GP edges it over a 200 for me, but a brand new clio 200 for the same price..... i recon the 200 woud be the best choice for u piers. if u can get one for circa 14500 with the essential options i recon it will still be worth 10k in 3 years probably what the gp would be worth in the same time frame.
Exactly dude (Price wise)
Sorry guys but you don't have to look too far to see that the GP Works or even a well spec'd Works will still be worth a bit more than a second hand 200 even IF the 200 has the 'right' options and is two or three years newer..

Granted there are only two for sale on PH just now but if they can knock them out for a touch under 15k new is saying something, considering the RRP is nearer 17k or more if you go for the FF version with all the toys.
I paid 14,250 for my R27 brand new, list was 17,250, i got 3k straight off the showroom price without too much bother at all...i got 12k back for it two years later, if i'd kept it another six months i don't think i would've got much more than 10 for it, its fact, the RS cars drop like stones because they are fairly 'niche' when compared with the more 'main stream' hot hatches i.e the Civic Type R, the Fiesta ST etc...you say to someone that doesn't really know much or have much of an interest in cars, yeah i've got a Clio R27, 99% of people won't know what you're talking about, rarity isn't always a good thing in the case of the RS cars, due to less people knowing what they are can make them less desirable IMO.
