My Old 197 is on eBay...

[massiveCoRbyn]

It's had a new engine apparently, but has a few niggly issues that seem to have appeared since I had it. Shame about the front splitter too.

Immaculate!

immaculate
adjective

In perfect condition

 

[Chocice]

I can’t see that getting £4k it has too many niggles

 

[Jonnio]

Think they need to decide how long they've had it for before I read any further flol.

 

[Clio_fool]

Plus the 4 pages of issues he listed! At least he didn't end the advert at "immaculate".

 

[RustyMojo]

Can’t you buy a straight 197 for well under £4k now??

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

It's up for more than I paid for it in 2019 I think. Can't remember exactly what I gave for it. It's a shame about the problems. The body work was really good for its age when I had it, and I replaced 90% of the suspension.

He's the third owner since I sold it though. The guy who bought it from me claimed he was buying it for a weekend/track car, but punted it on immediately (I was told afterwards that he was a trader, so was lying to me for some reason), then I saw it advertised again a couple of months later, which I guess is when this guy bought it.

 

[Chocice]

Yes under 4k easily as prices have really fallen, although Clio 200’s have quadrupled in price I hear ;-)

 

[Clio_fool]

Really? There's some scarily cheap 200's knocking about still.

 

[SharpyClio]

Gear knob is worn… no mate, it’s non existent. 🤷‍♂️

 

[CrippsCorner]

Exhaust - It has an exhaust

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

It had a stainless on it when I bought it. Never could work out what it was.

 

[Chocice]

He is also selling a 200 which at £2000 looks like a good deal (ideal for a project thread)

A 200 for 2k ? Does it have an engine in it ?

Jokes aside, is that somewhere else ? It's not on his ebay page.

Here have a Clio 200 that I've owned for the last 2 years. I bought it with a broken gearbox, which I replaced and then completed a full service using Renault parts and replaced the cambelt, dephaser pulley, water pump and aux belt.

I know it needed a few bits but it was a bargain for someone, lovely little project track car.

 

[RSRowe]

It’s certainly had an odd ownership since it left you.
A lad in Wales had it, and was selling with a tapping engine. He had recently joined the pages, wanted a deposit via BT straight up, but had also posted about ‘his other Clio’ not long before too with exactly the same story of engine woes. Very odd.

 

[Chocice]

The engines on these are usually solid maybe he was experimenting with tuning and made some mistakes

Yep, cheap as chips track car.

 

[jenic]

The 200 is being broken on facebook now, seems such a shame.

 

[Chocice]

I saw a used Clio 200 bumper for sale for £700 on eBay so I guess it’s worth more in bits i agree what a shame
