1999 clio advice - smashing
Hi all,
Well my sister (at the moment 17) has been looking at buying a car. She is really taken with the clio and has found a 1.2 1999 with 77,000 miles on the clock for £995. I just wondered if anyone knew what she should be asking as im not to wise about clio's as i hate them lol does anything need doing at the 80,000 mile mark or anything like that??



Any advice welcome :)


thanks



Adam

Pretty good cars, if serviced properly the engines seem to be good. Electrics pack up on so check everything works. With this car make sure the cambelt has been changed fairly recently.

Make sure the electric power steering works if fitted too.

The cambelt needs to have been changed at least twice and the waterpump once. If it has a manual pop up sunroof it will rattle, if it has a wind/slide roof it is leaking. Apart from that they are good little cars.
