Alien green clio 200 @ ktec

[yeecup]

Spotted it for sale at ktec , was up on here at £7200, they have bought it and now a bargain at £9200. Hate how traders do this. Bet they didn't pay 7200 either.

You hate a trader making money on a car?

Don't buy anything from the supermarket from now on...

@Gus ?

People will pay for the warrenty and precieved piece of mind a dealer sale gives over a private one. You don't like it, shop else where. Simples.

Ok

 

[leeds_182]

I think the general idea of a trader is to make money to be fair.

They buy the car cheap and then sell it on.

 

[DrR]

Don’t see the problem? Nobody is forcing anyone to buy that car, they can sell it for whatever they want.

This was £10k in 2011.

This was £10k in 2011.

How much were they new?

 

[JamesBryan]

How much were they new?

Not sure exactly. I remember going to Renault in 2012 and speccing a storm grey one and it came to £19k iirc.

I'm waiting on a 18k 172 cup up for sale soon at Ktec.

@Gus ?

Knew it lol

Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Was driven by a right wanker. Thrashed everywhere, etc....

Good to know! Keeping a close eye on all the AG’s that are known cars.

Hoping to pick up a well looked after example towards the end of the year.

What you talking about, I kicked its tits in way before @Gus got his hands on it, Even Lindsay bounced it off the limiter ?

 

[Gus]

haha, Yeah that was my car. I'm not too fussed, Ktec will always inflate the price. It might even sell close to that price too as it was a cracking car. Trust me I didnt lose any money on this car.

It was a stunning car, In fact it was exceptional

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Seeing as @Gus owned it, it's probably one of the best out there!

their cars are expensive. do have some nice meganes. quite fancy a 265 cup or trophy as my main car.

 

[Martin_172]

They should sell it for what they bought it for, I'm not sure how they sleep at night.

 

[jamesycc]

That defeats the object of being a business then...

 

[mossyv6]

And looks like Gus's old AG has been sold by the way.

[Clio_fool]

As I said, people will pay for the dealer backup and warrenty. Its not like it was a shitter for the money!

That megg'd Silverstone that was on pistonheads was bought and raffled off. https://dreamcargiveaways.co.uk/competition-winners/page/14/

At least someone understood it ??

 

[Chris_Beer]

This whole thread vs 172 Cup 10k thread... bonkers

 

[yeecup]

Somebody was happy to pay the money. bit of polishing and it will be a 20k car

 

[jamesycc]

Fair enough.

Just didn't seem to have a sarcastic tone to it.

But seriously there actually people that think that's how it should be..

I was wondering what my car might be worth (for insurance purposes obviously 😉) so i Googled ‘alien green Clio’ and stumbled across this post… If DF59EHY was your car @Gus, I am the lucky guy who brought it from Ktec for that ‘over inflated’ price. And still own it to this day.

I actually love it more than my mother (she knows this) and still is my pride and joy. The day I got it I was on the A12 driving home and some guy in Lotus Exige pulled alongside and just smiled, nodded and gave me a thumbs up. At that point I knew then I had done the right thing. I’ve had lots of RS Clio’s over the years (including an epic 172 cup) but this is the longest I’ve owned, and it’s genuinely tragic how much I love it.

I’ve kept it in top notch condition and still looks as good as the day I got it… also credit to its previous owners I reckon. Treated it to a few bits and bobs over the years…new cup2’s, ktec remap/induction kit, wheel spacers and a suspension refurb…but it’s been faultless and looks the b****cks in my opinion. Drives even better than it looks.

Now on 72k and used regular it will never be a garage queen (although it sleeps in a garage at night) or be sold to anyone who wouldn’t drive it like it should be driven. Still rapid and handles like it’s on train tracks, in this day and age I genuinely don’t think I need a faster car for everyday… find the right road on a quiet cold day and I’m a driving God (well, when I’m on my own anyway).

Rare car now I think, never seen another out and about… one of 21 Cups in this colour I believe? Anyway thought you’d enjoy an update on an old friend and thanks for selling it. Oh and I couldn’t give a s**t what profit the dealer made on the car… I paid £2k and traded in a tatty white cup so think I got a bargain.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Lovely looking car mate 👍🏻
Will own an AG 200 at some point.

I had the pleasure of owning that car for about 2 years, Absolutely loved it! It had the best of everything -Akrapovic, Bilsteins, Recaros, Brembos, projectors, billet gear stick, Alcantara wheel, Cup2 tyres, Cup with aircon and the best colour out there - Alien green. It was a joy to own and drive. The suspension was a little firm for pottering around in but perfect for a quick blast on a weekend. Bet that car is worth a lot now.

Tbh perfect spec really.

I’m sure it’s still as awesome as when you owned it… think another guy had it between us but only for a short time. Your pics are amazing by the way, especially those taken at Blyton Park… did it see much track action when you owned it?

The current agreed value with my insurers is £10k but struggling to find any other cars to compare this to… any ideas if I should be updating this?

Glad to hear you loved the car as much as I do.

 

[Gus]

It was only at Blyton for the ClioSport Festival. It hadnt been on track at all in my ownership and dont think it had before me. £10K is probably the minimum, its a super rare car, especially as its a cup with Recaros and aircon.

@Gus Lindsay tracked the car , Well she drove it like it was on the track 😂
