as above - get settlement figure - dealer doesnt need to know cos agreement between you and Reno Financial Services
dont hand it back, settle and sell!
swapping a 182 interior for a dynamique interior saves a scant 20kg is this really worth it?
done for cost saving, not weight - the dynamique interior looks OK, but is VERY cheap!
BRILLIANT - even works for Diesels!
0-60 are within a fraction of a second!
85BHP standard = 11.66 (11.6 tested in diesel car)
100BHP chipped = 10.01 (10.5 is official 100BHP figure)
Ive got 17s and lowered springs on a 12 month old car
no probs - Reno fixed creak coming from suspension turret, replaced a drive shaft and valeted it for NOWT!
^^ wealthy? 100+ guzzles the fuel - 15/20mpg??
@ 20mpg £3500p.a. on fuel alone :o
(my dCi does nearly 40mpg @ 100)
40 miles on the motorway - Id want summat bigger (defo longer wheelbase)
and Id drive @ 99 - latest laser camera technology soon to be introduced include night vision infra...
If they dont make a PROPER D-Sport...........
......... Im buying a crashed Fab VRS to cannibalise with a Clio shell
170BHP 6 speed chipped turbo D pulling only 980kg instead of 1280! :D
larger than the current car, but also offer greater refinement and luxury.
did we buy Clios for this reason?
so customers can expect keyless entry and starting, as well as rain-sensing wipers and automatic headlights. Options will include air-con and satellite-navigation.
have got or can...

even Main Dealers will haggle on service
my locals: Northampton £199, MK £199, Aylesbury £185
up north loads cheaper, so haggled with Service Manager @ Aylesbury
"I can get the same much cheaper (£130 best quote in Birmingham) if Im prepared to travel, but Id much rather TRUST my local...
P.S. Motorpoint Finance is dear + admin extras.
I got 3.6% from a Reno Dealer and got within £300 of an import!
it wasnt a 182, but it WAS £1200 off list with only a total of £300 in finance charges for 6.5K of finance (i.e. TOTAL BOTTOM LINE price to pay over 2 years)
£9800 for an 11K car...
looks cool Tom
the number plate market is so fickle that making big bucks is luck
the nerd that bought mine (a dealer) forget to return his half of the change the ownership to extend the retention and lost the use of it!!
worthless piecce of plastic after that!!
I bought this for £500:
[PO51 USA]
to re-sell at a profit (valued @ 2K the day I bought it!)
but bought it just a week before 9/11, so posing about being American was not so cool after that

...........£500!
the misses used to have a Xsara 1.8 16V VTR coupe (rare cos VTS spec. and almost as expensive new - we bought half price with 10K miles!)
and we were frequently told that it:
"didnt exist!!"
or
"you can only get a 1.6 or 2.0"
Nice but you forgot the three and a half k you put in up front. Where did that come from!? And what else might you have done with it? JAF
just looked at figures again:
even if I had bought say a Clio Diesel for £3500 (perhaps an S plate last June), the running costs would still have been...
