They both look good, i cant decide! please help me!

 

[TomS]

Naples!

 

[Saner]

The secong one is from the club! Bubbles had it and now Waiteys selling it! Thats the one i'd choose cause i Know the history!

 

[Rich]

What Tom said!

 

[GarethM]

def the naples one, as said its off here so it will have been looked after, plus the blue one is rank imo

 

[Gareth]

Naples definately.

 

[Leeshez]

Niples i mean naples it is a nicer looking car

 

[Nealy_16V]

:clap: Im glad! thats the one i like the most, i was just worried about the mileage

 

[Pat_986]

Naples all day long!
If the top one is genuine milage it is due a cam belt anyway......there's £300 at a garage easy!

 

[recaro182]

Naples wins hands down

 

[Paul C]

top one looks cack imo! naples one looks nice! high mileage but you can get another engine for £300!

 

[MattyH16v]

Def Naples m8, all the way!

 

[dannyboy172]

Isn't some one selling a naples on here, with 17 inch momo arrow's?? Can't remember exactly who's, but it looks quality and a snip at just over 2K if memory serves????

Edit: Stand corrected its this one, but i see you've already posted:

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=110626&highlight=16v+naples

Masitaly wheels not momo's, what a dumb ass i am!! lol

 

[Neil G]

Definately prefer the Naples one

 

[Ads_172]

Naples, glitter paint is very much last season.

Anyway, the modifying scene is all about performance over style now...

 

[Turkish]

Neither of those two, for different reasons. I wont post up why as no doubt it will cause trouble.

 

[Pete]

I wouldn't go for the first one because of the paintwork and I wouldn't touch the naples one because mileage, it's not just the engine and gearbox you have to worry about.

 

[Nealy_16V]

I see where your coming from, the other naples is sorn and 100k + too, im after a 16v pref a naples one but i need it soon as my car has already gone

 

[Scott]

i can highly recommend Naples it looks great in most lights and isn't too common.

i personally wouldn't get one with over 100k though.
however waitey's does appear to have been looked after and serviced well.

 

[GeeUK]

Get the rally ****, there is no other option...

 

[TomS]

Over 100k thats been serviced should be fine, quality engines..

 

[Ross16V]

Dannyboy172,

thats my car now, and i lov it too much to sell it. ps the wheels are 16".

go for the naples valver, best colour!

 

[dalla]

IMO, you should go for a Low mileage, standard Valver, that way you will bet almost certain that it haven't taken to much of a beating!!!

 

[polarbert]

have you tried autotrader?

to be honest ebay is probably the last place i would look for a car

 

[Nealy_16V]

There isnt many off autotrader to be honest, im looking at williams too but its gonna cost to much on the insurance

 

[Scott]

theres three naples on this page mate, one of them only has 82k on it http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW/cars_search.asp?page=1&modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&make=RENAULT&model=CLIO&variant=16v&keywords=&min_pr=75&max_pr=&mileage=&agerange=&postcode=de55+1rr&miles=1500&max_records=200&source=0&photo=1&sort=3&ukcarsearch_full=SEARCH
depends where you're from and how far you want to travel i suppose

 

[Nealy_16V]

There is a nice one on the forum, its just in croydon which is a trek! PM'd

 

[Scott]

Pm'd me or the seller mate? ive not received one.
that blue one near croydon looks v.nice

 

[Nealy_16V]

Aye, it looks lush, its just 300mls away!
Worth the trip for the right car though!

 

[Scott]

i reckon so, iirc somebody travelled up from the isle of wight to somewhere near here to fetch a naples red one. Might have been Ross16v who's posted in this thread although i'm not 100% sure who it was.

 

[Nafoff]

yep as said above it would have to be the naples.....

and also as said above i wouldn't particularly like to buy a car with 100k + either but this is different as i know from history that it has been looked after....would go with waiteys

Check out the phase one in black! thats proper!!

 

[Ross16V]

Scott-16v!, yes it was me who went up to get the naples one mentioned earlier. It wasnt a problem, and i got a fun drive back down. Just make sure its in good enough condition before you travel up.

 

[Scott]

^^the one in green on autotrader looks mint aswell!!

Ross - thought it was mate but couldn't quite remember, looks like you bought a decent example of the best colour

 

[Ross16V]

yeah the green one is nice. not seen many valvers in that colour tbh

scott- sure did mate, def the best colour, specially when its just bin cleaned and its nice and shiny.

 

[Nealy_16V]

The black one has 107 on the clock, damn it!
Waiteys is a mint motor, i love it im just seriously worried about the mileage, there are 2 blue 16v's in teh forsale bit that are both mint with 70k on the clock, im just waitng for them to come online

 

[cornburn]

Why are you so fussed about the mileage? My valver's on 125k and it ran sweeter than any of the others I looked at, some were on 40k less at the time. They're good engines if they're taken care of, you could find a shagged 50k one if they've not looked after it. 100+k miles is only average anyway, they're old cars. I'd go for a standard, sweet running one with high miles. You'll pay less for it then because there'll always be people who want to pay more a low miler, no matter if it doesn't run as nicely as yours. They're 10+ year old french cars, they're all going to have needed practically everything replacing at some point unless you find one in a cupboard in the back of the factory Getting a cheaper one also leaves you a budget to do a few bits, has anyone on here bought a valver (more than two weeks ago) that they haven't needed to spend money on?

 

[Nealy_16V]

Cheers Cornbun, thats what i needed to hear!
Wheres waitey

yes me, i bought a near mint one last May and all i have had to spend on it was having the front brakes sorted for the M.O.T. back in september. Apart from that its been 100% reliable, she's just gone on to 85k. Imo its worth getting one thats been looked after.

 

[tim16v]

Try this one instead....its mint
