Is this a known car ?

It's nice, but isn't it about twice as expensive as it should be?
I'm not massively clued up on the going rates for 200s, but I thought they were down to the 5-7k bracket now


Looks nice though

Hello boys and girls.....newbie checking in here ! I'm considering entering the Clio fray and have got an eye on this car.....

https://www.ktrcarsales.co.uk/used-renault-clio-blandford-forum-dorset-1441200

Looks to me like it has a forum sticker in the back window so wondered if anyone knew anything of the car....good or bad......or any thoughts on it generally would be appreciated. Thanks ! :smile:

Be patient mate as there’s loads of good ones out there a lot cheaper than that one.
 
Yes, I recognise that clearly the same car sold privately would be a good bit cheaper but I've a car to trade that I don't want to sell privately as I don't really have the time and if there's one thing in this world I really hate,.....it's selling cars privately lol
I've made an online enquiry and in principle they've made a fair offer for my car......though if they start picking holes in it and dropping their offer when they see it then there won't be any deal.......though if I can find some wiggle room in the 200 price lol I'd be a fool not to !
 
Lol, yes I've heard they divide opinion but don't traders always ? I've no personal experience so I won't judge until I do. They must have have given previous owner a fair price or they wouldn't have it.....and then, understandably, they have to make something out of it :)
 
Ktec, is that you?


Jokes aside. Sure they are a business and tbh others have been and gone so it says a lot. At that money it’s very much Megane 250 area and I know where my money would go. Ok I appreciate running costs would he higher etc.
 
Haha wow yeah that’s my old 200!! Great to see it again i wondered where it ended up :smile:

It’s not artic white though it’s pearl white. Was a good little car that and totally mint when I had it

Cool ! Thanks for the feedback...,I wasn't even aware there were different whites available lol can you remember the mileage when you let it go ?

I think but don’t quote me around 21 or so thousand. As said it was absolutely mint and got pretty much all the options. Agree with the above though definitely haggle on the price that’s too much.

Other than the colour that's pretty much perfect spec.
Exact same as mine except colour and cup spoiler, nice to see the recaros are in good nick

When I had it I always used seats covers lol that’s probably why. The seats barely ever saw the light of day
 
Amazing colour imo. If it's anything like the pearl white on the MK3 meganes it'll looks stunning in person under the right light.

Are you trading your escort cosworth for it? Id think long and hard about that.

Fantastic!! I think I've seen it before somewhere? I remember the font on the reg plate.

Thanks, though Imgur has destroyed the quality of the pics 😂 That's an Irish font on the plate, a result of having to go to Northern Ireland to get her....some real RS fanatics out there with some stunning cars !
You may well have seen her somewhere as at one time i used to drive her all the time to just about anywhere.......first pic is Wales (did you spot the Clio lol) and he second pic is Switzerland and we went many other places to as well as doing lots of charity events....the type where you give passenger rides for a donation. Sadly though she's not moved for about two years now since i got diagnosed with poxy parkinsons disease which has been proper shite !! That said, i'm having thoughts of getting her running again this year as just sitting there is doing it no good atall :( I can still drive but i just have to be a bit less of a hooligan than i used to be........which is a bit of a shame as she's a hooligans best friend with 550 BHP !:openmouth:

I really fancy one of these, would have to be blue for me though.

Last one I drove was a rally car, they look so damn cool!

In a perfect world i'd have an early big turbo car in Imperial Blue......but there aren't many ! Most of the blue big turbo's are Pacifica blue which i don't like so much so i settled for a red big turbo :)
 
That Escort is properly amazing! Love it, although hate the font lol.

To be honest, if you compare that Clio to the 25 nearest ones on AutoTrader, it's actually not a bad deal... others are £1-2k cheaper but have lower spec or higher miles. I think this one is the best deal out there at the moment... but depends if you wanted another red car :grinning:

Wow ! that is shiny..........shiny and a bit pink lol. Rather a long way from Essex also :( I think your'e right about the Ktec one, it's pricey but not to the point of being stupid :)

If you're in Essex, bring the escort to a meet when it's dry out. I rarely bother with meets, but will go if you bring it.
