Love it! You'd barely get €50 off but I'd nearly be tempted to get a lift to Wexford to pick that baby up

is that a taped wing mirror

unkel · 09-02-2017 06:09PM

Beggars can't be choosers for €450, Cyrus. If it's good enough for the NCT, it's good enough for me

I'd get a bit of dark tape though

colm_mcm · 09-02-2017 07:32PM

And get rid of those stupid rings around the headlights.

Problems;
-its got a few marks on the body
-its a green Renault Scenic

Good;
-NCT to 6/17
-Tax to 5/17
-€350

The Missus has a '99 version of that Scenic. Have it for about 12 years, Sails thru' the NCT every year. Pretty reliable. Unfortunately, I also use it as a workhorse & broke a rear shock last week. Pair of new shocks costs more that the car is worth !!.

Same here. If it was closer I would upgrade my 200.

The Toyota stereo is worth a good chunk of this! Very unusual to see one with this much gear. Usual D-4D caveats apply.

One downside is I think these only came in 90bhp, 110/116 wasn't on them AFAIK.

colm_mcm · 09-02-2017 10:00PM

Nice.

Is that a sat nav too or just a big radio?

Yeah, it's satnav.

Something appealingly spartan about this. orange lenses and basic wheels.

Really common problem on them is that the glass falls out of the mirrors. I came up with a permanent fix for it at one point but I can't remember what it was... The cable for the heater always catches it so it won't fall on the ground.

Things like that separate the wheat (Mercedes, BMW, etc.) from the chaff (Toyota, Nissan, etc.) even at the €400 end of bangernomics

They really are great cars those CLKs for the money they are going for these days. As far as I know they all came with cruise etc. You couldn't buy a manual one!! they are lovely quiet comfortable cruisers.

Thinking back I think I actually used low tech Tech 7 or some such to stick it back in. They break because the plastic clips go really brittle

unkel · 10-02-2017 12:04AM

I've always had a soft spot for them myself

Have you owned one before?

I promise you would like one! the 6 cylinder engines and the Avantgarde suspension setup really makes them.

unkel · 10-02-2017 01:06AM

Nope, driven one (boggo 200 auto) but never owned one!

punisher5112 · 10-02-2017 01:52AM

Wonder is there any issue with the clk I really like it though.

Quite sad when you start to recognise the location of non descript backgrounds of the pictures.

Originally I was thinking 500 would be the right sorta money for it provided it's sound mechanically.

MrRolex · 10-02-2017 11:42PM

Why waste your time with a dented one?
Here is a clean '04 with September NCT for 1250 Euro. I reckon it will sell for 1000-1100. Much better value. Same mileage but 2 years younger.

The 150 BHP facelift ones are worth more in parts than whole these days.
750 for the engine, 150 turbo, 150 gearbox, 20 per injector, etc.
No one wants them with dents, even with NCT as there are too many clean ones for sale for with NCT for around 1K.

Lads, don't take this so seriously. Under 2K cars, some will like your picks some won't.
Not worth getting worked up over.

I thought you said you were done with this thread?
