Buying advise-milage?



  Clio 172 Cup
Hi, due to recent events and the demise of my 1.2 clio, its time to look for something else.

im after either a peugeot 206 gti or a ph1 172, only catch is the budget, i have around £2000 to spend, possibly £2500.

there is a clio for sale for £1500

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/547325.htm

the milage is 133,000 miles which is VERY high but for the price is it a smart purchase, obviously with this milage, things are going to go wrong but is a clio reliable at this milage?

what type of work will have had to be done? eg. timing belt etc.

basically im asking people who know (172 owners) if this is a good buy as the price is very low and for this money i will have money to spend on repairs.

advise will be greatly appreciated as i know there will be other clios around for the 2k mark but as i am currently carless, i dont have forever to wait.


thanks


tom
 
Its worth a look forget what other experinaces are at this milage I've known them go well over 200k.

Just check all the normal weaing stuff at that sort of milage most likly either its been taken real care of and the parts are fine or they ahve been replaced as wear and tear anyway.
