It depends on the car though, maintenance and to some respects luck. Its a lottery. And i went for the safe, boring option lol

Same experience I've had with cars like that I'm afraid. You may be lucky to get a good one. But things go wrong on even previously well maintained luxury cars so its a bit of a lottery. I just didn't want to take that chance if the Mrs and kids were using it all the time. I would rather take...

I've got experience of this unfortunately. The bmw I had was about the same age when I got it and it cost a fortune. My bro bought a used cls out of warranty and it cost a fortune when things went wrong. All the ecus started failing...

Nah I think the I.D Flame red looks better than a flat white every time. If anything the flat, non pearl/metallic white looks like the cheap budget option.. But everyone is different.

Did you not see the link I posted earlier from Autotrader? I found exactly the same spec of Kadjar that I got but a 19 plate and 14k miles on it. Put in the exact same terms on a pcp deal as it had depreciated to £14k! and it was £75 more per month than what Im paying for a brand new car? Why...

So enthusiasts aren't allowed to have families or other cars? :LOL::ROFLMAO:

I suppose we all have different priorities and that's ok. I bought a car as a new family workhorse for the Mrs and kids. If it was just me driving it or I was driving it more I would have got something that I look for more from a car. But I still love looking on Auto trader to see what bargains...

Well spotted. I was wondering what u were on about.

Cheers guys. I would really like the audi but I've been there and done it with older German cars. Yes it's much more premium than the Renault but it would be wasted on the kids and the mrs who isn't really into cars. Plus as said above the maintenance on this would be well above what I'm paying...

For all the doubters saying I've paid too much I've got a challenge for you. Find a new kadjar in the same spec I got mine with the same mileage etc and you may have a point. But I can't find it. And I've been looking for the best deals on this for 6 months..

I don't need any reassurance and I think I've made the right purchase for what we need the car for which is all that matters. And I don't mind people saying it's crap or they don't like things about it but some people just like shitting on other people for the sake of it and it's not needed.

Cheers. At last someone seeing it from my perspective. But I do realise everyone has got different tastes and uses for every car they buy..

Cheers like I said it's for the mrs to drive mainly to cart the kids about. She likes it so that's all that matters. The paint is actually the I.d paint which is more expensive that the poverty white you get as standard. It's not my idea of a fun car I would buy for myself but it serves its...

My Point exactly. This is the cheapest Kadjar in the spec I've got on Autotrader. Worth only £14k after just over a year... (Ouch) If I put the same deposit in as I paid changed the term to 2 years and put it up to 12k miles a year then it is £70 a month dearer than what I have got plus its a...

I had looked at used pcp deals but they worked out at a higher monthly figure for the same deposit on less miles a year.

Cheers. I've already warned the mrs that if she kerbs any alloys or scrapes anything then she is paying for it.. Also I could have paid less of an upfront cost and paid 300 a month for it so its all relative. Also my mother in law got the smaller base spec capture as a used car on pcp and is...

Yeah I think we are in similar situations. I love cars and I have always done. And I think I did quite a selfless thing buying something that the mrs could drive around with the kids even though its not my idea of a fun or exciting car. But now it just gives me the excuse to buy something I want...

Thanks RustyMojo. That was the point of this thread but I guess it is lost on most people. I was actually saying to the Mrs last night that I wanted a new car for myself. As I've bought a practical family car for her then it means I can buy something impractical for myself :D Anyway by new I...

Is it condensing? 😂

#winning at life

Yeah I suppose that's a fair point. Will just need to be careful.

😂😂😂😂 The reason I bought it was for hopefully trouble free motoring for 2 years. But I get your point about the scuffs and dents. I'll just need to be paranoid about it and watch where I park it 👍

I realise that the initial deposit was high. But I had the money and wanted a lower monthly payment. Anyway thanks for the positive comments. I'm not saying its a car that will set a car enthusiast's heart alight but it serves a purpose as a family transportation device. Anyway I'll make sure I...

Thanks Daz 😂😂 at least one positive comment. Means that you probably hate the rest of it but I'll take it 😂😂

OK I guess that's your opinion 😂👌

OK ill make sure I only post on here when I get a porsche. Its a Renault clio forum ffs. People need to get a grip and a reality check.

No i don't mind constructive criticism but being nasty for the sake of it is a different matter.

Ive had fast cars and hot hatches just like everyone else on here. It may not be the most exciting thing in the world but like I said it fits our needs..

Yeah thats the reasoning behind it for me as well. I suppose as Daniel said the world would be boring if everyone liked the same thing...

Looks like you can only post new cars in this forum if they are hot hatches or 100k supercars.. Also if the moderators are leading the slagging then it says it all..
