Clio 200 on order

[fleurbrawl]

Took the o/h to Snows to order her new mini today and then popped into Renault to check on the spec list for the new 200s.
One is now on order for beginning of Sept

 

[Sam]

O. What mini did she order? Cooper S?

LOL at not caring about the Clio being ordered :rasp:

Two brand new cars in the family, you must be doing well!

What colour 200 did you go for?

What colour 200 did you go for?

Much as I liked the yellow/green ones I've got with Nimbus, looks nice on my current 197.
Added a couple of options packs so the wheels, bumpers, diffuser and mirrors will be anthracite.

Nimbus does suit the 197 well, great colour.

If i was to get a 200 then it would have to be in Alien green though tbh

 

[ant_r27]

cool.

did the dealer budge on price or did he give the usual spiel about it being too new a car to discount yet?

 

[jesus]

Nice! Pics up as soon as you get it :rasp:

 

[Dave138]

Why is it such a long wait?

 

[Fletcher]

Why is it such a long wait?

Haven't the order books only just opened??

 

[Da]

Yes, they opened 1st of May, and Sept will be a 59 plate.

Mine is in for it's MOT on Tuesday and quite fancy looking over the 200 if they've got any in!

 

[Fletcher]

Very eager ordering one today then.

 

[alanc1000]

excellent i wondered who might be one of the first to order one of these, i'd be interested in seeing pics too.

I'm keen to see one in the flesh as i have a feeling they might look more decent than the pics.

 

[DrR]

Only just ordered now? There was loads being made/made when i went to dieppe.

 

[fleurbrawl]

They only started taking orders today afaik.
And the dealer said it would be a 6-8 week delivery turn-around as they are made to order.
Could have had it in August, but thought best to wait another 4 weeks for the 59 plate.
They will be holding the valuation on my trade in, and got a very small discount, lol
Oh, and free car mats

 

[AlexG]

off topic i know but what will happen to the reg plates after 59?

 

[jesus]

60.

 

[Lewin]

60.

Or 10 then 60?

 

[jesus]

Yerr, forgot about that one :rasp: then 11, then 61 etc.

 

[weggy71]

Off topic, but does anyone know where CL is the area code for? Fancy a '10' from CL on my next!!

 

[CrippsCorner]

You have a nimbus 197, and have just ordered a nimbus 200? lol point?

 

[fleurbrawl]

Well the 197 is almost 3 years old, and I've had it over 2 weeks

 

[Ribena]

nice! I would love to see a 200 in the flesh, can never see me growing to like it more than the 197 though. Good choice of colour

[TheKing]

how much did you pay for it

 

[fleurbrawl]

With all the extras it came to £19,000

 

[Marky_]

Fair play to you.
Possibly the first person on CS to take the plunge.

 

[Ben.]

19k!!

congrats though

 

[fleurbrawl]

The guys in the dealership can't wait.
They've only just started doing the sports models (Southampton used to do them, but closed)
Think there is a waiting list for them to take it for a spin when I go to pick it up.

Big windows eh..

Paid £13,395 for my 197cup with recaros, AC, gloss black speedlines, glacier white.. had the car the week it was released.

 

[Dyewitness]

paid £13,995 for my standard 197 with xenons, climate control, auto lights/wipers and electric folding mirrors...most i will pay for my next one would be £15,000

 

[Craig.D]

19K on a clio :dead:

 

[R20 CWH]

lot of money chief, but sure you will be one of the first.

hopefully it will look better than a few of the pics reported on here, sure it will nimbus and anthracite stuff generally do look good.

 

[Dyewitness]

i owe a little bit on my 197, had it since sep 07 and think owe £3,000 on it so would be around december/january before i can think about whether to go for one

 

[iimushroomzii]

19k!!!!!!!! Jeeeeeeeeezus!

 

[fleurbrawl]

Think the base price for the cup is £16500 ish and the standard is £17500.

Discounts can still be had without much of a problem, 'who you know' etc..

 

[JT182]

£19k! Jeeeeeeeesus! I hope you're keeping it for a good few years as I for one wouldn't want to be paying that, then getting around £10k in a years time.....

Plenty of other cars I'd have over the new 200 if I'm honest though, especially for that price. Could of had a mint v6 for £15k! Or a mint DC5 for even less! A '996' 911 even and plenty of others!

I'd like to see some photos though when you get it, as I'm yet to be won over by that new front end.
