Renault Sport Clio 172 (sort after mods) (2002)



Here's my beloved clio that had ££££'s spent on it by me. When i got it, It was standard and it has come a long was since then. Never had a penny spared, The only reason its up for sale is because I need a 5 door as i have a baby on the way. So here goes the list of mods:

182 wheels
K-tec solid engine mounts
Powerflex dog bone mount
Matched and polished inlet
Bored out and polished throttle body
K&N indution kit
Smaller number plates to fit front Bumper and no writing
Tinted windows( will remove if not liked)
Scorpian cat-back (modified to for because scorpian can't do it properly!)
K-tec de-cat
Front grill, Scuttle pannel and rear bumper insert sprayed satin black as they go blue after time.
Ice blue side lights to match xenon's
Ice blue interior lights
All new brakes brembo high carbon front discs, EBC rear discs, Ferodo ds2500 racing pads all round, Goodridge braided brake lines (front and back) Ferodo racing brake 5.1 fluid. You will be amazed by them as I was, Was put on march this year.

25mm wheel spacers

By saying "sort after mods" do you mean you are going to sort something out after the mods or do you mean "sought after"?

what im trying to put a cross is the fact its not got a big body kits and fake dump valve, if you no what i mean.

Just dont mention the mods, they'll just make most people read it and think:-

"Well, that's been thrashed within an inch of its life, I hink this one here that hasn't been messed with is a better bet"

They don't add any value either, so you'll need to advertise in "chav monthly" or similar to get £3k.

Take off all the crap about mods. People don't care about a smaller plate etc.

Take off all the mods that you've got standard parts for.

List your services.

1,000 @ BillyBobs - Oil/filter
50,000 @ BillyBobs - Oil/filter
etc etc

Good pictures. Not jaunty angles photoshopped half to death. Front. Front right. Front left. Side. Other side. Rear left. Rear right. Back. Interior.

Has it had new brakes/tyres/clutch/gearbox?

  Whichever has fuel
Saught after, not sort after.

Also I agree with what others have said. Put it back to standard, sell mods, earn more money and sell quicker. Its a no-brainer.

i'd return it to stock and not mention the mods, sell em separately somewhere else

mention that the car was your baby, then show all the (non modification) work you've had done to it

Agreed too many mods, put it back to as near as standard as possible, the mods are just seriously narrowing your audience.

never list mods unless its something special, always sell the car as close to standard as possible, always spell check your adverts, (i would never buy a car off someone who is too stupid to spell or uses text talk in an advert) always list mileage and service history in detail and where the work was carried out and always look at PH or AT to see what similar cars are going for price wise. IMO you will never get £3000 for a 172. id say £2200 maximum really, especially for a messed with car.

Thanks for the input i will probably put it back to standard.

As for the haters "WOT PART IZNT PROPA ENGLISH INIT BLUD" because i missed it?

Thanks

That whole first paragraph makes for hard reading! I would have moved on after the first few sentences tbh

needs to be a lot more fluid its just a mishmash of sentences and doesn't help sell the car

get straight to the point, list the positives and dont mention all the mods if you can help it, 90% of people just dont care about them and are wary in most cases of modified cars

Leave the long sentences/paragraphs out. When I'm looking I want information in a list, all points that are easy to scan/read. I don't want to read about how you bought the car and how much you've spent on it.

Also, if we're being picky (which I am), I'd start each line with Caps.

And, do you just have one 182 wheel? :rasp:

PS. I know everyone else has told you to drop the price, and while I think £3k is probably a bit enthusiastic, make sure you've got room to drop a couple of hundred off the price without getting upset, buyer will feel they've got a deal, and you feel like you haven't lost out.

PPS. I think I'd forget to mention the tinted windows too...
