I really hope it all works out. Let me know how its going. Do you ever visit the cartoday.com forums? Theres a guy on there who also has a 172 (Roastie). BTW, who did you speak to at Renault?

I know Cheyenne - he used to visit here a bit, and Anthony. They both work for Techline/aftersales. Cheyenne is the best guy to speak to - tell him I referred you, but hes very hard to get hold of. Anyway, good luck - keep us updated.

Keep the 16". What tyres do they have on?

Checklist: 1) Has it got petrol hehehe - obvious I know but..... 2) Does it turn over? If not and the dash lights go dim then its battery related. 3) Does everything else seem normal, it just turns and turns but never starts? Try your spare key. The transponder in your key might be...

Dude, I hope I havent thrown a spanner in the works here. I feel bad cos now Ive put all these doubts in your mind. I just didnt want your 172 experience to be a bad one. It probably isnt the same car. If you can get Renault to run the VIN, they can pick up the owner history as well. And if the...

Must have been May/June.

OK, the car I saw was also blue and had the same or very similar rims. At that time it had done 13000km. I was looking everywhere at the time over a period of 2 months. I first saw the car at Renault Sandton and was told it had been sold. Later I saw a blue one advertised at Premium Pre-owned in...

vice - just the normal rattles, buzzy exhaust (resonator replaced under warranty), knock from front suspension (sorted out by RenSA), fuel pump cover under back seat came loose and a lot of dust got in (replaced), plastic trim around windscreen came loose.

Thanks for all the feedback. I will contact them and find out what it will cost to ship to SA. Do members get a discount?

Sorry to sound so negative everyone, but if theres one thing Ive learnt over the years, it is to NEVER TRUST A CAR SALESMAN!

BTW - if it all checks out fine with the warranty, its a good idea to get an AA check done. If they pick anything up that needs fixing, you can always get them to drop the price to cover it.

Vice - is that the one from Honda Edenvale? If so, please be sure to call Renault HO - 011 607 7300 and ask them about the warranty before you commit. Last I heard when I bought mine is that they will no longer honour the warranty unless its bought privately or from a Renault dealer. Also...

BTW - the 206 cant compare and doesnt even come close. I drove my brothers one at the coast last weekend and I was disappointed. That sloppy, long throw gear shift is aweful and the plastic panels inside are terrible quality.

Yes, I like the blue. How much are they asking? Ask them if they have the original rims as well (if it was a demo, why does it have aftermarket rims?) I would also have a look around at whats available in AutoTrader before making a final decision - I got mine privately with only 6500 on the...

Went to their site and they have some cool stuff. Has anyone got any experience to share about their products? I wouldnt mind getting the 172 KTR/GAZ COILOVER SUSPENSION KIT and some strut braces, but would hate to get it all shipped over to South Africa if they arent that good. BTW, do strut...

viceroy, who did you get your insurance quote from? Mines with A&G and they fit Tracker for free and pay your subscriptions.

viceroy - go for it! It was the best decision I ever made. Give us some details - MK1 or 2, colour, mods etc. You said trade-in so I presume its from a dealer. Take it for a good hard drive first (or ask them if you can take it for the weekend) to check for the usual warranty stuff... exhaust...
