One to avoid possibly.

Hi All
I was in the hunt for a second 172 Cup (initially for parts but eventually to build a mod prod hillclimb car).
I came across this on Gumtree - https://www.gumtree.com/p/renault/renault-clio-172-cup/1179807286 . The car was relatively local and seemed ideal for my needs . I was going to pick it up last weekend but the seller's communications were a bit 'weak' - wouldn't give me an address or phone number - so I paid for a full car check. Needless to say that the car's history is a little bit concerning.
So. if you're looking for a cheap 172 Cup this may not be the car for you.

Looks a right s**t tip

1) What did the history check throw back?

2) He says can you ring and not text so how was he able to avoid giving you the address etc while you were on the phone to him?

The grammar alone would have been enough to put me off.

"Pro stealth full exshurst system"
"needs a wing for shore"
"just a big surclip"

It looks an absolute POS.

Gumtree, poorly written, can't use a spellcheck. Scrap

One careful owner, full renault service history and belts done. Low mileage clean example!

Car was recorded as Cat C and also outstanding finance (although I know these aren't always accurate).

Never buy a car from Barry.

728,000 miles? Impressive.

Has probably been driven hard around Barry island and the damage caused by bumping into a sandcastle
