st3ve Posted 26, November 2012 Report Share Posted 26, November 2012 I've recently moved over to Western Australia from the UK and ideally I would like to get another Clio. I've discovered that used cars over here are very expensive especially Renaults. I've looked on ebay and carsales.com but it's only bringing up very few results and those that it does are a plane journey away over east. Is there any other places I could look to find a Clio (either a 172 or a 182) in Western Australia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 26, November 2012 Report Share Posted 26, November 2012 Welcome mate! Used cars are expensive here compared to the UK but 172s are an absolute bargain at the moment! Your best bet is carsales, eBay and this forum. They occasionally pop up on other trade sites but they're your main ones. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithscossie Posted 26, November 2012 Report Share Posted 26, November 2012 Welcome to the best city on earth ! But not for finding Clio's or Meganes etc etc If there is nothing available locally the cost to ship a car over from the eastern states is about $1900 There was a beautiful Clio available over east about a month ago, may still be around and I was tempted myself but bought a Pug 205 Dimma instead. Good luck and keep an eye out for the new French car club in WA starting soon " French and Fantastic " Hope to see you at a drive day soon Cheers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUSGO Posted 26, November 2012 Report Share Posted 26, November 2012 Welcome! Of course the other option is to fly over and drive it home. Remembering that it's about a 5 day trip but you will see more country than you thought possible along the way and guaranteed to pick up a few stone chips.

nemz Posted 27, November 2012 Report Share Posted 27, November 2012 Welcome Steve! I was just discussing the disparity of used car prices between the two countries with a few ex-UK guys last Sunday. It is truly amazing what you can get your hands on for peanuts over there. Good luck with the hunt. Keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidwestern Posted 28, November 2012 Report Share Posted 28, November 2012 Hey mate, just in case you are interested, there is a decent (looking, minus the stripes imo) 182 in Perth on carsales... Might be worth a look, http://www.carsales.com.au/private/deta ... ort=~Price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apex Posted 3, December 2012 Report Share Posted 3, December 2012 Welcome. How much is a VXR-8 in the UK though? Think of a RS as the equiv here, rare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
