what do we all think to the 225???
apart from the back end?
No-one should be surprised at this. Yes its crap to lose so much on a car in such a short period, but you did buy a Renault. It may be the best hot hatch about but this is why when it comes to re-sale your CTR or VW GTI buyer is laughing. I know thats not why people buy 182s but its not shocking that you lose a packet on them when you come to get rid.Quote: Originally posted by JoelDee on 11 November 2004

He will give you more money for your 182 against a 225 but will most likely make you pay full price for the 225 and you will lose about 4 k on that as soon as you drive out of the garage.

And all those who said get an official UK rather than import or motropoint because of resale must be feeling rather glum now. Id rather save the money in the first place and you would lose less in the long run.
Unless of course I am wrong and the imports are going for 8 or 9k which I doubt.
WRONG, at the price I paid for my UK car and many others on here there was no real difference between the two, plus, if the 182s are hard to sell and its a buyers market, you try selling one without the cup packs like the imports, you have very little chance when there are so many cupped ones forsale!!!
the ones at my local Sainsburys are too dear though.Quote: Originally posted by Matty on 11 November 2004
So moral of the story is to lose least amount of money get one as cheap as possible, regardless of where from new. And if not bothered about cup packs then get an import or go to a supermarket. And if not getting a cup and keeping because its the car you want then can always add better suspension and alloys than a cup comes with.
Or keep a car for longer than this. Dont understand why peopel buy a car for a few months or a year as the depreceation you get is ridiculous.
i have never seen any Jill, but then I havent actively looked for one.Quote: Originally posted by JillyB on 11 November 2004
You can get imports with the cup packs now though cant you?
I got my 182 with cup packs in March/April brand new on 04 import! yes but there are very few it was the only one they had and was the same price as the non cup ones?? they havent had any since!!! maybe Im lucky?Quote: Originally posted by JillyB on 11 November 2004

Thats not a bad deal but whats the insurance like on one of those for you?Quote: Originally posted by Matt ATR on 12 November 2004
Yup - thought Id lose a packet if I sold after 6 months - although the Subaru garage has offered me a good deal now on an 04 STi (£13k trade in - although obviously theyre discounting the STi massively) - decisions decisions!
Would put it up to £1k (from £500 for the 182) - more worried about being mugged in it though!!Quote: Originally posted by craigs.cup on 12 November 2004

Totally agree. Buy a new car and sell it within 6 months and ur going to loose a shed load.Quote: Originally posted by MIKE-CUP on 12 November 2004
telford_mike has hit the nail on the head. Any new car bar a very select few, or ones with a waiting list (which usually go hand in hand), lose alot of their depreciation in the first 12 months.
According to most information sources, CLIO 182s will be worth 50-55% of their list price after 3 years, but I would suspect that 30% probably goes in the first year alone!
My Dad has just bought a 6 month old 320d Sport in Estoril Blue. List price was £27,500, he has just paid around 22k. 5½ grand in 6 months!
If you plan on changing your car alot, then there is no point buying new. Buy a 12 month old one and sell it when 3 years old.
