Thinking of selling before March and getting something a bit better for motorway trips all the time to Uni (Focus maybe). Although im in two minds about it because I love this car!

80k on the clock. Loads of history and receipts. Bought it last year off here from donsrno1 who looked after it perfectly. Comes complete with cliosport sticker!

Naples Red 1.4 RT with the following mods:
Lowered 55mm on new springs and new shocks (only been on since March)
Colour coded wingmirrors, debadged boot.
Stainless Steel exhaust system which sounds lovely.
Smoked indicators.
15" black dezent alloys, all with tyres with good tread.
Laguna splitter at the front to finish it off.

Mechanically the car is in top condition just now. Recently had new brake pads and disks, and a new radiator put in.

The bad bits are all bodywork related really. It's an old car so its got the expected trolley dings and scratches, and theres some rust on the rear arches beginning to show. I took out the foglights at the front because they were cracked, but never bothered to buy new ones.

As sam said this is my old car and I can vouch for it being an excellent wee motor. It wasn't mentioned in the advert but I also changed the timing belt, tensioners and water pump when sam bought the car (about 5k miles ago iirc) and it was very regularly serviced with a number of parts replaced fairly recently.

Really would like to see this stay in one of the owners clubs.

BUMP

Great car. Disappointed your selling, although a Focus would be miles better for the motorway.

Hardly any clio's left now in the area :bye:

how quickly are you wanting to buy?

i didnt expect much interest so early on. I've hardly saved for a replacement yet lol.

I'm just gona hold out for a while with the sale unless a really good offer comes up, touch up the odd cosmetic on the car in the meantime. Thanks for your offer though mate!

You can, but the thing is that a lot of people are only going to be looking for a 1.4 as they can't afford valver insurance so imo it is a fair price for the things that have been done to it.
