Looks tidy enough, but it doesnt mention the belts as far as i can see so make sure he asks about them.

1500-1600 I'd say. Wouldn't pay anymore, given the mileage

there are no extras on the cup, it's the least specced of them all.

Cloth seats, no a/c, no abs etc

I've been looking for a while and they all seem to go around this price...

What about all the bits on the eBay advert? Would they make a difference?

The bits on the car add nothing to the value, I'd want to remove the crap air filter for a standard air box, if your not going to go on track the tyres and brakes are going to be an overkill (don't work well from cold) the nice things it has got as for a 'normal' car is the carbon splitter and springs added.

​Whats your intentions with the car?

The federals are worth £250 - £300 depending where you get them from. You could easily sell them on here for £250 if there new. I wouldn't really factor the other things in, there small mods. I know you say the belts have been done, but make sure you check from where, as if done incorrectly they loose power. Also the MOT has recently been done, check the advisories for any required work? It looks a tidy example but I'd still go see it before agreeing on a price

Nout wrong with RSR's on a road car imo. Brilliant for that sprited Sunday drive, after all you don't buy a cup for the luxuries ;)

  Mint 1*2's for sale-
The only thing that worries me is the recon gearbox - is it any good how long will it last-

looks an ok car, mileage is quite high considering theres a few kicking about on 60k for 2k ish...

Also who did the timing belt- was the aux belt changed> what clutch was used? Valeo~? any invoices?

It doesn't matter whether its 10k or 2k

It still needs to be checked over for problems & issues- especially around replacement parts like gearbox & clutch etc-
How many threads appear on here where people have bough used or replacement gearboxes / engines that turned out to be Shi**ers

1850 could soon turn into 3k before your know it. just because its cheap - cheap doesn't = good.

just advising caution...-

One of the most experienced buyers of cars on CS you are daft if you don't heed his words IMO

Its hardly a dog. It needs a bonnet. Colour is lovely imo.

It needs a bonnet, yes. Buy a new bonnet and try matching the colour again. Not going to happen. You'll have a different shade bonnet. No thanks

£1500ish imo.

Would be happy to pay £2k if it was in perfect mechanical condition but you never know for sure.

Receipts for all the work done...

Hopefully it's nice to drive,

I didn't spot the bonnet... Good job I posted it up...

the bonnet on yours looks fine, we were talking about the one in the link posted about the funny blue rue sprayed Clio. So ignore those comments.

It sounds like you've already bought the car? It is a nice one, if your happy paying that then that's all that matters

I've not actually bought it yet...

He is going to view it and if he thinks its mechanically sound he is leaving a deposit...

Get some of the blue Mitsubishi Evo Recaros bought. Really suit the Mondial paint imo...
