Paging ALL R27 owners!

[Iridium]

Cheers guys

Dan

 

[Beef-Mc]

clio197.net aint it?

 

[Iridium]

Lol ffs yea it is heh. I did every single combo of .com and .co.uk and everything else i could think of heh!

Cheers dude

Now, if I can just find one for sale at a reasonable price, £12.5-£13k - I'd be joyous!

 

[polarbert]

I saw one around that price somewhere. Maybe Pistonheads.

Or a 2nd hand Nimbus Cup, with A/C if anyone sees one in a dealer? Renault Macclesfield had a 4k mile cup, for £11,979, with A/C, Recaros and Nimbus. But it just sold

Cheap as chips that, even with that mileage it imo.

 

[The_Pirate]

[dynamique_g]

Aye, but I really want an R27 rather than a normal 197 - plaques are cool hehe

I spotted the one at Lloyd Mini - it's £13,995 and it's had most of the stickers removed - I like the stickers heh! I might ring them next week though and see where I can get them to go on price...

Re: the vee going. Well as I said elsewhere, I've been doing and will be for the forseeable a lot of mileage to the hospital in Leeds and back. The Vee is so unsuitable for this really, it's loud, not really enough space for some stuff, but the main worrys are piling the miles on it - as everyone knows the low mileage ones are the sought after ones, and also parking it at St James' (right next to Chapeltown) is a constant worry really with the amount of "If your car is nicked/smashed up it's not our fault" signs around. I worry about coming back to find it pranged/broken into/robbed because, let's face it, it's not really discreet heh...

So I figure, with the MPG not been a real issue, a R27 was the perfect compromise, I can still drive it like I stole it and have immense fun when the mood takes, but when it doesn't it'll munch the miles in comfort with ease. Before anyone pipes up with the noisy on the motorway thing, that's just not true heh, they're fine up to a tonne before it get's noisy (from test drives).

Edit - With regards to Alans, we had a chat about it, but he's not ready to sell just yet

Dan

Why are private sellers asking so much??

Would consider swapping my trophy for one but not at the silly prices i've seen.

 

[Iridium]

Can't blame them for wanting top dollar of course, but most of the adverts have been around for weeks and months, so it doesn't look like they're moving at the mad prices.

I think that most are hoping for higher prices (as we all would) because they either, A, paid a lot for the car themselves (list price for example)
Or, B, they got it for less than list price & are hoping not to lose that much on it or to make a bit of cash on it.
Or, C, they maybe don't know that a potential buyer can get a new one for a good price.

[Iridium]

V6 has sold sorry mate (well, I've taken a chunky deposit heh). I'm just gonna keep an eye pinned on Pistonheads and Autotrader till one appears

Dan

 

[R20 CWH]

there was a belter of an R27 for 19k

:rasp:

 

[Moby]

Keep an eye out for my old black R27 - circa 8k on the clock. Should be somewhere in Cumbria I'd think.

[Se7en172]

I sold my 197cup in glacier white, recaros, aircon, black speedlines and extra airbags for a nice sum of £12200 private. 5 months old and 4500miles!
I was happy

 

[R20 CWH]

not bad given a dealer was doing new ones for £13,1 otr up here.

 

[Se7en172]

I paid £13300 for mine, lost a grand in 5months of ownership.
But in reality I dodn't lose anything!
gutted to see it go, but with my first child on the way I didn't want to take any chances, and wanted a nice lump of cash in the bank!

 

[R20 CWH]

£1k isnt too steep imo, still an element of rareness to them and yours was nicely spec'd which makes it a bit easier i feel.

least you owned it!! Did look good with the unique janspeed chat on it

 

[Ian_182]

Wait for a 2 year old one and save thosands,as with most new sports

Went for £11.5, makes the private cars very expensive:S

 

[Stevo_172]

Have patience and find a Nimbus or Black R27.

You won't regret it!!!

 

[cat171]

Nimbus does look nice.

 

[Stevo_172]

Some more eye candy...
