Summary

Renault 19 1997 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Renault 19 1997: VIN VF1L53H05TR502878, model year 1997, mileage 290k km, petrol engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $1,100. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — budget for maintenance and inspect the body and anti-corrosion treatment carefully. High mileage — check the service history and the condition of the engine and gearbox.

Market position

Based on current data, 10 similar offers were found for the Renault 19 1997 (same model, year ±2). Market prices range from $600 to $2,700 with a median of $1,100, and this offer is within ±7% of the individual estimate (≈ $1,108). This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history and possible bargaining.

Insight: The price is in line with the market — a balanced offer. Wide price spread — the final value depends heavily on trim, condition and mileage.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 2, transfers — 1, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — 5. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 2021-01-23. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (2) — typical for the car’s age. There were transfers but the plate stayed the same — the history was not broken up by plate changes.
