I'm in the market for a 197 or 200 RS Clio and just found this one on Gumtree

Has been for sale for quite a while. This and the very low mileage rings alarm bells. Not sure if any of the SA guys have had a look at it.

Where can he take the car to be checked out?

Any independent RS specialists in Adelaide?

[Mase]

Yes I have one. Pm md for details.

PM'd - thanks guys!

My dodgy memory tells me there could have been a Gordini with rear end damage. I'd be checking for accident history for sure.

Hope it's OK though.

So, does anyone know if there is anything dodgy with the car?

Yes! It had a front end collision and was a repairable write off.
The front bar, bonnet, headlights have all been replaced.
Do not touch it IMO!!!

People get so wound up about this stuff. If it had a checkered past but was repaired properly there's no reason someone shouldn't continue to love it.

 

Go in with your eyes open... but don't immediately disguard it.

Absolutely agree, as long as there is photos of the damage and the full details of what has happened and been repaired.

 

I contacted the owner of this one and she refused to tell me what really happened in the accident and used words like "but it looks brand new" and "it only had the front bar replaced". Yep cya bye.

Yeah, I think it's ok to omit the detail from the public advert in the first instance but it should be disclosed pretty promptly upon real interest. Edited 16, November 2016 by R182
