[Gally]

You finally made a thread!

 

[.Adam.]

Looks good fella!

 

[Gally]

The exhausts are always funny on those, needs fixed!

You told me it was a project! Looks fine except the lack of packs mate.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Have you spoke to the guy about a price? Text me x

 

[renclio]

no this one isnt a project mate, the one i viewed the other day was a project, this one is just to keep clean and standard untill i have some money to splash at it

text you danny mate...

 

[p@blo]

Looks good.

Be interesting to gauge how desperate he is for a sale with the job loss situation.

 

[Jon.G]

£3.5 sounds cheap, and with having no job you might even be able to get it cheaper. No mention of belts though?

The belts are mentioned in advert, they have been done at 42k mate

Sorry, Im totally not with it.
Looks tidy though. I'd be on that if it was closer.

 

[D4N13L]

Looks like you could pick up a real bargain

 

[.01mph]

cheap car, defo worth it, offer him £3k im sure u could get a few £'000 quid off it, go with cash, and say u'll take it right there and then dont ave time to waste viewing other cars

it always works if ur a serious buyer; CASH is always KING; u always get a discount when its layed out in front of the sellers face

 

[Jon.G]

Funny thing is, how else to most people pay on a private car advert. Cant exactly go and then say ill do a bank xfer now on my mobile phone lol.

Its cheap as it is, there is bartering and then theres taking the piss.

 

[renclio]

Already offered £3.2 and would not take this so even if I get it for £3400 I would be chuffed tbh, I have to factor in my travel costs aswell as its about 180 miles away from me

 

[.01mph]

yeah no wonder its so cheap, sometimes when somethings priced right its just to pay the asking money BUT no harm askin for a bit off

also to note if he brought it from renault main dealer 7months ago they offer a 12month warranty which might b transferrable to you?????

 

[.01mph]

Its cheap as it is, there is bartering and then theres taking the piss.

yeah i agree, defo seems a good buy BUT then again cars well up north are ALWAYS cheap

 

[renclio]

They bought jan 2010 so it's now outwith the 12 month period sadly. And why are cars in Newcastle etc always cheaper ?

because ur up north, and everything is cheaper for some reason, e.g. average selling price of a clio 1.2 dynamique in west london £3k, scotland & NORTHERN AREAS £1.6kl! hence why alot of dealers buy cars up there to shift down south

 

[Gally]

The Lupo will ready at lunch mate so hopefully you'll get plans made to go and pick this one up!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Its been for sale for 25 days, that in itself would put me off.

A good 182, at that price would go quickly.

I'd go along with £3k in my pocket, & offer him £2.5k.

If he's jobless he'll be getting desperate.

Not really, but then the people that have driven down the cost of Clio Renault Sports are the folk on this forum.

 

[Ali]

I assume its an import.

 

[Gally]

He's on his way home with it anyway.

 

[renclio]

car was perfect and ran perfect on the road up, i think i may have just got myself a bargain, touch wood

 

[Addicted]

does seem a bit "too" cheap

 

[.01mph]

Not really, but then the people that have driven down the cost of Clio Renault Sports are the folk on this forum.

doubt it, do you think this forum is the be all and end all of the car market? A MASSIVE NO!

its the running costs & rioff parts which have driven the values of these cars down, you can break a 182/ 172 to more than there retail price these days.

tax £220 quid
cambelt £700
insurance £1500 quid = these r the sort of RIPOFF costs which hammers down the values

they'll level off around the £2-2.5k mark as you can rarely buy a smashed one for <£1k

its great for the buyers but a massive shock for them who paid £6-7k for one 15months ago!!!

doubt it, the car mkts screwed, and even the BARGINS take time to shift

 

[R20 CWH]

good work. cumbria isnt that far away though!

 

[7unner172]

looks like a bargin mate

More than likely started with a higher price?

Now after 25 days hes getting desperate and started to lower it

Looks clean tbh.

 

[Alastair.]

love the people who say its too cheap, just because they paid 5k or similar for theirs lol. Cracking buy mate.

This is exactly what happened, they needed rid of asap as his wife was losing there job and had a mortgage to pay so as the time got closer to her losing the job she lowered the price to sell quickly, which they did

yea ali mate, those people wont be happy, simple fact is that big engined cars are taking a big hit depreciation wise and unfortunately all the renaultsport brand is beginning to show this. I mean who would have thought you would be able to buy a v6 for 6k and under?

Car runs great, exactly as described and as it looks in the photos, only problem (to me as a valeter) is that the front has a few stone chips so when i have money this will be painted and it will be like new again

 

[.Stevo.C.]

You have bought a minter there callum I'll be up soon for a peak at it

 

[renclio]

Will get some pics of mine and my parents new car up soon

 

[Gally]

Looking forward to getting my hands on it mate, i'll fire you over that quote today.

Your mum's car looks like such a little go-kart I love it.

Some of what you are saying is accurate. Some not so...I'll explain further.

1st of all. CS has a culture of cheap skating!! I.e. For sale Complete 182 interior. £400 ono....CS response... I'll give you £150...Fcuk right off. Your comment about bringing cash isn't valid, as bankers drafts are every bit as good as cash!
2nd. The price of RS parts with exception of the V6 is relatively cheap! We have group buys, dealers and specialist parts available to the consumer.
3rd £1500 for insurance??! Can't imagine what the insurance is like on the M400 then!

I agree, they will level off around the figure you mention. Which in essence is why they are now driven my little morons! They are a very quick car, and dangerous in the wrong hands!

I would also question your theory that all cars are cheaper up here...From my experience it's the opposite. I bought my cars down south...I suppose it depends on make and model!

The ONLY people that would have BEEN stupid ENOUGH to pay more than 6k for a 182 15 months ago are TROPHY owners.


Running COSTS? Are you serious? Its a hot-hatch not a fcuking Polo Diesel, its ABOUT the CHEAPEST hot hatch you can buy and run, it is pricey but if you want to drive one thats the cost you pay.

As ALI says, the general consensus on CS is THAT you should get it for f**k all.

AGREE parts on here r very cheap, dont agree bankers draft can be forged/ stopped so not as good as cash

I have trade insurance 3rd party untp any value, never claimed, if i smash my cars up i'ii repair them as thats what i do, they wont get stolen as there never left in the undesirable areas.

AGREE

Cars are cheaper thats a fact not only retail BUT on auctions, we constantly buy cars from up north (scotland/ tesside etc...) for 30/40% cheaper than in london
