I bought mine 2.5 years ago with 44,000 for 8K. Going price back then for a good one! (Touch wood), if I didn't spend money modifying it, then I would not have spent any money on it at all, apart from the normal running costs (service, petrol, insurance). It has just clocked 59,000 and it is so RELIABLE!!! My wife had a Clio 16v before we sold it with low mileage (35,000) and it kept cutting out and the Renault Stealership were never able to get to the bottom of the problem! Good luck on finding one! I'm only down the road as well in sunny Crawley! 8) [ Edited Thu Jan 06 2005, 03:48PM ]
