[yeecup]

thought this looked familiar.....

2003 RENAULTSPORT CLIO 172 CUP (collectingcars.com)

Used 2003 Blue Renault Renaultsport Clio for sale | PistonHeads UK

WTF its literally 2 months on

It has to sell first, to be worth that asking.

Says sold? £5k winning bid?

That's the first link, it's now with Holyfook, sorry, Hollybrook for £8950...!!!

That will teach me not to engage brain and read the whole thread

Shocking. But as @gez 172 rightly points out, it's got to sell first.

 

[gez 172]

I read it exactly like you did first @Cub.

I then thought why has someone taken such a loss so quickly 🤣. But it’s quite the opposite 😂

All that money and they couldn’t be arsed to replace the door Cup 172 stickers.

I still don’t get the whole cup thing personally. But if they do sell it for strong money, all these expensive cars helps us owners with our own car values

Cause 0-60 in 2 seconds from the lightened loom

I did a video on this exact car.

I would be lying if the owners didn't expect it to reach more on Collecting Cars originally. Cups always seem to have had a certain appeal, so I totally get it.

What I don't understand is the mileage argument. They are all now at an age where mileage is irrelevant unless it's an investment. Most of the bushes are shot irrespective of mileage. Would much rather buy a high mileage car that's been sorted, than pay through the nose for a car that's not half as fun to thrash about it.

Is the car worth that much more now it's passed across the Irish Sea?

 

[yeecup]

hollybrooks cars are always on the pricey side but they do seem to sell. the black clio v6 i saw at rentec a few months back was purchased from them. personally i think its great that cups are now becoming desirable and prices have shot way up. fewer and fewer on the road now as well which helps i guess.

 

[Bluebeard]

It’s almost as if car dealers buy cars to sell on at a profit....

Do you sell many cars at 80% profit?

 

[Stefan.]

Do you sell many cars at 80% profit?

Prob more 60% with the £600 fee on collecting cars in top of the £5k but even so I know what you mean

 

[Louis]

The goal is always 60%+ margin isnt it?

 

[RustyMojo]

Do you sell many cars at 80% profit?

It’s not 80% profit until it’s sold and gone. It’s 80% mark up.

 

[Waitey]

It’s not 80% profit until it’s sold and gone. It’s 80% mark up.

Still even for £5k it needed to have £4k worth of snuff p**n in the boot.

 

[Bluebeard]

Do you sell many cars at 80% profit?

It’s not 80% profit though is it. Take out tax, vat, prep, time, insurance, premises costs, and it’s nowhere near 80%.
80% markup isn’t unusual.

do you lot get upset when Tesco’s sell you £2 of bananas that they paid 25p for??

I’ve never understood people being bitter about someone earning money. It’s a bizarre thing to get upset about.

 

[cjgower]

Even more bizarre is that it's us, either current or past owners of these cars, berating the fact that someone is asking £8k for one of these.

If it sells for that much, great. Means my cars worth more!

 

[Euan Baguette]

Hope he prepares it better than the last seller.

Why do people get surprized when someone/trader buys a car at an auction and sells it on for more money.

 

[hsustyle]

Lovely car, sold this via collecting cars.
