v6 question??



  Disco 5 ,Monaro VXR
should a mark 1 v6 51 plate come with remote central locking as the one a test drove didnt??

and for 10k would you buy one of somebody who had lost the service book?

i have got proof the cambelt has been done and also every mot??
 
  Clio v6
Yes

Yes as its well out of warranty, No if you are the type who wants everything in order. FSH does help selling on.

Good to know the cambelt and hopefully water pump has been done.

That car won't have a tracker on it, as it a non uk car (yes I know they are all imported anyway)

I'd want the service book, plus all bills etc if it were me (as mine does)

How many miles it on & how many owners etc ??

55k miles

3 owners ( ill be the fourth)

i dont know what to do as it is only 10k and if i get the history for the period i will own it ( i plan to keep this for a long time and).

it is faultless though no stone chips on bumper no marks on the paintwork etc.


i may get a r.a.c check done and see from there ( the one wher they turn up and inspect the car etc)

its the owner of a garage less than a year i think.

the car for the money im paying is ok to be honest at £9800 cash knowing the cambelt has been done and the fact he gave me the car for a whole day to test drive has swayed me to be honest.
 
  Blown up 182 & Mondeo TDI
Get it well checked, no book and more importantly no remote locking would ring alarm bells with me.
 
  Disco 5 ,Monaro VXR
done a hpi and car has no previous crashes or history other than finance outstanding on it (which i know about).

i need to get car from dealer wont pay more than 11k and dont want a cat d.

so options are limited really. and i have got him to give me three months warranty also.

so ive pretty much covered most angles i think

anybody got any other checks they can reccommend???
 
  An orange one
yep..should all have RCL as clarkie says

does it have a RCL keyfob? could be dodgy switch inside that..mine broke once on my mk1 vee key
 
  Disco 5 ,Monaro VXR
ah well i can get a clifford alarm to sort the locking out i suppose.

looked around loads of garages to find my next car and this just looked spot on.

just need to work out if it is worth the risk i suppose.

thinking about it the car could be a stolen recovered car hense no book different keys etc.
but how would this show on the hpi report.

i only had a key on a dodgy kering so it could have another key which works the r/c/l i just forgot to ask.

the reg is bl51 clo is it anybody on here's old car maybe or does anybody from bristol area know anything about it???
 
  Disco 5 ,Monaro VXR
stolen would show up if they have claimed on the insurance..


life is a gamble....go for it!!



aye you only live once and if it does go bang the engine is exactly the same as the Laguna v6 right??

and guess who's best mates dad has got one in his garage with less miles than mine with full history.
 
Have a look at the register on here www.v6clio.net

As said it should have rcl - my key is normal, the alarm bit is separate (it just looks like a key without the blade)

If you can get the paperwork for the cambelt etc then it's not too bad.
 
  172 Cup (Iceberg)
Just out of interest......... If there is no central locking then does the boot remain open constantly? Or is there a key hole? I can't remember......
 
  172 Cup (Iceberg)
I was just wondering as it happened to me with my 206. My central locking kept playing up and i had to leave the boot open all the time. Might be different though on the Clio........ worth checking though!

i went to look at this one before I got mine, I wasn't sure about it. The owner of the garage kept giving me vague details when I asked him any questions. This was end of March and I'm sure he said he was waiting for the service book from the previous owner so I think he has probably only had it 4-5 months.

yeah same excuses given now. plus ive got my mate to check it and its dodgy as so im not buying it

im going to a company called adaptive vechile solutions based in cardiff and they are going to sort everything out for me.

get the best price for the bmw
find a v6 for me with full service history etc
plus sort all the finance for me.

they are one of the best companies i have ever dealt with very very prof.

and they have a garage full of ferrari's porches and lambos to drool over in the meantime even let me sit in a gallardo and 360.
 
Good luck with your search Brooky, it's a mission to find a mint example though (I found it really hard to get one)
It took me two months to find mine, well worth it though as it's blue & a minter :approve:
