possible new purchase help needed

hi
ive just been to view a clio 172 and was interested in getting peoples opinions on whether or not it is worth the money. its an 02 reg in silver with 69,000 miles on the clock for £5699 i thought maybe that this was a few too many miles but it has a full dealer service history and i mean FULL like every nut and bolt and has had only 1 lady owner. it also comes recently serviced with 3 months AA warranty. it has one small stone chip on the bonnet and a couple on the front bumper but apart from that its immaculate.
what do you reckon? is it worth it or am i likely to come across a lower milage version for around the same price???
cheers
jen

I would always choose an average Mileage Car over a low miler. Seems Good if you can get a years warranty Thrown in and some bits and bobs, and a couple of free services.

was also wondering ive just put it into the insurance search engine and it comes up as a rsi 1.6 not a 172 ive heard before that this could mean its imported it this right? does it matter to price etc?

could mean its a 1.6 with 172 wings and side skirts bolted on

but i dnt know about the import bits and bobs sry

would i be able to tell this from the engine ie can you get the same rocker cover on other clios or is there a way i can definately tell?? if its a 172 on the log book is that def. right or can log books be wrong??

Do a search for pictures on here you won't mistake the two engines if you've seena few pics take the intake manifold off (if its on) and if it says Renault sport all the way accross the top of the maniofld its a 172/182/.
