Been a while when someone has asked for advice and not taken it.
If you have the money (clearly you have) and want to try a Clio 182 and have a nice ownership experience. Stop looking at those types of 'project' cars.
Just buy a nicer lower milage example and keep it mint.

So then you’d have spent £3800 which is exactly what l want for mine.
Except that l’ve spent a lot more than £2,000 on it.
And it was a good one before l started.

You can if you want 100k+ mileage.
Mines on 150k and better than most others.
I have changed most rusty bits though.

It was more so that working on the car could be fun...but then again!
Fair point...i think that is probably most sensible way to approach it
What would you class as low mileage - less than 75k miles?
Yeah 75k is probably below average now, anything under would probably add a premium. Beware the cambelt on thiow milers though. The black one linked earlier that was around 75k had the cambelt done on mileage in 2016 or 17, it's 72k OR 5 years for the belt! 7 years overdue was very lucky imo.

Yours would be a car I'd go back too. Clio ownership.
Miles wise, anything below 80k ISH imo.
If you want the ownership to be good, good cars command a premium.

£3.3k if you can deliver and you can have the money Saturday?!?! Come on landy!!!
Ouch - I don't think you would get a polite reply from me!
Unless your 2 miles down the road there is a 0% chance I would be delivering a car to anyone, especially for a 15% discount. Just imagine how annoying it would be to break down on the way haha.

It could have been changed at least once before.

Lol. Sure. Maybe take the family out for a meal too. :/
Lol, to be fair if I had another driver with me it would be eaiser...but guess depending on location perhaps trains could be an option for moi?
That said, all conjecture for now!
Could have, but the services and mileage were listed in the ad and it only said belts done at the 70odd k service?. Full service history, just not serviced right?. When I bought mine the seller said belts were done 30k ago so are good. They were 5 years old but he wouldn't have it they were due. I had to pick every tiny fault I could find to get a few quid off the price.

You haven’t even seen the car..... how can you make an offer without seeing it!!
I’m away anyhow until the 19th.

Was that the one at £4995 with the belts done a few hundred miles ago in 2018 by the Citroen dealer?

Still think you should just keep it though ??.
Between yourself and the previous owner ( @NaplesValver ?) and the documented work done on the car I'd say it's one of the safest to blind buy.

Yep that's the one. Lots of Renault stamps until the most important one???
It’s a well cared for car for £3.3k - doesn’t sound like too much of a risk buying unseen - especially from an enthusiast!

Yes I did consider that slightly odd.
If you look at it a little deeper, it is not that sinister.
Dinnages are in Haywards Heath, East Sussex, and Wilmoths are in Uckfield, about 10 miles away.
If the Tech at Dinnages changed employers for more money, or a shorter journey to work, it is not inconceivable that the owner, having established a rapport
with said Tech, took it to where he now works.
One thing is for sure, the dealer in Southend did not take it for a belt service in Uckfield.
The actual details of historic service work are largely irrelevant, other than proving the oil has been changed regularly, in the same way that what tyres it had in
2011 is of little interest to any potential buyer.
Only information required is belts done 3 months ago ( as long as there is a proper invoice ) and it`s got 4 PS3`s.

It didn't seem to be on sale for too long - right cars at the right price sell quickly!

Mine was up for sale at the beginning of December for £2500, I'd had so much interest via here, and Facebook, but everyone was either miles away or not fully committed to actually buying a car it seemed in the lead up to Christmas. It went on eBay a few days after Christmas. Counted up the messages last Friday and across here, eBay, Facebook and gumtree, i'd had over 60 people message me about it, around 1900 views on eBay and 99 people watching. Strangely quite a few people messaged me asking about the belts being done, which was quite frustrating given that its clearly mentioned twice in the ad, and i'd probably gone overboard in the add with info (maybe the issue). A few low ball offers of '£1500 cash today' even when the car was up at £2.5k
I lowered the price to £2200 (£2300 on ebay) last friday, and it sold Sunday evening.
I really think it should have easily fetched £2500+, but the clock change seemed to put a few people off, and it's always harder selling cars around Christmas time

I was tempted tbh.
Your advert was spot on imo, especially with the pics and in depth detail. iirc you have done that with previous cars?. And to get offers or be messed about would annoy me hugely.

A lot of scaremongering over belts being overdue, wife's 172 is now about 40,000 miles overdue belts.
