im after a Clio as my first car and have been keeping an eye on the market for a little while now. I saw a Black 2002 1.6 16V Dynamique+ advertised for £4000 and thought it seemed like a good deal as the other ones i have seen have been going for about £4500. I have just come back from seeing the car and the seller said that if i pay cash and collect in the next few days i could have it for £3700.
The car is in good mechanical condition with everything working fine. It only has 27k miles on the clock as it is only used as a second car. It has aready had its 36k mile B service and at the last MOT (Feb 06) only needed the break pads replaceing. It is the Dynamique+ which means that climate control is included. Does no have any scratches of dents to the body work.
Only small bad points. Could really do with a good clean, as even tho it is working fine it has not been "babied" and cleaned inside and out for a while, the engine bay could also do with a bit of a clean.
Althought the inside does not look worn at all there is a funny patch towards the top right of the steering wheel. It looks like about 1/4 of the wheel has either been effected by the heat or constantly gripped very hard and looks almost like it has melted very slightly.
was not a big fan of the black mesh pull over cover on the sunroof. It still let quite a bit of light through. It didnt effect me when i gave it a quick test drive but my dad who is 2 inches taller said it caught his eye a little.
It had some strange alloys on it. They were on the car when he bought it new but i have never seen them on any other Clio. They were Renault ones, 15" and ugly but i sopose that just gives me a good excuse to change them
.
Bit of rust on the disc's
dunno if i would have chosen black, but dont dislike it.
so, should i go for it and does it sound like a good deal to you?
