Im about to buy a Clio... !!!

[biglunn]

Im very close to buying a Clio 172 Mk 2 (51 reg 2001) for just £7000! Its been owned by 2 owners... once by son and now by mum. And looks pristine with only 24k miles! Now, the car has one prob... the front wheels (FOX Evo 3) are quite scuffed! But Im sure that its not a big problem- a quick refurb may do the trick!

Now.. I would like some of you guys to give me some last minute things to watch out for. The wheels have been damaged as a result of mature woman not being good at parking. Any possible problems as a result??

I am excited!
