[Shakeitdavey]

Hey all, new to the forum since my girlfriend is after a Clio.

We rang up and are going to go view this Clio tomo, just wondered what you thought of the details and if its a good price for its mileage etc..

Also, what should i look at, to make sure its a nice steady car.

Heres the clio and details...

04 reg
29,000 miles
silver metalic, 12 mths MOT, CD player, e/windows, c/locking, p/steering, immaculate condition inside & out.

Thoughts?

If thats a 16v and not the old 8v, its cheap as f**k!

If uoi don't buy it, pm me the number and i'll go and have a look!

If its an 8v, then its priced about right.

Thanks pal, i don't know anything about the make, i need to ring tomo again nice and early to ask what the adress is etc.

How can i find out if its 8v or 16v ? parkers doesnt help, because i don't know if its a dynamique or anything lol

If its a 16v it will say it on the rub strip and if its a 8v it will say 1.2

Hope its not like the other clio i test drove. It was a 2002 RENAULT CLIO 1.2 16V Expression. The only things i found funny about the drive was....

The handbrake felt very very loose, as in it wobled left and right, and didn't seem strong.

The other thing was everytime i changed gear it jaggered and jumped a little for every gear, jus't wasn't as smooth. That normal for these aged clios?

Are they common faults for the clio ?

 

[Da]

Not really no, maybe just a rough one you drove? :S

 

[Shakeitdavey]

Went to see it today, we didn't buy it.

The car ran like a beauty, had 3 owners, had 29k miles. The wheel trims were totally screwed, had few scartches on the front and counted 6 dents around the bodywork. The g-f didn't like it unfortunately. I actaully liked it.

She said she definetely wanted a black clio so going to keep lookinmg about for one. Thought i'd let ya's know !"
