Hi guys... I'm thinking of buying a 2006 Renault Clio 1,6 automatic. Mileage: 128 100 KM. Still in good condition and just been for service. Price: 85 000ZAR (5 833,62 USD)
Should I take it? Please help🙏🏼

No.
The automatic is famously bad, and I know a friend mechanic who has one and HATED it.
The previous car you asked about isn't great, but it's still 10 times better.
BEST OPTIONS:
If you want a reliable car, Mazda3 3rd generation (Preferably a 2.0/2.5 gasoline), or late Corolla E150 (10th gen, mistakenly called it 11th previously. Preferably a 1.6/1.8 gasoline).
Something cheaper? But still Night and day better than a Renault or an Audi?
If you aren't going to get the best car, at least don't get euro-junk.
NOT GREAT BUT:
- late 1st generation Hyundai i20 / 2nd generation Hyundai i20 / 4th generation Hyundai Accent / Kia Rio 3rd generation / Kia Rio 4th generation
(1.2/1.4 KAPPA MPi [best] + 1.4/1.6 GAMMA MPi + manual / 4 auto / 6 auto)
- 2nd generation Kia Cerato / 2nd generation Kia Ce'ed / 2nd generation Hyundai i30 / 3rd generation Hyundai Elantra / 4th generation Hyundai Elantra
(1.4 / 1.6 GAMMA MPi + Manual / 6 Speed automatic)
ONLY THESE ENGINE'S AND TRANSMISSIONS, OTHERS (as in US / EU ECO MODELS) ARE JUNK.
