The Girlfriends First Clio...

[craigneal]

the missus has her driving test today and fingers crossed she passes, we have put a deposit down on a little 1.2 for her.

She fell in love with it straight away after the 160 mile round journey, which was worth it in the end. Up to Aldridge, Walsall.

Its a metallic red, 1.2 dynamique (a/c), 34k, 1 lady owner and i will agree it is mint inside and out. it was up for 2900 but that's not an issue atm. (being a salesman will help here .)

Just wondering what people will say to look out for with it? I myself have only had mine for about 2 months now. So just a bit of guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Damage wise, check under door seals and rear boot carpet mate.

Where the struts are on the tailgate look at the sealer on the quarter panel each side should be factory, exactly the same. If one is different then it's had a quarter panel, avoid like the plague.

Clios don't like getting quarters fitted, the paint will start to bubble around the bottom arch.

Other things like belts ect... 5 years and 72k miles iirc. Best checking that though. The rest you should really know about.

Welcome!
