105K is a lot on a Renault mate, has the head been replaced on it at all?

[D4N]

doesnt say, im gonna ring the guy on monday, see if i can go have a look. theres others on the sutotrader site, but that one just looked in decent nick, well chuffed with the insurance quote though!

[Mish]

i'd be wary of that 105k miles mate. Mines only done 85k and its only a year older. S/H with them is a must really. If your really after one save and wait for a decent one. Although that will be more expensive in the long run its better, and they keep there value well as there isn't loads around so you won't lose massive of money in the process.

and the insurance... im paying 1070 TPFT on my own policy, no no-claims :lol:

Try elephant.co.uk matey.

[D4N]

ok nice one, ill go give it a look, ask some questions, but ill keep ma eye out, it aint gonna be on the drive for at least 2 months anyway cause i gto ma exams at college, so ill just keep looking! im deffo having one tho! :D

[Mish]

I'd seriously think it through though. If its a first car as well. They arnt always cheap to maintain IF they go wrong and then insurance quote takes the piss really mate, u may as well go get a wad of money and throw it down the drain... think it through proper 1st :D

[D4N]

ok! u just wanna be the only one on the site with one :P the way i figure is im still at home, not paying mortgage, council tax etc, so ive got all the money im earning, save a bit of keep to the old folks, to spend on a car, even if i just have on of these for a year and then get something a bit more sensible.

[Mish]

Nah not at all more the merrier. I threw money away on the Gsi insurance . Not to the extent urs is costing but its proper worth thinking about before u jump into it as I loved the Gsi to pieces but looking back i wish id of waiting an extra year so the insurance would of gone down...just so u no :wink:

[Bodge]

very nice but as peeps have already said, the mileage is a lot, my old clio - now helens is a year older and on has 80k on the clock, however - if its been well looked after mileage may not be an issue. my beemers a 92 k' plate and has 160k on the clock!! Mine came with fsh and a bmw service stamp for every six months its been on the road so had been well looked after. body kit , excuse me if i'm wrong but i dont see any bodywork that isnt standard on that.

[Mish]

yeh says its colour coded, is from factory- says its got a body kit- like that from the factory looks tidyish but never saw the price either. nie on 3k for a car on 105k.... no no no no no!

[D4N]

alrite alrite! point taken, mileage is too high! ill keep lookin :cry: wouldnt mind a set of those rims though, anyone know what they are?

[20jamie]

mite be '100+' osaka's i think not sure tho

[shrek]

its a tidy looking motor but i'd be wary of a renault with over 100k on clock (he says with a renault thats done 140,000)

[Eagle1711]

very nice but not with 105k mines on a L-reg and it has 38k :D

[Mish]

its the price tag 2. 3k is alot and il say i didnt pay newhere nr that 4 mine :!:

[Grant]

milage aint even that bad.... its over 10 years old.... so its average miles....i.e 10k a year. and it its been serviced correctly then theres no reason not to buy it.
just cos a car has over 100k doeesnt mean its been abused or about to fall apart!!!

[Eagle1711]
