I do and dont.
I do regret because i bought a lemon which cost me more in 6months to maintain than it did to buy it.
I dont regret becuase it was the most fun 6 months ive ever had on the roads.
Buy one you pussy. You only live once, and the Valvers will die out soon. Im happy i lived the experience, dented in the sky rocket but still, happy.
Get one mate!I regretted buying my 1st one cos it went wrong a lot but their such good fun and so addictive!
Clio II 1.2 16V
Never
What would insurance be like for a 19 year old with 1 years NCB ?? i was quoted 2k for a 2.0 16v megane coupe IDE (150 BHP ins group 13), so i was kinda thinkin 1800 ??? No-one will do me an online quote.
******PLUS RANDOM QUESTION******
Do ph2 valvers come with body colour bump strips ?
i was 19 when i got mine insurance was renewed at 19 too and it was £1150 with 3yrs no claims and pass plus that was with "which car insurance?" as for regrets i have had my times where i have, having 1 at the moment... but on a summers day when its been cleaned and everythins goin sweet, ya sitting in a beer garden over listening a group of lads saying "what part of their anatomy they would cut off to own that clio" brings a big smile to ya face.
How do you get 3 years no claims at 19 ? im confused
!he might have had a scotter when he was 16 or used them 10 month plocys where u get yrs no claims and it all fell into place etc
i havent driven my valver yet had in for abot 9 weeks now, but if u have seen the pics its been getting worked on alot
i dont regret buying it at all, i just love looking at it!
get 1 now before its 2 late
Dust who was that with ? just been quoted 2200 ! fully comp in my name !!
The worst thing about my Valver was the day I sold it. It was a beautiful car and the only reason I could ever part with it was for a Williams. Sure, they cost loads of money to run, but how many enthusiasts cars arent like that?
Although itll always live in the shadow of the Williams, it is already one of the hot hatch icons. I cant believe how much you get for your money.
Never regretted it yet
Surely hard to beat in terms of "bang for yer buck"
Just do a search for the things you should look for when looking to buy one
In terms of maintenance etc I think I have spent about £500 on mine in 18months, not too shabby for a 93!

Ive had mine 4 less than half a year and have had 2 spend more than i did 2 buy it on fixing it:gearbox repaired,wishbones,ball joints twice in a month on the same bloody side,bearings,brake pipe,drive flange,welding on front chassis,oil filter,fuel filter,timing belt,pads, and its strugelling 2 go in2 1st or 2nd and the front disks are warped not 2 mention it needs new tyres as most of them have their sidewall kerbed and the MOTs up in a month!!!So if u dont have money 2 spend on it after uve bought it DONT.otherwise its a nippy and attractive wee car.
In some ways i do - ive spent towards 8k on repairs and some mods since febuary but, TBH, it was a bit of a lemon i bought! Now its become reliable and drives the way it should, ive lost all the regrets and thoughts i had about binning it off! Quote my dad; "that isnt the same car you bought in febuary!".
Buy one but make sure its sound!
2004 Racing Blue 182
mate, if u dont buy one, that is the regret u will have. ive had mine about 3 months now, spent a couple hundred on it to date, needs the tappets sorting, but you owning one gives u that disease as my mate put it, "when u walk away from your car u always have to look back at it and everytime u think, wow thats mine"
there isnt one thing i can fault a valver on, looks = wow, perfomance = gasp, handling = weeeeeeeee, sound = mmmmm, they are just awesome.
YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT IF U GET A GOOD UN.
-->BV
Never!
The only thing I do regret slightly is that fact Ive spent over £10K in the last thirteen months (buying car, servicing, repairs, mods, insurance) and the fact I have to work bloody hard to stop myself becoming bankrupt.
But Id probably do this with any car.....its just I dont mind so much with a valver!
lost it eariler with the cr and give it a kickin. the heaters keep goin on n off constantly think its duff conection and the stereo keeps goin off as well as loads off other things, i have spent virtually every weekend for the lst yr fixing the c**t every time i fix sumut sumut else brakes. reno are experts at makin sh*te cars!
