Hello! Quicky: With £3.5 -4k what's the best bet?



  Focus ST170
Hi Guys! :cool:

Just a quickie!

Just Sold my BMW 330 Sport (baby boy on the way!) and bought a Focus Zetec for the family car.

I'm looking for a fun car for me and I'm thinking a Clio fits the bill.

I just wanted your view and wondered what's the best bet?

1) Ph 1 172
2) Ph 2 172 (higher miler or Cat D - Stolen Recovered)
3) 1.2 Dynamique... :D

Cheers,

Ben

^ They were sold to finance the wedding and buy a nicer house! :(

All the toys have gone, hence me trying to grab some 'car fun' back!

New house renovations and babies do that to a man... You have been warned! ;)

Get a nice williams and have some change with that budget.

What would you want the car for? General driving on the weekend with the occassional trackday?

Go easy on me, I'm a n00b :)

Why Ph 1 FTW? Is the Ph 2 is 'just' a cosmetic overhaul? :quiet: And did they fook it up?

Are they pretty durable?? I'm hoping his is an exception, but my friend's Cup is made of chocolate... :S
 
the ph1 172 is apparently the better built clio compared to the ph2 172... unless if you wanna pay a bit more for a ph 172 cup.. some ph1 172's have the rare options of alloy bonnet/shiftlight... (like mine)

yes. ph1 ever so slightly quicker and better throttle response. cheap. should have cambelt done long ago, cheap tyres to replace and you can get a straight car. Rather a cat d or high miler ph2. Only go for a ph2 if you like the facelift styling.

well never seen a straight decent ph2 go for that price.. there you go. pm the opening poster with details im sure he would be interested?

plus considering the cup was a grand cheaper than the ff when it came out do you value yours at 4 k anyway?

i'll speak to him mate and give him the guys name and leave it up to him. i've not seen many at that price either but i think the problem is with so many about they aint always selling for top whack fella
