197 F1

[brotherbern]

Good morning. My Local Renault dealer has a 197 F1 with 1700 miles on the clock and is trying to sell for £16995.00. Which, is only £300 or so less than the new price. It's in mint condition, but I haven't been able to speak to them yet to see if it's ex-demo. What do you think it's worth? :dapprove:

Have a look

do you live in taunton??

i live in yeovil, might have a look if im in taunton one day

must be an ex-demo though? not really worth £16995?

I would ask what number it is. If its no 1-10 I personally would leave it well alone as it may be one of the demo's Renault give out to people like topgear etc. And we all know wot they do to cars

dont know bout price, the list on that car would have been £18900 or somewhere round there, and I know Renault dont normally drop the price by much for the R27's. Didnt drop a lot on mine

 

[brotherbern]

I certainly do live in Taunton. Thanks for the advise, I will pop in and see what number it is.
Anyone else from Taunton on here?

Are they group 15 insurance? 172/182's are 16 aren't they.

 

[brotherbern]

Hey Shindig - What miles does it have on the clock?

£2k off list price minimum I'd want.

If its a early one when it was 'broken in' at the Bedford Autodrome during a RS trackday, so stay away.

Avoid ex-demo's, been shown how they drive the cars when they get to take them home, not kindly!

Often the less problematic cars are the demo ones which are ragged.

Everybody i've ever sold one of my Ex-Demo's to have had no problems at all with the cars. Weird isn't it....

Just the way it always is they love the hammering.

Goes with all the owners as well.

Not really, it's how you bed an engine in properly (thrashing it from new, not cold mind you)
