[jamie128]

Hey guys, im buying a cheap clio for 3400 roughly

Ive found one which i want but it has 63000 miles on it, i need the car to last me till 100,000 miles really, is this possible on petrol cars as i never see many over 100,000 on autotrader

I took a mk1 clio from 20k to 100k, looked after it quite well though and it did give me a lot of headaches.

Personally if I had 3400 burning a hole in my pocket I wouldn't spend it on a clio... Corolla has to be a better bet.

i think its the mk2 im looking at, i dont think theres many known problems with the clio mk2
