to a used car dealer to check out a 182, and had a few questions about its pricing. The car is an 05 plate and has done around 72,000 miles and claims a full service history with recent cambelt change (hoping that will include aux belt as well - especially at this age?), also claims cup pack (spoiler + alloys) and is supposed to be in very good condition.
The price is £3,993. How reasonable is this? What sort of figure should I be looking at for a car like this? It's a small family run used car business, not a main dealer or anything big time. I also have a car that I'd prefer to part ex and have been offered 2,500 for it as a straight sale to Evans Halshaw, so thinking around this mark is fair given that a diesel Corsa is probably a better prospect to a car seller than a high performance French car
(it's a 2004 turbo diesel Corsa with 59,000 miles on).
Is mileage much of an issue if the car seems to have been looked after?
Thanks people, it's good to be here
