To Buy or Not To Buy?!?!?

[A18NHH]

i think i already know the answer but i've seen a Clio 172, Black, 63000 miles, CAT D, 9 months MOT, 3 months tax, NO SERVICE HISTORY, doesn't know if Cambelt has been done.......£2995

Walk away right?

Or Run!!!

 

[Craig]

you could probably find one that isnt cat d for that price

 

[Mells]

run imo.

Cat D should have some history! i.e. the repair bills at least!

im struggling to find a 172 in my price range that i want...

3200 but want a phase2with cam belt done - dont think it exists

Id run like the wind...

 

[Josh@Renparts]

wouldn't worry too much about the service history they tend to go missing when the insurance company deals with the car.

I'd not touch that cat D one at all !

Even with the state the market is in at the min, your budget is pushing it imo, unless you don't mind high mileage or a non mint car.
You may get lucky though & find someone desperate for the cash.
