Certainly low miles. Has recently been reduced aswell.

20k miles for £7,500?

Whats the catch I wonder.

 

[Foxspeed]

needs a good clean....

looks ok - such low miles always makes me wonder if thats because its been unreliable and in the workshop most of the time :tongue_smilie:

even if its only done 20k it should still be serviced every 12month...so 5 stamps in the book!

i you buy it first job is a brake service - they seize even with regular use

Bit high for a poverty spec car IMO

Can you find an example of one with more toys at the same price/condition?

Apparently serviced every year, 1 owner, 12 months warrenty, next service is on them, 6 months tax, new MOT, 7 day insurance blah blah.

Looks alright but its parked across a blue badge spot which is a bit out of order..

It's fine if that's what you're looking for.

But I'm sure you can find a 06/07 plate with low mileage probably for a grand or so less for the same car.

if its what you want go have a look and make sure the "next service" is the belts service :thumbsup:

buyers market so should be keen to do a deal

 

[deadmau5]

There's no way I would pay £7.5k for that car. Buy on condition, not mileage.

An older car will be cheaper though?

Next service won't be the belts one.

Why not?

Obviously condition plays a big part of buying the car, but with low miles there is an assumption that it will be in a resonable condition.

I just had a look on pistonheads for other cars and to me, it seems like there isn't a great selection out there at the moment. For an extra £750 you could have this: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...ort-clio/renaultsport-clio-197-f1-team/699064

 

[furiouspilgrim]

Sure, but it's an extra £750, twice the miles, an extra owner, a year older, no tax and miles away from a non franchise dealer.

[furiouspilgrim]

why wont the next service be belts....its 6yrs old+ so NEED doing...

08 reg, should be 5 years old this year? So belts next year at 6 years old?

 

[Foxspeed]

08 reg, should be 5 years old this year? So belts next year at 6 years old?

well if it HAS full history then the belts should have been done 5yrs old....?

if not then the next service the one they said they would do "free" should be belts then at 6yrs old - low miles so should be ok for that age?
