anyone ever bought a cliosport at wilsons in epsom,surrey?

[shaun_cliosport]

was thinking of going up there today seen a nice 54plate 182 ff for 10999 just wondered if anyone ever been there and had problems

 

[Cupster]

Before I got mine I went there and was shocked at the prices and condition. i.e. 53 plate Blue 172 Cup, near bald front tyres with kerbage, big scratch through the passanger door and quarter, 18K up for £9000

I got my rarer silver 53 plate cup with cc, pukka tyres, a years tax, 12.5K and no dents or scratches for a G less from another dealer. Not a Renault dealer but none the less....

Avoid is my advice but worth a look if they are local get some test drives

 

[shaun_cliosport]

yeah only trouble is there not local as im from southampton and would take me at least an hr and half drive to get there! theres no decent 182's out there for sale within 20 miles for me at the moment so have to maybe be looking further away

 

[girl182]

NO! dont go there! LOL! rip offs - they are probably pre-reg too, ask em.

not that there is a problem with pre reg but i was gonna get one from there and masters in shirley were a lot cheaper and better service.

WILSONS of Epsom are absolutely shite !!!

I would never buy a car from them again, let alone deal with them for any warrenty work etc.....

If your looking at Renault dealers in this area i advise you to go to Croydon (coulsdon branch) they were top notch actually.

 

[shaun_cliosport]

they want 10999 for 54plate 182 seems alot and doubt id be able to knock em down! inc part ex for my 2001 vts with low milage

 

[girl182]

Yeah i got my 206 brand new from Wilsons in 2001 and they charged loads for the services, and i needed tyres one day and they said £71 per tyre, and at an independant tyre place they wanted £36. Also, I stood in the showroom for about 10 mins being ignored by the sales staff. And, the bloke that owns it is a c()ck too, dont give him ur money.

 

[shaun_cliosport]

nah im fooking the idea of now,besides like my dad said to me not worth going that far like if i did buy it and something went wrong etc!

 

[girl182]

something will come up mate! dont worry

 

[shaun_cliosport]

have seen another at a family owned renault garage in farncombe bit closer to me than the epsom carsales,silver 182 ff 54plate 3700 miles going for 11k? low milage but not sure if price is right?

 

[girl182]

could knockem down a bit, even if its 10.5

 

[Alan]

I paid 11k for my uk spec full fat brand new!

 

[Andy.1.2-16v]

I wouldn't touch Wilson's with a barge pole, once they have your money from you they don't give a sh*t about you, I had so much trouble getting warrenty work done from them 2 weeks after picking the car up, they refused to touch it until I threatened them with trading standards, utter w*nkers imo, plus the parts department don't know their arse from their elbow.....

As has been said before go to Renault Croydon in Coulsdon....

 

[Cupster]

....the way they park there cars on the forecourt is enough to make you walk away!!

 

[shaun_cliosport]

why do garages price clios so much on the forecourt when there same price as what they were when they were brand new lol

 

[Rhino172]

2 of my mates work there it's wicked!

although I wouldn't rate the one in coulsdon either! took my car there a couple of times, rather nice young lady on the service desk and to be honest I think she knows more than the mechanics! pretty useless and again, over priced....

 

[Alex_225]

Went down there on Saturday to test drive Clio 182 as my missus is looking at buying one, only went there to look as its local!!!

Would NOT buy one from this garage in a millions years. They had a few RS Clios and none of them were ready to be sold, dented, wheels kerbed.

My girlfriends dad actually used to work their (accounts not sales) so she used to take her 106 Quicksilver to be repaired/serviced there. Total bunch of cowboys, the number of horror stories she heard about staff ragging cars etc etc

Avoid at all costs if I were you. Renault Croydon (A23) is a much better option in my opinion.

The Wilsons group own a lot of the dealerships in Epsom, not just the Renault ones or the ones marked with the name Wilsons!!!

 

[shaun_cliosport]

yeh im avoiding that place now full stop lol! just going to hang on and keep looking!

 

[GinandGasoline]

have seen another at a family owned renault garage in farncombe bit closer to me than the epsom carsales,silver 182 ff 54plate 3700 miles going for 11k? low milage but not sure if price is right?

it's been up for sale for ages - could be worth negotiating with hard on that price

 

[shaun_cliosport]

yes i know it has been up for sale for few months but dont think there drop to £10,500 if i could get it that low with that many miles and it being a ff version that would be a good price!?!

 

[Davey182]

Try Westover Renault in Bournemouth... I was there recently and they had a 172 and a trophy too (though that was £14K + )... worth a look as it's closer to southampton than some of the others.

 

[shaun_cliosport]

yeah am after a 182 tbh newer the better but will keep looking
