10k cant find a good 200

[paul]

been on the look out for a while now, obviously need to get rid of what i have px being easier and less hassle but cant seem to find a good 200 for 10k still, obviously can spend more but thats the easiest trick in the book.


thought they would have come down by now, finding a 2-3 yr old 182 wasnt that hard

under 20k / pretty good spec / not been abused.

half i look at seem to be in worst nick than my 7 yr old 182 (i know im fussy but when spending that kind of money it should be pretty good)

 

[182michael]

try 197.net mate they have a few in the for sale section atm

 

[paul]

will have a look thanks

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

This guy has a couple of good one's.

The alien green is around 40k but it's fairly well specced (if you add the recaro's from his other one) and he does actually seem to be an enthusiast who knows about Renaultsports which is a good start!!

 

[paul]

thanks but my 182 on;y has 31k i wouldnt entertain having something with those miles

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

40k is nothing!!!

I would rather have a car that actually gets driven than one that sits there everyday as the parts need to be moved and things lubricated. :banghead:

 

[Bluebeard]

Wow, 40k, such high mileage....

40k and looked after by an enthusiast, or 10k and driven to the shops and back by Doris and never warmed up.

Tough choice.

 

[VIICarCare]

You getting rid of the 182 Paul?

 

[paul]

trying to, but 10k including mine doesnt seem to be getting me a good one with out traveling around the uk lol

 

[VIICarCare]

tbh, i dont think youll find what you want for your budget.

would you consider a high spec 197 with change from £10k? or does it have to be a 200?

 

[Ed.200]

Auto trader has a few, but it depends what you want, recaros will be more, FF will be more.
Same goes for colour and things to. I just had a quick search found

Off Autotrader £11K http://www.gilescooperautomotive.co...tsport-200-cup-in-north-hertfordshire-2268898

Same place I got mine, there is a guy here who works for them, same branch iirc http://www.jct600.co.uk/brand/Renau...etails/renault-clio-bradford-yf59gzy-18665358

Bit of the old charm on as well.
Does depend on what you want, and how far you will go, I live down south and got mine from Bradford, so yeh heck of a journey, but I aint looked back on it yet!

 

[R-Sport.]

to be fair 10k is a bit thin....

S

 

[Martin_172]

i wouldnt be letting millage dictate your purchase look at this... http://www.arnoldclark.com/used-car...enaultsport-200-3dr/2011-(61)/ref/arncz-8173/

13,000 miles, full service history.

what they forgot to add onto the advert is the fact its on its 2nd engine and even that isnt fitted properly.

 

[ben81]

Wait a few moths till the mkIV comes out :rasp:

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

For 10k you will struggle to beat that AG i posted. Add the Recaro's that he's happy to do a deal on and it would be a well specced FF 200 owned by an enthusiast rather than a boggo spec low mileage car.

 

[Sir_Dave]

thanks but my 182 on;y has 31k i wouldnt entertain having something with those miles

Why in goods name are you thinking of part-ex for it then, surely its worth £4.5-5k easily?

Ive been keeping an eye on 200's lately & feel that whilst £10k will get you a nice one now, give it 6 months and thy'll be down to £8k

Re: the AG one, i think its Tom Blackmore (Divine Detailing) selling it - he'll be racing in the clio cup next year iirc ...

 

[.GAZ.]

I'd rather have a R26 and £4k in the bank.

 

[bmit]

FWIW My 197 didn't start to loosen up till about 30k

 

[Martin_172]

im with gaz, R26 and 4k in the bank however if a 200 is the car you want then id go with sir_dave and ben81, wait till the mk4 comes out!

 

[Stefan.]

200's are horrible looking i would personally keep your 182 or the 197 r27

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Great spec! Nav is difficult to find with Recaros as well.

 

[.GAZ.]

That Satnav unit bugs the life out of me lol.

 

[Munson]

Sorry if it's already been mentioned, but are you the Paul with the concours 182Cup? As in, nut and bolt clean?

If so, I wouldn't be trading that it in. You're more likely to find an enthusiast willing to pay extra for it, I would think? Whereas part exchange you'd just get book value.

 

[Chapppers11]

The car is fully valetted once a week and was recently treated with a clay bar. [/QUOTE]

Ah treated was it? Valeting FTL.

Great spec though.

 

[EllD90]

Shame it's had 4 owners.

Yup, he's the one who polishes and paints his exhaust when it looks dirty.

 

[yeecup]

pmsl. ^^^^ !!! if i was spending 10k on a car it sure as hell wouldnt be a clio

 

[.GAZ.]

Paints the inside of his wheels too lol.

 

[Chapppers11]

What would it be then?

 

[yeecup]

e46 m3, hawkeye sti impreza, r33 skyline. off the top of my head.

 

[Chapppers11]

Which one out of those will still be in warranty, hasn't been driven in anger by Leeroy on the estate and is as 'fun' as a Clio?

Horses for courses.

 

[yeecup]

i forgot, clio 200's are only driven by mature enthusiates. :dead: just saying for 10k a clio isnt where my money would be going. but thats for another thread. its up to the op what he does with this cash. i like the 200's, they get great reviews, doubt its any more fun than my ph1 though.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Paul, what kind of condition was your 182 when you bought it? immaculate or just clean and you did the rest?

 

[Advikaz]

Look privately or @ R sport cars.

I find most stealership used 200's tend to be ex PCP & POV spec to the max!
