Thoughts on this car

[Inequality Street]

The reason I ask is it's about a 2 hour drive away.

Do you think it's worth the trip?
(Somethings wrong with my Fiesta so I'm looking to change, and I've always wanted a RenaultSport Clio)

Only downer is that it's silver, but I could live with that. Would need to check who the cambelt was done by etc but apart from that, looks good.

Opinions?

It hasn't got the cup packs.. I wouldn't bother

 

[Beef-Mc]

There's better out there.

Cup packs or not, £3k for a 182 on 57k is cheap! Looks good IMO.

1 owner! Cambelt done 10k ago, it's got a lot going for it. Cup packs aren't be all and end all. If your not bothered about the rear spoiler and may in future change springs / coilovers then a non-cup car is the better option.

Find who did the belts, what the rest of the history is like and general condition of the car over the phone. If it's the right answer get down there - low owner cars are often looked after with pride.

Looks not too shabby.

yeh looks good, low mileage , cambelt done and silver cars always age better because you dont notice minor hair line scratches.

You want a nice one owner Inferno for £2999....

Steering wheel is fucked,
All the alloys are curbed,
Oil cover is missing
Wheel arch on driver side is scratched,
exhaust hangers are buggered to.

I agree with this, keep looking mate, i was going to buy one which had no cup packs and had marks on it, i was advised on here not to buy so i didnt, eventually one came up for the right price, right colour, immaculate condition with low milege and both cup packs etc etc.

Dont rush into it mate, i was going to but im so glad i didnt now. Plus i couldnt buy a car myself if i wasnt too sure on the colour, its one of the main points for me tbh lol.

If your budget will stretch you could have mine for £3999

 

[peanuthead]

as advised above dont rush into it. I did that with my first 172 and regret it big time. Maybe give them a call and ask the questions but honestly I think there is better out there for that price.

That's just not a well cared for motor. I don't care about minor imperfections but you can just see that the owner of that car really did not care. At all.

Broken gear gaitor, fudged steering wheel, kerbed wheels, all things that are caused by carelessness.
