Im always a bit stingy on the prices, but not by that much-
If you look at the price I put it at I said 10750 & then work your way down for the usual issues surrounding a MK1-
Remember Little Newms car was sold I THINK for around 10500-
that was Minter than Mint-
Remember we dont know...
Thing is- the mentality WAS I am missing out before-
Now its im doing well not to buy a car like that to save towards a house-
+ the government Tax Hikes
+ The price of Petrol
+ the price of Insurance ( GRP 20)
+ The price of Parts- MK1 front wing is more than £500 sobs....
Its not a nice...
You paid a high premium for the car, just as the market was / is about to nose dive-
Your looking at a very Niche Market at the moment-
Personally I would put it on EBay- You will 100% sell it for about 8.5/9k-
Not what you want to here- but it wont sell on PS-
If i were you I would...
Nice car- Pity everyone goes for those alloys-
there are only 2 alloys that go with the VEE-
The Trophy ones that James has or the Stil Autos on Arno Samimis car...

Its a pity im not buying another V6- 5 FTW- :)
12.5 cash would be harsh, & maybe thats a little OTT, but a sale is better than it sitting on the drive- they will become harder to sell when the tax changes as well-
To many people buy them who actually cant afford to run them....

You would be able to pick this up for 12500 Cash if you pushed the owner hard enough-
Especially if it stayed on PS for a while- the longer the phone doesnt ring...
You would get the cambelt changed for £750 if you harrassed renault enough-

Its a huge buyers market at the moment, your right in terms of value- however there will be somewhere, someone desperate to sell their vee because they cant afford to run it or keep it-
Depreciation is gradually zapping the residuals & the ol' credit crunch & petrol prices arent doing them any...
Theres only one colour to own & thats liquid yellow- All the others are pap-
Pity you wont find one- they are all top dollar-I wouldnt bother buying a MK1 now as you will always be wondering what the Mk 2 was like to drive-
If buying one is a must I would try to find a NON CAT D blue / red...
ive Changed to the older Mini Cooper S-
Its running around 265 HP- Which suprised my mate in his VVX 220 who I overtook the other day-

Ive just changed to a Mini Cooper S ( Yes I know people on here generally dislike them ) however-
Im running close on 260 HP - the tuner I use ALWAYS recommennds either V-Power or Tesco 99-
However it depends how your driving it ( This is irrepective of MPG differences)
If you cruise along all...
Gotta say those are superb photos & a cracking video to boot-
Just occasionally I miss the LY Vee & on a day like this crusing down a country lane or arriving down at the beach is hard to top....

Ive used that a few times on the vee ( the Acid yellow one) gives you an initial higher detonation & better acceleration- but gradually wears off-
Drive down to allington depot- Stick in the 107 RON tescos fuel & nitrox then drive your car-
Ferrari for the day.....

LOL this arguement will go round & round-
If you have the right map the ST is very fast-- but I agree with some of the comments above, the handling is load of monkeys Sp*nk -
Do miss the vee sometimes....
People that have a turbo car dont useually stop at just the chip- Its usually Air...
So there isnt a problem with the Economic climate if theres a German Car available-
Common Sense FTL-
Cars like this are a NICHE Market irrespective of the Economy-
With A refurb on the Alloys & a small bit of money invested in the paintwork & a good PC the car will fetch close to what the...
Money well invested me thinks- Plus the previous history of living at the only Pagani garage in the UK probably ensured it was cleaned properly with no Swirls!!!
Glad your enjoying the car-- See you at Buckmore --

If you call that Styling then you need new glasses-

People like you really make themselves look stupid, You dont any more help-
What part of Renault F1 Heritage does your megane have- ZILCH- So why use Renault 1- Just a couple of Halfords cheap F1 decals to cover the Shoddy paint work- Oh BTW there ten layers on the ST orange-
You destroyed a...
LOL spot the v6 haters- or are they secret lovers- I love how some people seem to who everything about them after they peered into one at a motor show or their ff shite got blown away by one-
My only comment would be with 17k wont be buying you the best- your paying top dollar- but not...
