Looks good to me, make sure there's a receipt for the cambelt work. Just go and see if its in good nick etc... I would be going too look at that tomorrow! But i need to by from a dealer, as i cant seem to get rid of the C2

Looks fine to me but check the usual, VIN with V5, condition and age of tyres, brakes, fluids,
last service/oil change and as above proof of cambelt service.

Usually you can get a sense if it's genuine from the owner as long as your a good judge of character,
and then the test drive, make sure the engine's cold on start up aswell.

If you really like it get your own HPI check done, i've been to look at cars and some of the HPIs
i've been shown looked like they've done them on the computer.

Cheers chaps anyone else know anything of the car?

 

[DaveDreads]

The Motor insurance database says it's insured,
to find out if it's ever been stolen/recovered or has outstanding finance
you'll have to pay for a HPI check, you can get them online for a couple of quid.

Not every RS clio is one here so alot of the 1*2s out there are unknown to the forum.

Hope it turns out to be a genuine car for you mate.

Thanks mate great help,

I will view it tomoro then if im interested ill get a hpi check done straight away.

Looks good.

Like said above check all paperwork especially the cambelt.

Ask if the timing belt was done at the same time if not that will be coming up.
