Bye bye 197

[kevo66]

The old fun bus goes to the dealers in a few days to be sold to someone else

It has been the car that cemented the Renaultsport name in my heart. Most fun car I have ever had!

Start the long wait till September now for the Twingo Cup on its nice new 60 plate!

:dapprove:

 

[Si]

it will be missed mate!

 

[Christopher]

White Twingo, I hope?

You'll love it mate. I use ours more than the Clio.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Black wheels on the twingo?

You really had no luck selling that atall eh?

Tiz ashame it was nice aswell

 

[kevo66]

Aye Danny, no one wanted it even at a very cheap price Its been well driven but well cared for.

Chris, White Twingo Cup, Black and White ID pack and black wheels

 

[Christopher]

[Mr Burns]

At least you're replacing it with something decent mate, those little Twingos were flying round at Oulton last time I was there!

 

[Sarah]

why you getting rid kev? MPG?

im sure u will have so much fun in the little twingo

 

[SteveS Cup]

What's the deal with a twingo cup? Light spec 133??

I love those little things!

Shame about the 197... 60 plate sounds cool!

 

[trailerparktrev]

Are the standard wheels on the Twingo Cup black? I thought they were "amphasite" (anthracite?) On the Renault website spec list they are black??

Also what is the white and black i.d. pack?

 

[Vicky.]

Awesome choice on the twingo! They're great cars.

Hope you enjoy it as much as you did the 197.

 

[kevo66]

The black and white ID pack is £150 which is black bumper inserts, black mirrors and a black spoiler on the back!

 

[SteveS Cup]

It sounds pretty cool! You're brave modding that 197 as much as you did when it's on tick!

sounds good but what is the optional payment all about? i dont get finance :S

 

[kevo66]

Either give it back and walk away.

Re-finance and carry on paying.

Use any equity in the car as a deposit agianst a new car!

 

[theduck]

The optional final payment is what you pay to keep the car at the end of the finance, or you hand the car back, or you sell the car privately and pay off the final payment.

TBF that is a cracking deal, just a shame the twingo doesnt save me much in terms of running costs, or monthly expenditure.

 

[Luke_19]

it does sound really tempting you know...i cud afford that and im only a part time worker lol but i dunno

 

[SteveS Cup]

That's not really car finance. That's leasing.

 

[172boost]

If you pay the final payment it's car finance. If you hand it back then yeah you're right.

Insurance is dirt cheap mate!! Me and the mrs (4 yrs younger) £260 fully comp! MPG will be better, the OC reckon that the average is 36 but I reckon I'll see 40's easy as I get nearly 32 out of the 197!!

That's not really car finance. That's leasing.

Deoends what you do at the end!!

 

[SteveS Cup]

Yeah you 2 are right. I don't know anyone who has stumped up the money when given the option to carry on pay next to nothing a month for another new car!!!

 

[theduck]

Whose that insurance with mate? I cant get quotes below £700 even without Sarah on the policy!

 

[dmn1989]

promise me thats a guarrenteed future value and not just a optional final payment?

 

[kevo66]

swiftcover, thru tesco compare mate

promise me thats a guarrenteed future value and not just a optional final payment?

?? How do you mean? Its just the final payment I think

 

[dmn1989]

guarrenteed future value means the cars definately going to be worth what the payment is, whereas a OFP is just a optional final payment, and they dont have to offer you the value of the final payment

 

[Mells]

MPG a little but mainly the finance, had anothe 3yr on the 197 @£320 a month where as this is 2yr at £199

Three hundred and twenty quid a month to drive a 197? Jesus!

How much was the insurance on top of that? Twingo much cheeper?

 

[SteveS Cup]

£320 per month is M3 money... and the 197 is M3 economy!!! lol.

 

[theduck]

swiftcover, thru tesco compare mate



?? How do you mean? Its just the final payment I think

Just given them a go, only £10 less than i paid for just me on the cup, but with Sarah on umits £100 less than I paid for just me ob the 197, and £330 less then with her on the 197. Is tempting...

 

[clairemae]

i got the 200 on the similar deal looking forward to it also sept is a long wait though!

 

[jocker]

not tempted by the Gordini?

 

[theduck]

not tempted by the Gordini?

Gordini is for blind people isn't it?

 

[kevo66]

Im old, I dont pay much insurance!!

Yerp, £320. Got mugged off by a the salesman TBH! Best way to learn
