Tom's wide clio - Last ever update, now for sale!

[Connor3103]

Hey mate,

To be honest I doubt you'll get £2,500 for the car as it is. It's obviously in great condition and it's clear to all that you've spent a ton of time on it, but the fact remains that cars are a very personal thing, and finding someone who likes the same style as you is going to be practically impossible. If it was me, I'd take the new stickers off the wind deflectors and put some normal alloys back on it.

On that basis you'll have a good chance of getting close to the asking price, but people need to see a car with potential. At the end of the day they want to know how it will suit THEM, and they can personalize it to their own tastes. Personally, I think the wheels are horrendous, and although I really like the stickers and the overall style of the car, many wouldn't. Best of luck selling it mate, I think your nuts haha, keep it! ;-)

 

[Englebert]

So you haven't received any offers and you believe the solution is to put more stickers on?

Lovin' the logic.

Sad to say I agree

 

[Struggler]

i stand by my guns if you want to sell the wheels,

even have a set of dynamique alloys, not in amazing condition though!

 

[Tom 46]

hmmm thinking about taking wheels off, cage and all stickers and personal touches, and just leaving it on some standard rims but with coilovers. That way its got potential, but could also very easily be put back to standard?

First however got something very special planned....for tommorow Thursday didnt happen, but it was put back till tommorow. Hehe, cannot wait! Gonna be going out in a blaze of glory lol

 

[Girder]

Just put it to standard

 

[ekaJ]

Bit o' stalking = jealous, cant wait

 

[Struggler]

ive got money's waiting for the cage and wheels,
just give the a shout

cliosport might appreciate this car,
but it's appeal is limited only to those with taste,
and endurance to live with such a car,
and such people, would probs be looking at VW's rather than renaults unfort.

 

[Girder]

but it's appeal is limited only to those with taste

Oh yeah?

 

[Struggler]

Oh yeah?

you're completely entitled to your wrong opinion

 

[chriscummins7]

Just listen to the wise people of CS! Take off the stickers, wheels, cage, exhaust, coilovers. Sell seperately and you are looking at a killing!!!! Serious man the wheels and coilies alone must be pushing £800

You know it makes sense, dont think anybody in their right minds would buy it as it is... most people that have cars that look like yours do so because they do it all themselves and want to be proud of their work... as you are! (correctly ) Think it looks awesome but needs de-euro'ing to make it sell.

 

[Iain C]

I love this car.
I did speek to you at fcs. My fav car on the cs stand tbh

 

[Tom 46]

If im thinking right you and reebone are the complete opposite of subtle... and if it is that.... congrats

Bit o' stalking = jealous, cant wait

Whatever could you mean???

Been out in brum today, met up with couple of lads and had a great time. Shame about the weather, but i dont think it will affect the outcome to much
