How much is my Clio worth?

Ben Cole · 22 Nov 2011 at 14:27

I really have no idea.

2004 dCi100 (100bhp model), good condition 3 door in blue.

Maintained following the Renault schedule by Renault then independent.

New clutch and timing belt/water pump done within the past 10k miles.

2 owners. Drives without fault. 60+mpg, £30 to tax. MOT till July.

BUT.......it's done 178,000 miles.

I'm thinking it's not worth selling as it'll save wear and tear on the other cars, taking stuff to the tip etc. etc.

What do we reckon?

£500?? Maybe not even that.

Keep it. If its still working as well as you have mentioned, and with the recent amount of work you have had done, it would be silly to get rid.

Keep it until it dies beyond repair, then scrap it.

I reckon you would still get around a grand for that.

If you want to do a deal with a 2002 plate Clio 172 with half the miles let me know.

Love Clios but I've already got three cars. Thanks for the offer.

People who like Clios do like the dCi100 it seems, they have similar economy as the lesser powered versions when driven normally but can keep up with your average repmobile too.

Yep the 100's are quite rare too.

Hit 200K then throw a party to celebrate.

Maz · 22 Nov 2011 at 15:09

£750

If you can prove it's not about to throw an injector/pump/turbo failure then about a grand.

Otherwise, good luck

Part of me definitely wants to do this ;-)

Keep it and run it into the ground.

Nobody will pay over £500 for it at that mileage.

SparkyTechWire · 23 Nov 2011 at 01:28

I'd value it at £287 (taking scrap value into account if it goes wrong) - obviously the car is worth a lot more to you personally, so I would keep it - eve for a runner

Next time I drive it I will pass the 200k mark. :-)

Keep it unless it'll cost you a significant amount to do so (insurance etc)

Yeah, I did do. This thread is a year and a half old.

Done another 22k miles with only another EGR clean and routine servicing.

Brookert · 13 Apr 2013 at 18:09

One thing I've learned about cars, always keep one that works. Sounds like that clio was well screwed together and well serviced!

Ben Cole · 13 Apr 2013 at 18:30

Yeah it's doing alright.

Last commute of 160 miles from door to door at a target cruising speed of 70mph yielded 70.4mpg.

Helped by the roadworks at 50mph, the average speed was 56mph.

PS. Obc is generous to the tune of 2mpg approximately.

233 · 13 Apr 2013 at 18:39

fuel economy is certainly impressive, so taking the obc into account your commuting 160 miles on less than 2 1/2 gallons of fuel. certainly not to be sniffed at

danza · 13 Apr 2013 at 18:44

That's quite impressive for such a car (the economy and the mileage it's managed!).
