is £4600 a good part chop price??

[Pep]

for my clio, 1.2 16v dynamique 3 door black 2004 with 22k on the clock??

all i need to do is MOT it at renault to get an extended 12 month warranty and thats it.
would i get much more privately?

 

[Pep]

just to add, on parkers it says £4300

 

[C.slicker]

That looks pretty good to be honest.

Also take the headlight covers off before you give it to them - they will never know and I will have them off you for a fiver.

[terribleclio]

depends what it's on mate.

 

[Pep]

head light covers?how you mean?

rigth, i never said i would give them the tax, but never said i wouldnt if you get me, so should i just take it if i go through with the deal?

and also the mats etc?!

 

[Pep]

bump

 

[Paddy_g46]

take the tax out mate, they wont notice and if they do just replace it

 

[kiza1986]

Sounds like a cracking deal mate... i think they'll expect the tax in that price but i'd take all the other extras out that you have like mats etc 'cos they'll more than likely put them paper things in anyway...

Kiza

^^ Just read the post above so take the tax out....

 

[Pep]

well they never asked how much it had etc...

i dont know what to do, i might sell it privately, or is £4600 too good an opportunity to miss?

 

[edde]

Thats not a bad price realy book price is about that say £100~200 less.

Private you maybe get a few hundred more.

 

[Josh@Renparts]

sounds a good price..

 

[Pep]

thanks for all the replies.

can anyone else give me some ideas of a car please?!

 

[edde]

Do you mean another car we'd recomend for the money?

 

[Pep]

yeah, something fairly fast, nice car etc.

was thinking about a 106 rallye, but ideally a car v reg or newer because of my private plate, but not essential.

got upto 5.5ish k

Is a 172FF out of the question due to insurance?

 

[Pep]

yeah, cant insure one for less than 3.5k lol

 

[AlexS]

I guess you must be abit younger than me then.
Best quote ive had is £1400 fully comp. 1yrs no claims, 2.5yrs driving experience, no points, aged 20.

Everyone raves about the 106 gti's but I find them abit flimsy, and too small, the interior isn't as nice as your Clio either.

 

[Pep]

im 18, 2ncb in july, 3 points and a non fault accident.

Have you thought about a Fiesta Zetec S, Puma (bit ghey but handling is spot on) or even a Clio 1.6.

 

[edde]

What about a 172?

Citreon Zsara VTS Ok not that cool etc but different and there quck cars realy underrated. You can get 03 plates for £4k with 60k trade, an extra £400 and you'll get 53 plates with 30k or so.

MG ZR they did a 1.8 120hp model good handling cars.

Seat Ibiza/Leon the diesels are quick and they do the 1.8 Turbo engine in the Cupra's and Cupra R's which has the typical tunning potential.

3 series BMW

 

[Pep]

172 can't insure or really afford.

zsara vts i just really dont like, not a fan of citroen interiors

dont really want a diesel, unless it is very fast!!! and i cant insure the 1.8 Turbos.

3 series, wouldnt get much for my money would i?

Have a look round you might be suprised.

Sold but you get the idea.
I ve looked at 3 series Beemers myself, the main problem is you asked for something quick and the 316 is slower to 60 than your Clio.

hmm, not a big fan of the fiesta's, dont like the interiors. thanks for the help though.

yeah i know, the BMW's arent the fastest until you start getting higher in the range.
what else is RWD and fairly new?!

MX5

[Pep]

wont be able to insure either of those though, i know im being picky!

still could do with it being usable size...

thanks for all the help i know im being awkward!

 

[AlexS]

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/135491.htm not rwd but good value shame about the exhaust.

Can get the previous shape for less, but the new shape looks better, depends on whether you can deal with the rover image, but they really do handle well and the twincam 1.4s are nippy enough.

 

[Pep]

Jesus christ, to insure a ZR 105 is...wait for it...£4k!

thats more than a 172!

I thought you lived in Spondon not Baghdad! They are only group 9 somethings not right there.

Audi A3? Ok for the money you won't get the same type of car but still.

Golf GTI Mk4 2.0 Ok slow as a snail realy for its GTI badges but its got the badge and the name debadge etc and few might notice

 

[Pep]

i know, just done another quote, first was with norwhich union, just done another with elephant, both come out at £4k near enough, spondon must hate ZR's!!!

hmm, doesnt have to be super fast if its super cool!

 

[C.slicker]

Yeah make sure you take mats out and spare wheel etc...

As for the headlight covers no worries - i was only messing

But what do you have to lose (apart from 16.99) from putting it on autotrader for 2 weeks on the internet @ 5000. People will always ring you with offers.

Put offers welcomed or whatever.

Certinaly worth a go IMO.

just having a look at a mk4 golf 1.6...

the GTi non turbo is £1600 on renewal, bit more than im willing to pay at the minute to be honest...

Noooooo don't do it! I went with a friend of mine to buy a mk4 golf 1.6, which he bought, handles like a dog! And the tyres on it, check out the profile of the standard tyres fitted to steel wheels on mk4 1.6's, you need a can of tyre shine for each corner!

 

[Pep]

lol, i really don't know what to get!

i want something different from all of my mates etc, maybe stands out a bit?

reason i want to change is im fully qualified in about 18 months, and i want to keep a sensible ish kind of car until then, however i want something a bit bigger and with a bit more poke than my clio...

Tbh Ibiza diesel is not *that* crazier option. One of my deps at work had one and f*** me did it shift! The torque is amazing! I know Diesels aint all that cool but it used to do my 182 from standstill (Soon caught up though) and will do you for a year or so. Plus with the economy you can save some $ and get a even better car next!
