New car 172. 52 plate. £700 bargin or not?

[Skin1212]

Skin1212 in Plymouth, just bought this one in black, does need two tyres, top end rattles- will need to sort that, DIY / garage and the cost it will incur. The radio flattens the battery but apart from that it seems solid. Any pointers welcome. Cheers

Belts done? That's ~£500 job (add £150 for dephaser).

You haven't mentioned mileage or anything

 

[chaz1234]

Sounds Like A bargain to me What is the Mileage? I have never seen any 172 for under 1k.

Hello and welcome from the ClioSport Admin Team

Top end rattle could be a £600+ job. Suddenly your £700 bargain is a £1500 car. Hopefully it's an easy fix though.

 

[Skin1212]

85k on the clock. Hopefully I can sort the rattle for a bit less than that not much else to do - good English weather
Any body recommend a site for cam kit etc

Is this the one that was on eBay, seller was in Plymouth too?

 

[Skin1212]

No was not on ebay, it was my lads who needed to fund his Aussie dream. He had it for 7m, ragged it no doubt.
Are the locking tools to hold the cams whilst belts of? I had to make something similar when I did my omega?
