clio rs3...any idea on cost

[Dyewitness]

is that just a concept model which will be altered before going on sale or is that the final spec? any idea on cost?

 

[telford_mike]

Itll change quite a bit. Expect cost to be about the same as a 182.

Mike I herd it would be 18k + ....GTI money cs of the investment in built quality???

 

[telford_mike]

Not a chance - that would put it the same price (or more) than a Megane RS. Renault are not competing with the Golf with the Clio - its a completely different market sector. £15k max, probably a little less.

I certainly hope its not around 18k! At that price I doubt I would even consider buying it!

 

[182_blue]

over 16k, depending on wether they use brembos etc etc

 

[Tom]

Im expecting a basic price of £14595

Brembos will be used.

 

[182_blue]

its more the fact i dont think they will be a discounted as the 182s are now, well at least not for the first few batches, if the build is better it can only be good though, just a shame the dealer networks are still the same

 

[Tom]

Tbh you cant get past the discounting thing unless renault uk really muscle in and stop it. But the reason they sell so many is the discounting.

I reckon 5% of cliosport members paid full wack for thier 182/172.

The new model in basic form should be cheaper than the 182, however its my understanding (im not 100%) that the std spec wont be like the current model. Expect options by the bucket load.

 

[sh33n]

Oh please not BMW style, where windows and seats are an optional extra few grand!!

Thats gonna make it a pain in the arse if you want to get a second hand one down the line that matches your criteria!

 

[Tom]

Might boost residuals on the better specd models.

 

[D"w!Z]

true, but dont renault usualy do options in packs?
