help im new what is this worth

[teeach]

right been offered a clio 1.8 16v for a straight swap for my mx bike my bike is valued at 2000 approximatly

what u guys think?

 

[Ibanezman]

What year and milage etc ?

 

[kully]

weclome fella to CS ......car defo looks tidy , price me not 2 sure .

 

[teeach]

92 ]not sure on milage the car is 300miles away so its not something i can just go look at and turn down if u know what i mean , those pics where taken today, im really in 2 minds

 

[Martin_172]

hard to tell without knowing the millage, id say its not worth 2,000 unless its pretty low milage but im no expert

Mileage is always useful, do you know what mods it has had also....... £2000 doesn't seem cheap for a 92 car, is there something special about it ?

 

[teeach]

so how much do u think it would be worth with say 90-100 on the milage

 

[teeach]

ronal turbo wheels stainless steel exhaust k&N and original alloys thats bout it

As others say, you need to know more about the car, find out if it is the original engine, gear-box, if the clutch has been replaced and the cam-belt...................just have a chat to the bloke and see how clued up he is on the car, if he knows sod all I would stay clear, as valvers always need some type of attention in some way.

I would say £900 is it is a shi*er.......£1200-1400 average and £1800 for a cracker.
For £2k I would expect a low milage car with A LOT of history.

 

[Pat_986]

Does look clean, I must admit

 

[Daniel]

is there 700 quid in used notes in the boot??!!

If not, then i'd def not swap a bike worth 2k for that!

 

[DynamiqueDebz]

I'm definitely no expert on these Clios but, (someone correct me if they think I'm wrong) firstly, the drivers door looks like its a slight different colour from the rest of the car, (could just be the angle it was taken from) secondly, (again correct me here) Is the space where it's parked badly slanted? Reason for asking is, looking at the pic of the back end, it appears to be leaning quite badly on the right.

I do agree however, (being as these guys know what they are talking about) unless she is in top notch condition and has plenty of history, I would not have thought she is worth 2k.

Like I said, I'm no expert, just my opinion.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

^^ how well put! Very dignified of you!

Mine was 1750 3 weeks ago, Full service history up to 10k ago. Engine rebuild at 61k. bodywork pretty mint... (A few dents) had 72k on the clock from a trader too... I would say, even if the bodywork is superb, 1200-1350 tops. 100k is about average mileage for these, and that's an average price...

 

[teeach]

ok its got 85k all mots full service history one tiny bubble of rust under pain on rear arch

 

[seb]

1500 max imo, i would want it for less tbh.

 

[cat171]

2k will get you a decent late valver - with about 80k on the clock, with a stack of bills.... it will prob take a bit of looking but it is possible.

tbh I wouldn't swap a bike valued at 2k for that one.

 

[Scott]

I wouldn't swap that for a 2k bike tbh, engine bay doesn't look very tidy, missing covers, no heatshield etc.
Up to £1500 is more like it for a '92 imo.

 

[DynamiqueDebz]

The fact that it has all mot's and full service history is a pretty good sign.
Do you know someone you can trust that lives closer to it that would go and take a look at it for you? In my opinion you can not really make an informed decision unless either yourself or someone 'in the know' can check it out personally.

Good Luck!

 

[paul_h172]

i would have thought around £1400 - i paid 600 for mine,93 L reg, fsh, all mots 115k on the clock, no rust in the body work, needed a few things doing to it like cam belt and steering coloum was fooked.

 

[teeach]

mm i dont know anyone in that area just asked him about recent wrok etc..
yeh just, its had new cambelt, clutch, water pump, and engine and gear oil changed about 500 miles ago
