hello, i need the help of you experts. i recently went into renault place at cambridge and was quoted 13+ for a 182 with both packs in met black, and that was with a £1000 discount (as they are trying to sell their remaining stock). thing is, i know there are cheaper deals out there. i did a search as i seem to remember a thread called "how much did you pay for your 182" but i couldnt find that. i have been in contact with barkers of preston but they arent a renault dealer. any ones help would be highly appreciated.

£11908.37p OTR and this will be a UK car, saving of £2778.63p !!
I doubt you will get better that carselect.
For a full Uk spec, 1st owner car, its a fantastic price.

<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #407db6">Can second that steveV6. I am due to get my 182 on Friday and paid outright, without a Lloyds TSB account which I think it says you need on their website. Service so far has been really good. Pity about the 8 week wait though!
cool, 8 week wait is nothing mate, think yourself lucky!!!!!
I got mine form lloyds too and they are fantastic

Why does it have to be a Renault dealer?
I think youll find the best deals arent from Renault.
That carselect price looks v good, but, it depends on when you want one, now, or 8-12 weeks.
yes, there is a reason why not.
From carselct you can get a UK car for £11900, for an import you will pay £11699 + OTR pricing, + alarm + security etching + having the car worth less at time of sale + not having the anthracite wheels + having to apply for the extra warranty + having to upgrade the suspension.
Im just not sure what the benefit of an import car is, correct me if I am wrong? Its going to cost you more to buy one in the first place so just cant see it???????
If we had had this conversation 3 years ago I would have been all for the import but times have changed!
Makro (Virgin) have a very good offer on 182, about £11600 I believe. Having bought an imported car recently I would not entirely recommend it, firstly there is a question over the warranty and when you come to sell it or trade it in you lose anything you gained. I also found that the maid dealers attitude over servicing etc was never that warm. The car in question was a 206 GTI.
Each to there own least I can see where your comming from.
Only thing is that Id definatly get coilovers for my next car anyway and the fact its worth less wouldnt be a huge concern since its not going to be more than I saved (probably). Applying for the extra warently isnt a huge issue, plus if I can get a better alarm fitted for the same price Renault chage Id be happer with a none Renault alarm.
Bit if the difference in achual cash price for an import Vs UK car is ~£200 it seems a waste getting an import. I;d go for an import if the saving was more.
I also see where you are coming from Edde but the price isnt any different when you add the OTR costs of the import like £165 road tax, preparation fee etc brings it up to the 11900 for the uk car, but then you havent got an alarm so that will be extra cost so in this case the uk car is actually cheaper when you look at OTR. Plus, I would prefer to pick my own spec such as colour, cup packs etc that cant be changed.
Imports were definitely a way to save big money 3-5 years ago but now the difference is nothing if you know where to look.

the quote " question over the warrenty!" absolute rubbish, as long as its an EU country supplied car, theres no problem whatsoever!, if you are talking about a peugeot 206 i.e non renault, how can you comment on the service and attitude of reno dealers with no experience, STOP SCAREMONGERING!

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
All i was trying to say was that the guy said Barkers arent a reno dealers, and to him it seemed to matter.
As for the carselect price, as i said it is v good, but youll have the usual wait.
