182 for £10,995

[evy84uk]

Just rang up my uncle who works for Renault to see wot the price was on the 182, friends and family plan....

26% off

10,995

Crazy price or wot???

 

[Tom]

<<<< Yup.

 

[Lee]

I paid less.

 

[Tom]

Did you?

 

[telford_mike]

Out of interest, what qualifies as a friend under this scheme?

 

[evy84uk]

Howd ya manage less??

Import?

 

[Lee]

Yes, I got 30% off. I paid less than that with Metallic paint, Cup spoiler/splitter and cup suspension.

From a main dealer. The sales guy reckons the staff are snapping them up with that sort of discount.

 

[Dansta]

how lee?

 

[evy84uk]

Well my Uncle said they are trying to tighten up on the Friends and Family scheme..

although the sales manager was happy to sell the car to my girlfriends sister?? how much distant can u get?

Although he is only aloud 2 a year

you should check out http://www.thecarpeople.co.ukwww.thecarpeople.co.uk supposedly very cheap on there too.

 

[CUP80Y]

At the end of the day a sale is a sale even if some of them are sold at a lower price.

Renault know that a lot of these sales wouldnt happen if people had to pay full price - they would be more likely to buy something else instead without the monetary incentive.

Great deals guys and good luck.However it does make you realise how much they are making out of us.

There should be ban on mentioning F&F on this forum. Your just making me jealous!

 

[m_darby]

how long do you have to keep the car if bought on this scheme. if thee is no time you could sell them on here.



when i bught a ford under a similar scheme it was 9 months.

 

[Guesty182]

[mxfuk]

Thank god Im an impulsive person and went and did it all on Monday.

 

[bigmouk]

If they can give this discount to F&F why in all the posts can no-one get one for less than 13,500 from a main dealer ? Obviously they have more of a margin to play with, must be something to do with commision i guess ??

 

[Westy]

Im getting 30% on F&F scheme till end of May

Spoiler pack, suspension pack, and uprated speakers/6 cd changer £10,830

 

[saxo2clio]

I got mine for less that 13500 from a main dealer without friends and family discount.

Metallic, cup suspension, cup spolier and CD Autochanger for 12900.

I got offered £13,400 from a dealer so there quashes your statement lol!

I also got mine on F&F but "only" got 18%. Supaguard free tho for what its worth.

 

[hardsoulwax]

Ive just ordered a 182 with black gold mettalic paint, cup suspension and spolier and paid £13,144.

Not a bad deal really and thats from a standard dealer with no F&F discount.

Best thing is though that Im having the one that was sitting in the show room and picking it up this friday!!!!!

 

[Dyewitness]

How come the f&f price varies? my uncle works for http://www.dixonmotors.co.ukwww.dixonmotors.co.uk and i am awaiting a quote, been told to expect 22%, how come its as high as 30%?

 

[Lee]

I dont know if this is correct or not, but apparently Renault owned dealerships are able to offer a better price than franchise dealers.

 

[Black Fox]

Figure Ive seen for this month is 26% for 182s. Dont know where people are getting 30% from.

 

[Lee]

Ive just got my order form out, added the figures and deducted 30% and it works out perfectly. 30% it is from Renault Birmingham. I believe Wolverhampton, Solihull and one more around here do the same price.

 

[dk]

will tom do his job and delete this thread (or lock it like he has every other thread today!) as I am getting REALLY jealous of this 30% business

 

[Lee]

So is Tom.

 

[bigmouk]

What stops people who can get F&F discount buying the car themselves for 11k then selling it for 13k-14k themselves ... EASY MONEY !!

 

[Dansta]

u have to keep your car for a certain amount of time at least. 6-9months

 

[bigmouk]

So you have to sign a contract of some sort?? What if you had cash problems and needed to sell the car ? .. or decided you didnt like the car ? You cant ??

 

[Lee]

I think its more a case of you can sell it if you want, but you cant get another one. Staff are restricted to a limited number of cars per year.

 

[Tom]

You cant sell it for 6 months

 

[dk]

how exactly would they know though?

 

[cris]

Im on my 2nd f&F discount car now and you can sell the car when ever you want, i mean ive had my current 172 for just 6 months now and i made an order for 182 last friday for 11,600 inc vat with the cup suspension/blackgold/sat nav (30% discount). The 30% discount on the F&F is for the 182 only!!!, prob mangers+ only can get it for that price. Also if you are getting F&F you gota order your 182 soon as this is a limited offer only and the clause is that the car has to be registered in the uk by end of June, so in theroy if every1 ordering one these (and ppl are cause they can sell it on to make money) the waiting list will increase thus leaving you less time from now to order 1, so prob you may want to order 1 by end of week to get it on time.

 

[cris]

Also i can get a 53 plate v6 for 17k from a dealer in northampton!!!

 

[Dansta]

with satnav!?feckin hell

 

[cris]

its a ba*tard i cant get the cup spoiler with it though cos of the sat nav

 

[Dansta]

can u have the cup splitter on its own?
