Potential new 197 Clio owner

[Evertonmarc]

Afternoon guys,

Whilst looking for a car for the wife (she's after a Mini Cooper S), the same garage we are going to tonight also has a 2006 Clio 197 for sale.

Is there anything i should look out for?

The car has done 80,000 miles but has literally just had its cam belt done, and apparently has a full 7-8 stamped renault dealership service book.

Looks pretty mint, but i know that isn't always the case...!

Example being, my Seat, i was warned that the door seals go on a lot of them (3 years later, mine are going!)

Cheers,
Marc

Thanks guys. Well, looked at the car - looks mint. We've bought the mini cooper for the wife, and i'm thinking of putting a deposit on the Clio.
Its a 2006 197 Clio, has climate control (not sure if that was standard).
Done 80k miles, just had cambelt and has full renault dealership service history (no advisorys on MOT or previous services).
It's from a garage, got him to £5100.
Does that seem a fair price?

Seems a fair price. Be much worse on fuel that your Seat though.
