No trackdays in mind just a car with the wow factor. I like the looks of the Renault but i think the vx220 is awesome also and would be much cheaper to keep on the road. The 20k is pushing my budget and I dont want to get nasty surprises so Im thinking the vx220 is the "safe" solution.

I am possibly the most indecisive person when it comes to cars. I have 20k to spend what shall I buy? I have narrowed it down to these 2, please no scooby, EVO, rx8, 350z posts they are out of it as I dont like them... Mk2 Clio V6 0-60 5.8sec Insurance £1400pa Combined Fuel 25MPG As an...

The car would be in private residents parking, so not on the street but not garaged. Its tucked away so I would feel safe leaving it there, during the day in a work car park where I can just look out the window to check on it. Im assuming that a mk2 v6 model would come with a warranty which...

im swaying towards the 182 i must admit.....if I want it I can get a brand new titanium 182 + both cup packs delivered to my door by the end of the week for 12,350.

if I went for the V6 and based on my costings previous I would have in the region of 1600 left every month. My mortgage and house bills, food shopping etc combined is about 1000pm so that will leave me 600pm to well either spend or save. Is that cutting it a bit tight do you think??

so based on my last post on the finance and running costs aspects what would each of you do?

all thanks to you beacytan, you must have scared them off with your "v6v6v6v6v6v6v6" impression :D

lets add something else into the mix... Finance for it would cost me in the region of 450 a month, fuel another 200, insurance 100 month (after a 1000 deposit) So thats 750 a month, more than my mortgage... 182 finance would cost me 250pm, fuel probably 150, insurance 100 with no deposit...

done that brazo, if its just me its over a 1000 a year, g/f brings it down to nearly 900. I do at least 15000 miles a year though...

nobody yet brazo, had company cars all my working life up till now, trouble is my lasty company I worked for went down the pan and I have no idea who they used for fleet insurance so I can claim my no claims if any, so Im starting afresh with 0 NCB and 3 points TS20. Tried elephant BTW, thats...

thats exactly where im at beacytan (thanks to you too RoninV6) It really is only the looks of the V6 that is keeping my attention and the noise of course, other cars in the similar price bracket just dont do it for me (rx8, 350z, boxster, scoob, evo). I want something with "uniqueness" ;) My...

I do about 60 miles a day to and from work and its just me and my girlfriend no kids. Im 28 and I have a good job and Im torn between a 182 with the cup packs and a V6. I looked briefly at a boxster S but its juts too boring and common. I have an apartment with my girlfriend so we are sorted...

a lot of what I saw for sale b4 xmas were Mk1s but you are right there are more 03/04 Mk2 models oming onto the marlet. People dont seem to keep them for very long, maybe the novelty wears off quickly..

ive found a Nov 03 mars red v6 at a renault dealership for 19,600. 9000 on the clock. Not a bad price and the security from buying from a reputable source.

yea it will! if dust etc is allowed into the engine then it will collect in the oil. If you change the oil then youll get rid of it. so yes it will contaminate the oil...:D
