I have owned the vehicle since August 2010 and enjoyed every minute of it, unfortunately the time to sell has come. I am the third owner and the Clio comes with 2 keys, original handbooks and wallets and a stack of receipts and is currently sitting on 83k.

• Ktec stealth supersports unsilenced full stainless cat back system replaced at 80,962 (3k ago) – this was bought brand new at a cost of £300 and will last the lifetime of the car.

The above is what I have replaced during my ownership and have receipts to back this up (I have a box file full of documents)

The Renault wallet also contains all the old receipts from the previous owner who owned the car for 7 years! – The book is stamped up to 54k.

















There are a few minor points;

The bonnet has a few dimples where it has been closed with a little too much effort; this was present when I purchased the car.

A few car park dints but these are very minor and only noticeable when really looking for them.

The pattern part exhaust that was previously fitted damaged the bumper on a long motorway journey. The angle and design of the tailpipe was incorrect and as a result it’s melted a small section of bottom edge of the rear bumper. I hastily removed this exhaust and replaced this with a quality system. This is an easy fix for someone with the facilities and know how on how to rectify.

It waxes up like a dream and has regularly been waxed with Collinite 845 - regular hand washing brings it up gleaming.

Overall this is a very genuine car with all the history to back it up, this regularly returns 36mpg on mixed driving and handles better than anything else I have driven. Viewing is recommended. I am based in Accrington, Lancashire (BB5).

I am willing to part ex for a Subaru Impreza bug eye. Please contact me on 07932 399531 or jdmscoobwrx (at) googlemail.com

are these things economical on motorways at 70ish ?

 

Surprisingly yes, you will see 40+ mpg on the OBC when cruising on the motorway- with mixed driving (my commute) it never goes below 34 mpg.

 

Saturday morning bump

 

Is there a mark/dent on the centre of the rear bumper?

 

No there isn't a dent there, it must just be the picture

 

Sold !
