Original Price £10,295
Franchised Dealer £4,145

2.2k as it is.

This thread is useless without pics...

But I'd say maybe closer to 2k

 

[Harry_manback]

is that an offer?


seriously though its lowered 172 wheels.
stainless steel/ carbon fibre Ik. might be worth taking off as i kept all the original stuff for it!

Turn it back to standard, then 1.5k for the car sounds good to me.

Not many people want a car on 100k especially a french one

 

[Dafthead]

I wouldn't touch a clio with that many miles on it, so I wouldn't expect much more than 2k for it

take it back to standard, the mods will never get the full value on the car.

then stick on ebay, no reserve to get interest and let it go.

id say £1500-1800 standard

If you do go back to standard i'd be interested in the IK if its in good condition, can't seem to get hold of one atm. They used to be on ebay for £90 now the only place I can find wants 150 notes.

100k is nothing, i ragged f**k out my 1.2 and it lastd till 130k untill stuff started going wrong, even at that was only needing water pump (which means cambelt) and a rocker cover gasket.

only other things to go were...
a driveshaft which took the gearbox with it (my fault for not replacing the drive shaft when it first went)
clutch (understandable with millage)
battery (factory one lasted 4 years, and ive got upgraded ICE)
Coil pack (common fault, they all go)

coil pack was at 50k, clutch at 115k the rest all went after 125k

id hold off for £2,500 ish mate

Its almost pointless looking at Parkers, you need to look at teh market in its current state.

After haveing a quick look on Autotrader, as standard with that many miles you should be able to get a quick sale at just over £2,000

 

[Timmay]

bout 2k IMO

 

[Martin_172]

if you sell it for 1.5k ill take it lol
