Hi Gang,
A friend of mine needs a new car and has around £1k to spend. Must be 1.2-1.4 engine size for insurance/running costs.
She likes the look of Renault Clios, I've driven a couple over the years and they seem ok.
Seen these two that look ok for the money:
Renault Clio 1.2 16V Dynamique Billabong 3dr | eBay
2001 Y Renault Clio 1.2 16v Sport | eBay
Any pearls of wisdom? I did a couple of wheel bearings on one for somebody back in the summer, and a headlight/tie bar bush for an MOT but other than that I've no idea what they're like!
What do you reckon - the slightly newer/better spec one with higher miles or the older one with lower mileage? Only a couple of years between them though I suppose.
Probably going to see the lower mileage one later on, should be a nice car with 40k if it's been looked after ok.
Will
