Advice for buying a new clio

[RichCup]

Sister is wanting a new clio so we went to have a look at a few yesterday, pretty much decided on one but then it'd sold by the time she decided she wanted it lol.

Was just wondering what sort of price she should be looking at and if anyone knows of any dealerships that have any in stock of a similar spec to the one below?

1.2 Dynamiquie (air con) - tce 100 engine
Flared arches
Bigger wheels (not those wolfrace shitters, the 16inch renault ones)
Panoramic roof (not a necessity)
Any colour other than red

The one we looked at was an 08 pre reg, 15 miles on the clock. Price was £8895 and they said they could chuck some tax, mats, fuel etc in with that which seemed like a decent price to me.

Anyone on here buy one of a similar spec but new? The dealer reckoned it'd be 10 or 11k!

Yer, with a 'good deal' a new 1.2 TCE dyn without the sunroof is about £10k.

PM if you want any deal prices. I've got some dCi 86 dynamiques in stock..

A jazz? :S

I really liked it, seems like a lot of car for the money! Nicer drive and feel than a corsa too.

Any Honda!

I wouldnt ever buy a new car never mind a Renault mate, the depreciation is shocking on Clio's tbh!

But if you're paying say 9k for a pretty much new one, even if it's only worth 4.5k 3 few years later you've still only lost 4.5k. She's had her current car (fiesta) from new which is now 6 years old, and I think she's probably lost about 4k or so on that. She'd have the clio for the same amount of time I bet, so depreciation isn't that big an issue.

I understand however, £4,500 is an awful lot of money these days tbh.

Id rather somthing 4 years old that i know is reliable and will run until the cows come home.

Then spend the £4,500 on a holiday to mexico lol

This is just me though, what can be said though, women like brand new shiny things lol

Yeh and the rents see 'old' cars as unreliable so that's a no no. Cheers for the advice anyway!
