Hi guys, new here!
I'm looking at buying my first 197, and have researched them over the past 2 weeks or so...so not very long and I need some advice. There are 2 models I'm looking at the moment, a 197 cup & a 197 R27 F1 edition. The 197 cup is through a dealer and the R27 is private....I'm currently siding on the dealer because of the gear box issues I've read about and don't want to get stung later on down the line. I also noticed that the R27 has had a change of plates a few years ago, apparently belonging to a Megane. Any reason why this is done? I can only think of negative reasons to be honest....
The cup has 16k less miles on the clock and has a FSH, where as the F1 R27 doesn't have the FSH which I'm worried about. (& the change of plates).. It has a years M.O.T on it though and work has been done at registered Renault dealers which is good.
For someone who doesn't know jack about going to view a car, & what to look out for when picking on up have you got any advice on what to do & the issues mentioned above.
Thanks in advance!
