Is the above item, way over priced?

BY all means it looks in fantastic condition!

It something am looking to buy

 

[rio172]

No not in my opinion

 

[DanS]

I'd say thats a good price, it's looks like an absolute minter and if the milage is true which there is no doubt it is looking at the rest of the car i'd say its not overpriced!

 

[Rasclart]

VERY tidy! Its worth what someone will pay. Personally for me the PH1 interior and exterior is looking really dated!

Just because it has low miles does not mean Mechanically it will be sound either!

 

[Greeny.]

woah! amazing miles! Probably never gone over 5k though!

 

[rory182]

Its at the top of the price band for a phase 1 TBH but if the mileage is genuine and belts are done it's not a bad car for the money.

 

[sideways danny]

I'd buy that if i had the cash. There's some tat about for not much less. There's also one on ebay with 46k and they want £4k !!!!!!!!

 

[fossie]

Spoke to the guy earlier today, it has NOT had the belts done, but the private is worth 500 and he has a signed cofirmation slip to say its worth that and i dealer who give him cash, so the plate would pay for the belts

[sideways danny]

Probably worth £3.5k as it stands then

 

[VeinAST]

Tidiest PH1 ever.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Personally id pay 4200 for it

 

[Greeny.]

What sort of r****d doesnt change the belts after owning the car for 8 years, f**ks me off!!

Yeah its mint, would be a c**t if the belt broke as you where driving it home. Plus belts are meant to wear more on shorter journeys and thats hardly been on many holidays, probably up and back to the shops every day!

 

[ForceIndia]

Seem's a bit strange to me. New rear pads after 26k miles? The ad doesn't read as though it's been written by an over 55. They really aren't difficult to clock.

Tbh mate there are probably more cars out there that are/were due the belts than cars that have had them, as the advert states its been two older chaps that have been using it as a run about etc im not that suprised they havent been done...

In any event, if the car is in as good cond as the pictures relay then that cars worth 4200 all day everyday imo.

Also, its just your donald duck when it comes to the belts, that car could (in theory) run to 100k without them or like you say, snap on the way home, there is no reason why they would or would not.....!

 

[Greeny.]

So they are 55 and just use it as a 168bhp run around so they dont need to have the car serviced? Sound like muppets.

Even if they are "retards" as you put it, its still worth 4200

 

[Greeny.]

LOL

I just wouldnt trust someone who after owning a car for 9 years doesnt think to service it.

Edit: Also there is a child seat in the back! WOOHOO

 

[cat171]

I'd be getting a mint fsh ph2 for the asking price tbh.

I'd also guess that the cars no where near as good as it seems to be. I am always sceptical of low mileage cars.

 

[saltyhair81]

lol the mileage..that is under priced tbh .. jeez all you have to do is look on pistonheads

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I suppose it really depends what your after but because im an avid fan of them its nice to see that some low milers are still out there for not bad money.

I do hope that one makes it into the club

 

[Greeny.]

If the belts dont snap on the way home

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

lol, is your glass always half empty or do you just spill it because you drive too fast?

 

[cat171]

Limca (Jay) had a decent low miler ph1, it was on about 33k or something. His was looked after though. I also don't think he paid any where near 4k for it.

If a dude only uses it to go to the shops etc you can prob imagine what it's like. The fact that it's sooo over due belts etc would put me off straight away.

 

[renaultsport1981]

plus how many elderly people using a clio as a run around decide to put an aftermarket headunit in?, ask if it has standard headunit included as it should have 6-disc multichanger under the drivers seat.

Yeah i was curious bout that one as mine has original with 6 cd changer underneath.
The more u ask the better imo especially since the belts aint been done and considering its got service history im abit baffled to why they wernt done

 

[GM_182]

A pearl in the desert of abused MK1's

 

[duncansharp]

They got the numberplate wrong in the ad though!

This car was on Pistonheads IIRC it was advertised at 4.5k-

Depending on whats actually stamped in the book & assuming the car is MINT I would pay as a private buyer around 3.2 for that tops- Of course then it would be Belts to add on-

What I have found with some owners who are selling is if they arent aware of what the cambelt & aux belt change is then they dont get why you drop on offer price by say 400 quid- For some it doesnt compute!!

Mileage isnt everything especially without belts- Personally if I was looking for a PH1 I would find one in the low 50's k with belts & pick it up for low/mid 2's... THe 20k difference in miles isnt worth it IMHO....

[CHUFFER]

well over priced in my opinion.
I wouldnt give more than 3 grand for this car no matter how clean it is and thats fully serviced and the belts done as well.
I'm not a tight tw*t just in touch with reality.

It says V333 MAS on the car, but V333 MAZ in the write up.

Maybe it was written wrong who knows!! I wouldnt touch it anyway lol

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I dont get some of the comments in here....

Right so it has about the lowest miles of any Phase 1 ive ever seen and looks to be in good nick, so if its not worth £4000, what is it worth...?

These suggestions that its only worth 3k are absurd tbh!

 

[cat171]

It is worth what someone is willing to pay for it bud.

The end.



(I don't mean the end literally as i'm not locking the thread lol)

I agree its worth the price but still wouldnt buy due to the service history
It wont be the first not to have belts done tho as i know of one phase 1 that ended up in a renault dealership with 77000 on it and never been done sooo.........

And this lol, i think a mint low miles ph1 is worth 4k, but then again its all what the buyer will pay, its bound to need a few things doing to it, i mean its hardly been used

I agree but you have to draw the line somewhere...? (as much as we all know how fellow CS'ers love somthing for nothing....) lol

If a car hasn't had belts done i'd be worried. Says a lot about the previous owners realy.

Super tidy car though, but it is almost 182 money.
