ConRoo7 Posted 19, August 2018 Report Share Posted 19, August 2018 (edited) Hi all. We're intersted in a Clio 197. Wandering if there's anything in particular we should have an eye out for. This particular one has just over 100,000ks with a full service history. Also it's still an original car. No mods. Timing belt was replaced at 65k. Are they replaced at every 60,000 or at 100,000. Would greatly appreciate any advice Has 6 months rego and will include a RWC. What sort of money should I be paying.

apple3337 Posted 19, August 2018 Report Share Posted 19, August 2018 Have you got a link for the car? Timing belt every 100,000 or 4 years whichever comes first. I'd get any car you are interested in getting checked first by Paul at Auto Paris in box hill. Generally they are pretty bullet proof. Maybe a synchro issue on the older cars. What's the budget?

apple3337 Posted 19, August 2018 Report Share Posted 19, August 2018 Just checked out the ad. Looks good value if everything is ok. Price seems very fair as long as its been looked after. 8000 to 8500 is about what its worth imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woot woot Posted 19, August 2018 Report Share Posted 19, August 2018 Get it inspected before you buy. I got mine checked by alpine affaire in ringwood for 120. Virage in South Melbourne also do inspections for similar money.It's worth getting it checked so you can negotiate if there is anything that needs fixing.Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConRoo7 Posted 19, August 2018 Author Report Share Posted 19, August 2018 (edited) Thanks for all the valuable advice. I'll let you know how it eventuates. The last service was completed at alpine affair around 2000ks ago. I'll ring them tomorrow and have a chat Edited 19, August 2018 by ConRoo7 To add another point 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
