the first car on here, naples valver.

doesn't say in the ad about service history or anything,but from the pics it looks pretty clean right?
might go and have a look tomorrow to see what i think?

only works out to just over 8k a year, any thoughts people?

Seems over priced £1k at most.
8k a year IMo ins't good for an engine but then again if it does go wrong new engine s arn't that much plus 2.0 power is the usual route.

Cliosport owner so might be worth doing a check.

I cannot tell for sure but I'd bet those rear arches are rusting

 

[Pep]

how you mean 8k a year isnt good, too little?

what are the main things to look out for?
ive signed up for williamsclio for some better answers but havent had my confirmation email through yet.

Just have a read up on loads of stuff on Williams clios there very good.

8k is low milage its basically the shops runs howevers most likly most of the milage was in say the first 5 years then it becamse a second car only used now and again as regularly happens its not a huge issus so long as its runs have been decinet lenght ones then again the whole cars 10 years old so most stuff would have been chnaged anyway so maybe its driving its done ins't so much of an issue.

Best thing about them is if there fully serviced the've been done very regularly.

And breathe...

Have a look at it fella, see what you think. Nothing wrong with 8k a year, good low mileage for a car. Probably showing some rust, but see how bad it is, sure theres a few on here that would help you sort it.

Not going 106 route anymore mate?

 

[Neil G]

Looks okay to me

 

[Paddy_g46]

its got a cliosport sticker in window so try and find out whos car it is

 

[new_world_disorder]

look out for resprays nd stuff, ripples in the paintwork, check the plate under the bonnet.

 

[Pep]

thanks for all the info lads, appreciate it.

peperami, not sure what route im going to be honest, just thought i'd have a look on the trader for some to see if theres anywhere i could part chop my car with and theres that place, not too far from me so...

i'll let you all know later on!

 

[JayR]

Nice that....Id go for it if it was mechanically as sound as it looks mate.

 

[Pep]

£1600 insurance on renewal though, 18 with 2NCB, and thats only TPFT...

 

[Pep]

£1230 TPFT, that any good?!

 

[cat171]

The car doesn't look bad to me at all, give it a call & see about the service history etc, if it's not got any I wouldn't bother.

 

[Pep]

yeah won't touch it without full history.

is it stupid going from an 04 to a 95? i know ill have some extra cash in my pocket because of it but even so...?

 

[Paddy_g46]

£1230 TPFT, that any good?!

yes definately, im paying the same and im 19 with 1 ncd

 

[Pep]

am i stupid going from 04 to 95 though?

 

[cat171]

Depends on how well it's been looked after tbh, you get good ones & bad ones. The proof apart from seeing the actual car will be the stack of bills & other stuff they should have with it.

If they've only got a service book with a couple of stamps in & nothing else, i'd leave it.

Try Bell, got a quote at around that at 20 with 0ncb and 2 fault claims in the last 2 years TPFT.

 

[Pep]

yeah ive tried bell mate, dont think they like my name,w as over £3k!

thanks for the help, im quite impressed with the £1200 though.

Try Elephant/Admiral with your olds on the policy. When i was 19 mine was about £1300 but with no no claims to my name (was on dads policy for a while).

Even so i dont think thats a bad deal considering your age and the fact its a performance car.

My pal was paying £800ish on mk2 1.6 rsi at 18 with Norwich union and thats not in the same performmance/insurance league of a valver.

yeah won't touch it without full history.

Different type of car mate.

I would go back to a valver/williams if i needed to but only for the right one. Over the twoi and abit years i had mine my 1.8 engine was reliable and my 2.0 willy lump was too.......Very little went wrong but if you get a shitter you'll be dipping deep all the time!!!
