Description

1996 Renault Twingo, 1.2L, 3-door hatchback, 5-speed manual, left-hand drive. French Motors (Yanase) authorized import. 160,900 km, actual mileage. Canvas sunroof, air conditioning, power windows, ETC, airbags, original aluminum wheels, spare tire and spare key included. Owned by multiple prior keepers and driven sparingly; only 200 km in the past year. Full repaint in original French Blue. Seller describes this as "junk" only to emphasize its age and that it is a 30-year-old French mass-market car; the vehicle runs normally. Recent maintenance includes new wiper blades, clutch cable, spark plugs, and engine oil; air conditioning recharged one year ago. Known defects: washer tank leaks at the pump area; driver door handle bezel cracked but door opens/closes without issue. Canvas roof opens/closes smoothly, fabric supple but age-worn; no tears or holes. Dash uncracked; steering wheel rim has small gap at top but no impact on operation. Floor mat shows most visible age wear with soil and fraying. Meter lighting somewhat dim. Remote key requires multiple tries to function despite battery replacement. Includes original book case (partially defective), owner's manuals, and service records (gaps in early years). Inspection through October 2026 pending; scheduled for October 1 with unknown completion date. Seller emphasizes understanding of age, potential hidden defects, and French car reliability reputation.

30-year-old vehicle in functional condition. Known issues: washer tank leak, cracked driver door handle bezel, dim meter lighting, unreliable remote key function. Plastic and rubber components show age-related degradation.
