I used to be a trader many years ago (boo hisssss) and my advice would be just cause it says private in the advert dont assume its so
i know guys who used to plan activities for when a viewer ariived i.e Be painting the house, eating your tea, just arrived back from work they r all to make it...
Good choice m8 u wont regret it i havnt (well ok ive only had it a week but but i dont regret it so far )
And as for your other half shell soon come round when u r leaving most other cars standing at the lights!)
Iam from near manchester but everyone one here seems to be miles away can someone do a servey (vote) i.e South , north etc....
would be interesting to know were most of u guys r from and if anyone else is near me !!!!!
Cheers ill double check
But how will they know were its from cause it was uk registered and when i gave the chasis number no reg came up cause its a non eu import
probably a dumb question but if it is now registered at renault uk maybe they may not bother to check its origin ?
Dont know much about standard alarm but on mine there r two ways to arm it
1 Press button 1 and it arms with noise and flash
2. press buton 2 and it arms silently
do u have more than 1 button ?
mine was fitted after i bought the car and yes it locks the doors its a ant-hijack feature...
If they are all so close it maybe worth considering value which one will be worth more when you come to sell it maybe the newer model will still be a fairly new shape But to be honest as a new clio owner the other guys would be better suited to tell u which model seems to hold its value best ...
Ok thnx guys ill probably just take it a bit easy from now on i havent been going mad but have had the odd manic moment though ! (only on 325miles so far hope i havent caused any damage.)
As for warranty andrewm i got an import and then rang renault uk they said no problem full 2 years...
Do i need to run my 172 in or is it done on the bench b4 i get it?
The book says dont go above a certain amount of revs and a top speed is this necessary ?
( hope not i went over both on way back but have kept it staed since )
Also i bought an import and rang renault uk to ask about...
Might be worth getting a snooper or other it could save u points and a packet m8 !
I know they dont work on all police traps but they seem to work on many
Just got a 172 import were do i stand on the warranty ?
will any dealer honour it ? Do i have to ring to register it ?
It has full uk spec and was registered in uk
I had recently posted a few times asking various newbie questions but got some good feedback so i have just picked up my new sport 172 in black and i have driven lots of cars in the past i used to work in a garage as a valetor and have never driven such a powerfull exciting car
just got...
They r giving me the trimming i.e. spec wise but just say that they cant garantee the warranty will be honoured by main dealers but they say it may be ?
I could take out a further warranty nearer my home if i wanted and still save money
what do u think i just want to make sure iam not...
Bought a new (imported but uk registered) 172
the car has ebs (traction control) and a six cd changer but i thought u only got a changer on a uk model ?
this may sound crazy but iam having it green flag tested b4 i buy although its new
its costing £12100 and they say the warranty is only...
thnx m8 that is very helpfull and will help me make a decision
iam not too bothered about the 0-60 loss on the lux version and it has abs which may come in handy at those speeds anyway
do imports loose much value quicker ?
ok i have decided not to go 4 the second hand 172 but.....
do i buy a new 172 cup (£11445) or 172 cup climate (+£600)(£11895) or just 172 (+£1200 abs, 4 airbags and cc)(£12495)
all above prices include £300 extra for metalic black
so many choices god damm !
oh and can u take out the cd...
