Seeking Advise On 225

[billa]

hi Guys,

 

As I recently miss out clio 172, I continue my search and yesterday I stumble across megane 225 - http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Renault-Megane-2006/SSE-AD-3371412/?Cr=3

 

the owner of the car has went details about the car history, could you guys advise what I else i need to be aware and ask the owner about this car.

 

and do you think the asking price is bit high for what the mileage is for the car.

Hi billa and welcome!

 

There is some good reading in this link when a fellow n00b wanted some general info about what to look out for on 225s:

The ad says that it suits a free spirited driver. You'll need to carefully consider if that is you or not. (Although I don't know what that means in this context.)

 

Good luck!

hi Dooook,

 

thanks for your response and  the reference link to 225 buying guide.

 

the owner quote "it suits a free spirited driver", what do you think it could means?

It's actually quite nice I have to say. 9 years old with 12,000km per year is pretty low.

 

Couple of items that needed attention with my R26 were coil packs and injectors. My R26 was unique as it was always perfect for the first 20min after service.....then felt like it needed to go back.

 

It certainly isnt a Clio that you wanted.....but it's a hell of a car for not much money.

That doesn't sound too encouraging.  What do you mean by needing to go back 20 mins later?  Tongue in cheek hopefully, or was there a fundamental flaw somehow?
