[FlameR]

i can see why he says its a beast

 

[lem17]

i can't either but it looks a clean car

 

[Christopher]

the guy sounds like a bit of a weapon tbh :S

who advertises cars like that?

a few bits and it's tidy enough though!

 

[Bluebeard]

There are a lot better examples out there!

 

[FlameR]

aye will be nicer than an old clio anywho, aslong as you aren't after performance gains

 

[Aluco]

Look at the third pic. L plate, Dont know about you but i wouldnt want a car that has been used to learn in especially if that person put lexus lights in it

Probs been thrashed and has no clutch left.

[HartZ]

I certainly wouldnt advertise my car as a BEAST!

 

[R20 CWH]

not a bad price, you could de-chav it and have a decent wee bus.

 

[lemonnobby]

Be very careful has L plates in it, dont think i want a car after some idiot that calls his car 'beast' has been learning someone in it.

 

[lem17]

cheers for the advice about the L plates and the cluch. i am really wanting a new clio but i don't know wat to get. am only 18 so nothing with a big an engine for insurance. ve got about £3000 to spend. anybody got an ideas of wat to get

[Aluco]

well m8 im 18 and i have the 1.4 16v costs me £1300 full comp on insurance thats with 1Years NCB so you have room to set your sights higher although my clio cost me £5600 so not sure how cheap you will get a 1.4

[Bluebeard]

just get a decent version of the one above!

Its dirty, the interior is a mess and its been chavved. IMO, i'd steer well clear. hold on a minute.....

Very tidy car, shame about the engine tho

[FiDoDiDo]

[GarethM]

as said you can find better examples around

dont buy the 1st car you see

 

[Alan]

Brapp brapp...

Safe...bludd..

 

[Marky_]

Hasn't that rep above sold now? :S

If it's the one i'm thinking of it's been on here and been sold many times.

 

[Ian_182]

As said,de-chav it and it would be ok

 

[Budgie]

Hasn't that rep above sold now? :S

If it's the one i'm thinking of it's been on here and been sold many times.

Middos old car iirc. Then medici999. Think he is the fella trying to sell it now.

 

[mw51/bl172]

the replica is in hemel hempstead now see it the other night

 

[Michael172]

There are a lot better examples out there!

yeah. id want standard alloys for starters. keep the ik, ditch the leccy lights.


why not, 59k and itll of been well run in. i bet itll go pretty well.

 

[bmh.01]

That'll have been thrashed to within an inch of its life, its not like there hard to come by keep looking. That standard minter dan posted looks good.

 

[AlexS]

I wouldn't touch that, just get a standard dynam, I expect that one has been ragged to death.

 

[Sash]

not being funny or anything but try your local paper or friday-ad, thats where i found my beauty, learn to read adverts too.

good luck.

 

[AlexS]

As above, for a car like a 1.2 Clio pistonheads is a waste of time, autotrader is full of overpriced tat from dealers, I got my 1.2 16v from an old lady 5miles away advertised in my local paper.

 

[Sash]

Ok i had to travel to the coast (about 40odd miles) but it was worth it, mint condition one retired chap from new, full dealer history, 27k, garaged all its life. its sometimes the simplist put ads that are the genuine gems!
