It is with apprehension that I’m putting our 2001 Renault Sport Clio 172 (Phase II) up for sale. This was my girlfriends’ car, but I have just bought her a Renault Sport Megane 225. The Clio is in pretty good condition for a 13 year old car. The exterior comes up really well when clean, and whilst there are a few imperfections, it still turns heads… the interior is pretty good condition too.

It also seems to be in really good mechanical condition still… the engine is strong, gearbox is smooth, suspension and brakes work perfectly, and there are no funny noises.
Receipts show it has had a really good service history. When we purchased the Clio, a bit over a year ago, we chose this one because it had obviously been well looked after, and felt nice and tight. It received 4 new rotors and pads, new rear shocks, new rear wheel bearings and new front strut tops for the RWC (12/09/13). Shortly after purchasing it we had a pedantic Renault workshop look over it (26/09/13). They replaced the crank pulley, both inner tie rods, a driveshaft boot, the pollen filter, and the brake fluid. They also replaced the ECU and Body Computer to fix an intermittent immobiliser fault. Just between the RWC and the follow up work, $3000 was spent on the Clio. The car has been faultless since then. We fitted a new (standard) exhaust on it, as it had a sports exhaust that was just a bit too loud. I recently changed the oil (5W-40 full synthetic) and filter (01/09/14). The car is due for its’ timing belt to be replaced (by time, not km’s). The car is stock/unmodified, except for a K&N panel filter and a high-flow cat. I can provide a sports exhaust with an option of 2 rear mufflers (loud and really loud), but I think the standard system does the job just as well, but quieter.

It has registration until mid-March 2015, and at my asking price will come with a RWC.
