Iain C's super cheap 200 t

Iain C · Thursday at 8:52 PM

Hi all so I just picked this up as a daily after my countryman cooper s was a pain to own.
I think this must be the cheapest running 200t in the country!
I wasn't expecting much tbh but it not bad.
Snapped front spring but that's ok as I've a set of cooksports on order.

Here she is when I picked her up.
Filthy throughout with dull paint.

Got her back home and started removing the moss and crap off her.

Looked a bit better after a wash. But it really needs a full detail. I'll fire up the porter cable soon!.
It's tatty so will need a bit of paint and the car needs general love.
Mods wise . Its got a ktec induction kit and a center silencer chop.
Yellow stuff pads on vented and groove discs. Lowered but they will be swapped out in the next week or so.
Loving it so far tho. Makes a great noise and when your not in the mood shove it in auto.
I may be a MK4 convert!

How cheap is cheap? I've not kept an eye on prices of these since selling mine. I'd love another MK4 tbh

Looks decent, how much did you give for it?

I was offered a 14reg one in ly for £4500 a couple of weeks ago. Was tidy too.

Got it for 4500. Was the cheapest I could find down here.
The next cheapest was 4800 and that was a cat s

They have really dropped on prices! I thought mine was a reasonable price at near 10k not far off 2 years ago. I really like them, one of the best all round RS Renaults I've owned. The flame red is a really good colour too when fresh (reminds me mine needs a proper clean and polish again soon)

They make so much sense for a daily. I think they’re brilliant.

Donny_Dog · 2025-02-21T06:54:04+0000

What are they like for tax, mpg and so on?

Tax is £210 for 12 months if paid direct debit. £200 in full.

Online says 37mpg average.

The way mine gets driven its low 30s over all circa 50miles a day, half driven on cruise control the other with total disregard for fuel economy. Will do 40 on a gentle run. Do a track day and its be in the teens to low 20s (I do have a hybrid turbo on)

I've been looking at your thread buddy.
The android auto id definitely my first big mod.

I loved mine, was a great daily for 3 years.
I remember when the 197/200s started to dip below the £5k mark years ago and it was pretty mad, no suprise that a few of these are popping up in that price bracket. I paid £12k in 2021!

Poopensharten · 2025-02-21T13:28:25+0000

Really surprised on the praise they get, don’t ever remember them being well received on here when they came out!

Are they reliable?

Great looking car and amazing price you have paid! I miss mine and would have another in a heart beat. i absolutely loved it and the way it drove and looked.
Has yours got the lux pack? (Climate control and rear electric windows) if so you can program rs monitor yourself quite easily, only needs a laptop and a £15 adapter off Amazon. I think android auto can be added diy too. I managed it and I’m useless.
