I hope I don't add to your woes but recently I went to pick up a 197 and Virgin double charged me for the journey and I have been waiting three months and still no refund. You've had your share of bad luck so I hope it works out for you.
Marv, being 40+ too is the reason I went standard, just don't think the decals work at my age. My seats are very comfortable with adjustable height and lumbar support. I managed to get mine (57/12k) for £10,500 withtax and tankfull so shop around. I would expect only the main dealer to offer the...
Lucky escape I reckon apart from the rail fare. Anybody who behaves in this manner was probably less than honest when you were discussing details about the car. Probably realised he had been a fool and couldn't face someone travelling so far to be let down.
I don't get this colour thing, colour is the last thing on my mind when I'm behind the wheel of my 197.
Then again I'm such a shortarse I cant see the bonnett anyway.
Op, your 200 is simply beautiful. I'm very jealous.
A rather biased opinion but here's the recommendation from a 46 year old 197 owner. Life is short, woefully so. It's better to say I'm glad I did rather than wish I had.
I picked up a 57 plate 197 with 12 on the clock for 10.5 and it really is in the mintest condition I can imagine. Shop around.
I know stuff all about cars so I won't argue the merits of power/speed of one over another. However, having seen literally hundreds of BMW mini drivers I have to say that I am glad I don't fall into that dynamic.
Sorry no. Since I had my car (7 weeks) I have seen only two Clio 197's and both were LY's around Brum. Back in Worcester tonight though on the pop!
Will keep a look out for you from now on.
46 here in a 197. Yes I could have a Beemer or an Audi but then I'd be like my work colleagues, old before their time. I spend 40 hours a week acting grown up so what's wrong with having a bit of fun in a 197 regardless of age. If anybody wants to buy me a new car, tax it, insure it and pay the...
I think what you are seeing here is some rswipe who is selling an identical item bids yours through the roof to make their own listing more intersting and deprives other interested parties from getting it. They reduce the availability so much that theirs becomes one of the few options available...
An hour ago I reverse my Red 197 off my drive in Rednal Birmingham and stall it right in the middle of the road. Took me half a minute to get it going again but what car am I holding up coming the other way? a nice RB 182 ( I think) with stripes. Sorry pal, my bad.:o
