Wanting to Purchase Clio 182 Cup

[STAIN]

G'day guys,

Im thinking of getting a second hand CLIO X65 Phase 3 SPORT 182 CUP, ive never bought a European car before are these cars reliable, any known issues or things I should look out for when looking at these cars? or anything else I need to know when looking..

thanks.

I own a 182FF (Full Fat) from 2004 (and have had the car for 3yrs now) and drive 160km a day (motorway)
I have only had 3 problems so far (new Xenon lamp unit) which was fixed under guarantee, new shocks on the rear, and a new alternator. That said I have damp in the passenger footwell which I am unsure what this is, but it has always been there.

So I would say mine is very reliable, starts always, never any other minor faults.
If buying a Cup check the suspension because it is really expensive to replace (Sachs dampers I believe)

Cannot recommend it more highly
