    Apparently not when there's 190k miles on that one.

    Could you imagine the costs involved, any I ever drove or seen were giving huge issues.
    Mostly electronic.

    One day had one battery was dead so had battery pack on it, had the key in pocket, it wasn't keyless start and came back out later the car was running.... It started itself....

    It was actually one of the most technological advanced cars of it's time when it came out especially compared to the crappy Mondeo that was out at the same time.
    Of course the fact a lot of that technology had not been probarly tested was part of its downfall unfortunatly.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Renault were always mad for tech that didn't work, early 80s R9/11 with central locking, electric windows and electric sunroof, they always calved when the window/roof was open,

    Thankfully they have learnt from this the hard way but they learnt and now make some of the best most reliable cars you can buy.

    It's a renault so lets not be getting overly excited about the price either.

    It survived this long so that's a good sign. As I said originally it's a gamble but it's dirt cheap and even if it blows up 2 months down the road it's only cost you 450 and you will still get about 80 back for scrap. Your average newer car loses more than that in depreciation each month. There are no certainties with a 450 car.

    Soulless though, Renault 18 was a pretty car in its day, the 5Turbo was mad fun and the Renault 4 was quirky and unbelievably useful, same would apply to PSA new French stuff does nothing for me

    For a TDi, that mad. Has he any NCB or is it his first car. As I paid around that if not more on my first and even second car. But I did have a provisional licence though not from failing the test or anything I just drove around with the provisional as you were able to do that back then.

    He's on a learner permit (which is an extreme example too). His friends who have a year or 2 NCB don't find insurance that bad at all. From what he says..
