Been on the lookout for a while now for a Clio 200 (mk3) Ive been being quite fussy about the exact car I ideally want but my searching seems to be limited to PH, Autotrader, eBay and Facebook had a brief look on a couple of forums but they don't seem to have much traffic these days which I'm guessing is down to the age of the cars.

Is there anywhere I'm missing?

That decent ones are now very thin on ground or squirrelled away. Keep searching.

Mini Cooper or Abarth 595 are more plentiful.

For that type of car you might do well with a 'WANTED' type advert on the Clio forum/groups/etc, especially if you say you pay good money for one in good nick (eg. more than someone looking to Part-ex or WBAC it would get).

I'd recommend the Clio Facebook forums. There's quite a few gone up for sale recently.

ClioSport is absolutely massive, I sold my last Clio 8 years ago and still visit regularly! Not exactly sure how many cars for sale though, as I'm there purely for the bantz. As someone else suggested, might be worth chucking out a wanted advert?

Thanks for all the replies, sounds like I've got most of those bases covered but a few other places to keep an eye on.

I have put a couple of wanted posts up on a couple of the Facebook groups but I haven't tried the forums.
