Clio Sport 172/182 - short shelf life?
Discussion
After driving classics for the past year, I'm now looking at the possibility of taking on a modern to retain my no claims bonus (they cant be used in conjunction with a classic policy, apparently)
I'm looking for something relatively cheap, smart and quick, and a 172 or 182 seems to fit the bill. I'd be looking at spending £2-3k, and there seem plenty of decent cars for sale.. But they all seem to be getting moved on around the 70,000 mile mark. I realise that cambelt changes are important, but should I be concerned jumping into a well maintained car at that sort of mileage?
I guess what I'm driving at is there are very few high mileage cars for sale. Is this because they're all broken, or because they'd be worth so little to sell on their owners just keep them? Any help would be great, cheers guys.
