197 offers

[Timmay]

Anyone know where the best places to go might be - im seriously tempted now and in sept will have 3 years NCB so it may be an option.

Obviosuly dont wanna pay full list or any tips on haggling would be good

Buy a 2nd hand one.

So Pistonheads/AT/eBay/here etc etc

 

[Timmay]

reckon that would be much better than going new then dan?

 

[mini_nick]

I know where there could be a nice RB 197 R27 with 6500 miles, 57 plate, climate control, bi xenons and cornering lights etc for 13k

do you?

 

[mini_nick]

Yeah mine! although im not completely sure want to sell it, great car, just I dont like having all my money tied up in it. Let me know if your interested!

Of course, you'll save a fortune for only a few k miles.

Just depends how much you want a brand new one and how much money you have.

not got a lot of money - only got the flamer to sell so thought finance might be the best optino

a 10k bank loan might be too much

 

[mini_nick]

Well if you decide you want one let me know, its as new, tyres arent even particulary warn, got 5000 odd miles to go till its first service. not one mark on it

 

[stuno1]

Only one i would buy would be the F1 eddition...defo go second hand, I think people who buy new are crazy!

 

[mini_nick]

There you go! thats it...

 

[edde]

Have a search round the net and ask on the renault sport forum

 

[Timmay]

yeah was thinking that ed

nick that is pure sex -when were you thinking of selling?

 

[mini_nick]

Whenever really, im not in a rush to sell but would sell now if you wanted one now - its not advertised anywhere at the moment.

 

[Timmay]

tbh sept would be the earliest im thinking

 

[The_Pirate]

Id never buy a new Reno after seeing what the 197 done to the 182. Not even necesarily that but the fact that any new car you buy, soon as your name goes on that log book you have wiped £1000 off the value straight away!

Used cars ftw!

 

[richard1]

You'll be waiting til October now if you order a new one anyway!

 

[mini_nick]

Ok cool let me know if your still interested then, I dont do many miles so itll only have done 8/9k then

Nick

 

[Timmay]

will bear that in mind nick

cheers for the info guys

 

[Darren S]

Stick with what you've got, imo - those Flamers are rare!

[fuel_slut]

Just walk into a Renault show room and say 'Clio 197, talk to me'. They will of course not have a clue what a 197 is! ha ha FAIL.

 

[stuno1]

I get this all the time, i always know more than dealers about my car, whether it is my MPS, my VRS or whatever...car salesmen are generally crap...

 

[Timmay]

yep
