Clio 172 Cup?

[fad632]

Hi Guys just wanted some advice really, i've been thinking of buying a 172 cup from my brothers friend, its 52 plate with 18000 miles on the clock. He said i can have it for £6500, what do you think?

Currently i'm driving a 1.5d Saxo, so this will be a big step up for me and my insurance!! any advive will be great thanks in advance

Good deal... Id go for that. Good car, good price.

 

[Englebert]

That's a good price. Insurance depends on age really.

thanks guys, do you think i will find it difficult to drive, i won't miss things like AC, ABS etc cos my saxo doesn't have any of that? my insurance is gonna be £900 with directline, which i think is quite good as i'm only 21 in 3 weeks!

 

[tommyboy]

[philmots]

good deal... if u dont want it put it my way. directline is cheap. buyy it!

s**t that's cheap and it's not even run in yet. 18000 miles, geez

You might think you wont miss abs, but with 172 brake you will probably need it more than you ever would on your saxo...

Seriously get it. Good price for the car and thats acracking deal on insurance.

3PFT?

£900 insurance seems like a great deal. Is it renault service, how much warranty has it got left, will it need new pads soon, car park dings?

 

[Rob669]

I'd recommend some track days before the winter as well. No ABS, get some high speed practice. Sounds like a good deal, I'd go for it.

Cheers, Rob

3PFT??? not sure what that means? (I'm new to this), I know its just had and passed its first MOT and Service since being bought from new. Not to sure about the warranty cos only got info through my brother! going to see it this weekend so hopefully should be mine asap!

no then its fully comp, sorry should re-phrase in 3 weeks when 21 my insurance will cost just over £900 with direct line, that includes discount cos my dad already has a insurance policy with them for his car, not to mention the house insurance as well

 

[fad632]

Ok guys, actually spoke to my brothers mate today about his car, he has told me that he will take me out in it soon, but also said that he hasn't drove it in close to a yr! The car passed its MOT in April and was Serviced also, and has new tyres and brake pads. He described driving it as similar to a go-kart? He bought from new so is the only owner.
Do you guys think this will be ok at £6500?

[Smokey McPot]

if you pass it up, theres a strong chance you'll spend the next year looking into a mirror hating yourself.

 

[WayneG]
