How much is this Clio worth?

[Ommid]

I have been offered a Renault Clio

It is 51 plate new shape, 30000 miles, 5 door, 1.4 privilege

How much do you think it is worth?

It needs tyres and about 80 pounds worth of paint work on the side

[dave87]

Best place to look is Parkers, look at the good price then knock 80+tyres*1.2 of that off, and that should be what you should offer

[Ommid]

20% of the good price?

can you just check it out for me please dave? im only 17 and am getting really confused with it being my first exp. lol

[dave87]

nah, sorry. Take the amount the paint is going to cost, add to it the cost of new tyres, fitting and balancing, and then add 20% to that. That new figure is what you should then knock off the 'good' price on parkers, and that would form your offer.

ah ok, ill see how i get on, thanks anyway

anyone here got a clio?

Parkers says £3535 based on 50k miles so it might be worth £3800 or so in A1 condition. Thats also asuming its a 2001 car, not a 2002.

Tyres might be £60 per corner so £240 for the 4. So you're looking at about £3400 for the car

[Ommid]

so is 2.8 good? thats wots being asked? when it says private poor does it mean like accident damaged

[BenW]

It could mean that but normally it would just mean torn seats, scratched paintwork, stained carpets etc etc. Basically something that hasn't been looked after. Maybe needing a service etc etc.

If its been in an accident then i wouldn't bother with it, after seeing a crash comparison with a non damaged car on fifth gear. The damaged car was a LOT of crumpled after the crash than the original car

[Ommid]

anyway i just bought it, thanks alot guys for your help

[Ommid]

no it isnt accident damaged, it is in good nick and has just been serviced motd taxed and valeted. just needs tyres and a bit of paint as i said

[andyr300]

id offer no more than £3,000

just look at what you could get for £3,000 on autotrader.

[Ommid]

cheapest priviliege i see is 4000
