Renault R9 1.6 Txe Dh

Description

For sale: Renault 9 Txe 1992 — single owner, 114,000 km from factory. Unique in Argentina due to its equipment, color (Byzantine red), usage history, and preservation condition — it is a collector's item. It is the most fully equipped version: 1.6-liter carbureted dual-throat engine — the most powerful variant ever produced, available only from 1992 to 1993. Equipment: Air conditioning (features a climate control system allowing simultaneous use of heating and cooling functions, directing separate airflow streams to defog and cool the cabin at the same time). Power-assisted steering. Power-assisted brakes. (Features an automatic self-compensating system to balance servo demand, automatically increasing idle speed as needed.) Dual front headlights with high-performance split optics: when high beams are activated, both dual headlights illuminate together — delivering exceptional luminous power. German OSRAM Night Breaker white bulbs installed in all optical units. Original Cibie Valeo fog lights — amber, no longer available. Era-appropriate "petal-style" sport seats, shared with the Renault Fuego GTX and R18 Txe. Gray corduroy upholstery with black dot pattern — immaculate. Electric window lifts. Electric central locking. (Features a system that, if activated while the driver’s door is open, automatically locks the vehicle upon closing the door.) Ignition-on warning light for headlights; interior glovebox light and passenger seat reading light. All equipment fully functional. Mechanically flawless, with documented maintenance history: tires, brakes, shock absorbers, front suspension, drive belts, spark plugs, battery, ignition system, carburetion, oil and filter changes (all recently performed) — everything is like new. The car drives impeccably; clutch and transmission are also in perfect condition. On highways, it cruises comfortably at traffic speeds using low engine RPMs thanks to its long 5th gear — achieving excellent fuel economy. It is an exceptionally reliable, comfortable vehicle with very low maintenance costs. No further registration fees apply. Free of any liens or debts; all documentation is current and valid. Modifications performed: The original dashboard was replaced with a fiberglass unit, since the plastic dashboards used by Renault during this era tended to dry out and crack — a common issue affecting the Renault 9, 11, Trafic, and other models. This replacement unit is of superior quality — the best available at the time of installation — matching the interior color precisely and fitting perfectly; the risk of cracking is eliminated due to its fiberglass construction. The interior appears brand new — no signs of wear or upholstery degradation, as visible in the photos. The headliner and carpets show no flaws whatsoever. Aesthetically, the photos speak for themselves: bodywork and paintwork are flawless — always maintained using premium products. The original stereo was replaced with a Pioneer unit — the top model of its era (circa 1998), featuring two 6x9 oval speakers mounted on the rear window plus two more in the doors and two tweeters. Sound quality is outstanding in both fidelity and power; supports CD and MP3 playback. This brand and model were selected for their superior build quality and because the display backlighting matches the dashboard’s color scheme exactly. Includes remote control and multiple equalizer presets. Excellent bass response with pronounced low-end emphasis. Two sets of original keys. Original owner’s manual. Original window decals. This car is leaving our family. We hope its new family continues to cherish it just as much. It is ideal for classic car meets and regularity rallies — and, given its age, it is now eligible for official registration in such events. Ready to enjoy. After maintaining it for 34 years, I may have overlooked many details — feel free to ask any questions; none will be inconvenient.
