Spare parts for clios are there practically free, since it's so common - also mechanics like them, since older models are very simple to service.

Largest parts I had to replace so far were exhaust (60€ for part) last year and exhaust hatch (I don't know if that's the correct english term for that, 80€ for part) this year. Brake pads I had to change twice so far, but it was also pretty cheap.

With my mother I have a joke that rebuilding my clio from scratch would probably cost me less than tire change on her merc.

The only annoyance I have with it is that it's eating through light bulbs at annoying pace, since electricity in the older clios tends to be a bit funky. But okay, that's a 5min change usually.
