    Why should it? Why don't you ask the seller? Has it been changed or original?

    If your only concern is the audio then that's not a good way to buy a car.

    Possibly not, Renault did still put cassettes in a few low spec models.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    :T very good inner zone....yes my only concern is the audio...thats what I clearly said :rotfl:

    was just wondering (tis all!) how long cassettes have been replaced by CD's...thought it was pre 2007!

    you really need to take a long hard look at your crabbit attitude matey

    well molerat knows this site is for asking advice...

    so in your world if you want advice about a loan you shouldn't ask in the loans section, you should ring the banks...good then no need for this site...ok Martin you are fired :D

    I would expect it to be indicative of a very, very low spec car in 2007! Or it's been changed, ask if it's renault original.

    BUdget £100-£150 for a new stereo and adaptor cables/plates to bring it up to spec with bluetooth and Mp3 playback etc.
