Just found a pre-reg 197 with Climate control, Xenon, 4 speaker CD player and Sunroof for £14120 at www.autoebid.com. It seems to be cheaper than alot of other places. Has anyone used them before and any comments?

It is 6-8 weeks delivery according to them.

Reason I'm going for the 197 is just cos I like to have new things.:eek: Did consider a 225 hatch but just can't afford the cost over the period of ownership.

Who cares, warranties cost £200.

I agree, but megane225 prices are all over the place, they aint easy to sell, never mind if theyre a non EU import. I would happily have a parrallel import. Also when you allow for the fact that a broker can supply one (also ph2 not a ph1) for that kind of money (UK supplied) then it makes motorpoint look expensive. Also motorpoint have the less desirable colours.

Are you 100% sure the 225's from motorpoint are cypriot imports admits ? I'm not doubting your word , just wondered where you got the info from ?

Tbh the salesmen at motorpoint don't know their arse from the elbows .When i got my 182 from motorpoint in February they said i had 24 months warranty and no AA assistance . When i phoned Renault UK they said i had the full 3 years warranty and 3 years AA cover , when i say full , i mean minus 3 months for each because of when it came into the country .

I've seen the 225's slightly cheaper on the net than motorpoint , i was just using their prices as an example of what you can save over dealership prices .

Personally I would never spend that on a Clio, Could get a 2-3 year old Saab 93 2.0t AERO for that

I would rather have a hot hatch than an old mans saab though tbh ;)

Yeah but them 93 2.0turbo Aero look great from the outside with the part bodykit and go like s**t of a stick, There more of a sporty car then the average Saab which I agree is an old mans wagon like the 95 diesel Estate

Do you mean the 197? The lanuch date is 18th July but dealers should be having their demonstrator soon if its not arrived already. I am booking my test drive for next week as soon as the garage gets the car.

£13,999 for a 225 Cup. For me, choosing between that and a 197 would be a no-brainer.

Nor me. There's no way on earth I'd get the 197 as it's highly debatable as to whether it's any improvement on my car or not. I just can't afford to lose that kind of money again just for the new car feeling. Now new car feeling, decent seats for a tall guy, an arm rest, cruise control and 222 bhp chippable to 265, now THAT might be worth losing all that money for :)

Cyprus is in the EU.

I think admits is gettin a bit confused , lol . But he is right about Cypriot imports not having the full 3 year warranty , also cars sourced from Holland only have 12 months warranty . Don't ask me why , thats what Renault UK say if you phone them .

Nice! I hope you've opted for blue mirrors though!

I'll be doing the same come December. I'm still umming and arring between the Meg 225 / Fiesta ST.

IF the 197 prices come down by then, I may consider it too.
