Thats extremely pricey!
You'll get one much cheaper than that.
19 is better than a clio in every respect, the only bad thing is the higher insurance group |

Mileage means nothing. R19’s are better in almost every aspect apart from Insurance, but you have to expect that. That’s pricey, but then again I got a R19 16V J plate with less than 79k on the clocks for £80! |

Why would you need a rebuild? Valvers can be costly, but you are better to maintain them correctly in the first place... most are just abused. |

If its been looked after properly it should last well above 160K without even having to consider anything like a rebuild |

erm you would be an idiot to pay that much. Get a decent one for under a grand easily.
Benefits over a clio, its faster, more stable, looks better, will get from a-b quicker, if you smash it you will survive, its a proper car.
Advantages of a clio, cheaper insurance, if you wear a cap and a bit girly it suits you, more gay add on crap if you like that sort of thing. |
