Mint looking 197 for £3,500 on 158k miles!

[CrippsCorner]

I think this looks absolutely spanking, one of the best colours, interior looks to be in great condition as do the wheels... but could you do it!? It's a lot of miles but full Renault service history. If I was in the market for a 197 I would probably go for it to be honest

Is this the highest mileage we've seen on a 197!?

 

[suckmykiss]

That's a lot of money for something that's probably completely shagged..

 

[Daniel]

Could that be the guy who also owned the high mileage trophy??

There can't be that many people mad enough to do that many miles in a clio!

 

[Daniel]

That's a lot of money for something that's probably completely shagged..

Its wearing proper tyres, the wheels aren't battered, its got decent history...

Why would it be shagged??

If I was to have another 197 it would have to have the meg 225 engine in , they are just so slow and cost so much to get power out of the engine ! Ideal car for a transplant

One for Sir-Dave?

 

[fletch8]

wouldnt bother me owning one as long as receipts were evident.

wouldnt like to try and sell it on though.

would it be worth selling and stripping?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

People get so hung up on miles!

Some of the best cars / vans iv'e owned have done 100k +

I always looks at service history / condition over mileage.

 

[MicKPM]

Looks alright to me... I'd still want an HPi and a proper look first though before handing over any cash.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I'd have that for 3k.

 

[Gally]

That's mental! How do you even rack those miles up! It does 30mpg ffs!

That's a lot of cash for fuel in possibly a company car!

Trophy was more awesome!

 

[Dan@SJM]

My mates old one. Was a company car for him. He's a field engineer for EE. It's had a good life really, well serviced etc and driven fairly safely as his toy was a 500bhp R33.

 

[Fraser.J.]

I just want to buy that

 

[Knuckles]

what a company car :approve:

what a s**t spec

 

[Dan@SJM]

Company car = no options..

 

[Mr Plums]

If your not bothered about miles id say it looks good value.

 

[Knuckles]

Company car = no options..

oh

itll make a good track car/ car for someone who doesnt care about toys

 

[Herr Flick]

Why would you have a Clio for a company car tho? Lol

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Only problem is, at 3.5k you could buy a pretty well set up 1*2 for track/toy purposes.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Or my trophy for 3k

 

[Knuckles]

because nutter?

true, but this could be the base for a brilliant track day project

 

[Sir_Dave]

I posted this up in another thread a month ago. Great buy for £3k imho, company cars are usually pretty well serviced, & it'll just be motorway mileage anyways.
