Don't you want to crack on with the wide arch nova and drive that? I'm sure it will be more fun than a Clio, no point in spending loads on the Clio if the Novas almost ready

being french it will probably be totally shot if its on the wrong side of 50k

aye most french cars tend to lose intrest in life post 50K or 3 years.... IMO id really avoid them like the plauge (yes i know ive got a 205 and i hate it lol)

didnt mummy and daddy want to pay the stupid money you thought you could insure a beemer for then? lmao

make sure you count the wheels. You cant tell from driving them wether theyre missing one or not.

Make sure the headlights point forwards

Check -

Sunroof for leaks
rear arches for crust
all the eletrics work
if the gearbox makes any strange noises

There the main one's,then just the usual stuff -wheel bearings,headgasket,play in the rack etc
