Low Mileage Cup - Where best to sell?
- Thread starter Bennno1
- Start date
I don't disagree. Just using it as an example in respect of the 200 not being sought after.
*not currently for sale, but might be* the best and lowest mileage example in the UK currently for sale
Are there any other similar cars out there?

I wouldn’t have said it if there weren’t
What do you have then?I wouldn’t have said it if there weren’t
If its similar spec, condition and mileage I'll give you the 7.5k you believe they are worth.
With respect, this isn’t a ex Renault press car so it’s never going to achieve that kind of money.
Nostalgia drives values so cars you have mentioned above are purchased by people wanting a part of their youth back or they were pin up cars whilst growing up that they can only afford to own now.
Not to mention the fact most of the cars you’ve referred to have rally heritage and lots of it.
It will be worth good money as it’s low miles, that’s it, nothing more.
172 cup maybe 20k in 5 years with those miles & 182 trophy would be mid to high 20s now.
Its a cool car and hopefully you will enjoy it and maybe make a few £££ but it will never set new records.
My opinion of course, feel free to chime in on this thread in 5 years and update.

With all respect mate, some of us have been on here 20+ years and know RenaultSport in and out. The people who you're aiming to sell to in the future......are us! We're the enthusiasts! We're the ones who these cars mean most to 🤷♂️
I don't doubt that, however RS Rowe did post his view on this thread that he thought an as new condition, 8.5k mile, factory rs200 cup, with recaros and a/c, sat on new tyres, cambelt and dephaser done, fully serviced was worth about £7.5k.
If thats correct then its unbelievable value and anybody else has similar for sale at that price them I'm buying.

This bit specifically ^
Holding onto it for a loooong time seems to be the best option. Eventually even the lowest performance models gain value.

Pristine 1988 Escort XR3i with 2,859miles could set new auction record
It headlines a selection of stunning low-mileage and desirable Fast Ford that will go to the block at the same event. Here's how much the Escort and the others could make when the hammer drops.

I've missed this... It's standard I take it?
Seems to be
Sorry been away with work - yep totally unmolested factory cup - it has the a/c option and yellow dot recaro's, its a racing blue car.
Its just back from paintwork correction and to have a scratch removed on the rear bumper, really, really nice now and drives superbly.

Stunning mate. The last thing I would've done is put a post up on the forums and socials for everyone to have there 2p worth. £7500 I just read - Absolute laughable. If KGF are offering £13500 it's going live with them for £20k+.
If you don't need the money keep it.

The pleb read all you post. You advise was £10-£12k take £7500 for a quick sale which is IMO laughable. He's been offered £13k trade, admittedly he posted that after your valuation so show's how far off you are as this is a £15k all day. Don't be offended I'm not it's about opinions. If the OP wanted a quick sale it at £10k the car would be sold in less than half hour because I'd buy it as would plenty of others inc the trade.
I'm not 100% sure what i'ii
I had a 106 Rallye new back in the day and a 205GTI - both are so expensive now.
I really enjoyed an hours drive in it this morning, its a lovely thing. I'm very fortunate where I live that its <£150 year to insure and I've got several interesting cars so I can easily just tuck this up and enjoy it as and when - think I'll ponder it over the weekend.

As someone else mentioned if only we had a crystal ball. I had a Williams 2 back in 1998 3 years old with 18k on the clock. I p/x'd that car in for £6000 against new Integra Type R Dc2 with Honda. I went back into an Integra in 2008, I paid £5500 for a 1 owner 2000 (v) with 42k on the clock sold it a year later with 50k on the clock for £5k which was top end money then. Both those cars would be north of £25k now. I can't even bring myself to mention the S1 RS turbo i sold for £2500

Don’t start them off again 😫
What questions are you expecting? car is straight, 2 owners, never damaged, mileage is genuine, it’s in great condition and it’s been fully gone though by a main dealer tech and had pretty much everything done on it (tyres, water pump, belts, dephaser, coolant, disks, pads, brake fluid, plugs, filters, wipers, wiper motor and mechanism, headlamps) wheel refurb, paintwork correction and nose cone repaint.
if I get a decent offer it’ll go, if not I’ll keep and enjoy it. It’s a nice thing.
My wife says my 911, plus an older Elise, BMW Cab and the Renault take up too much space in the garage.

I've been on this clio scene a long time. circa 2004. I've seen a lot.
it is a lovely car for sure. It has a few fundemental issues in my opinion that stops it making the top/crazy money.
1 - it is a 200 cup - No one really ever wanted a 200 cup back in the day. they don't really want a 200 cup in 2023 either.
2 - it has the ugly standard wheels. relatively simple to rectify. But then it wouldn't be original in my eyes.
3 - Colour - RB is/was a popular colour. But less so on the 200 imo.
For top money it should be Jamaican spec imo.
Overall I think it is a great looking car and the mileage etc superb. But it isn't a "halo" model of car in the CLio RS world imo. the low miles gives it good legs though.

Fair response, linked article suggests it’s the amongst the best to drive, despite some exalted company.
I’ve seen quite a few sets of the speedline option alloys for sale, but think it’s better kept standard, so many have been modified or bashed.
How many left suggests there were just 429 200 Cups, of those just 341 appear to remain. White made up 55% of all orders Blue was the second most popular colour at 18%, just 1 yellow cup car and 18 green. Surprised by those numbers as it’s total sales were 20% less than a 182 Trophy and there remain circa 20% less cars left on the road today (341 vs 398) - but it tends to support your position that it wasn’t a car bought commonly when new.
it’s a nice thing, should go live on collecting cars tomorrow - I’ll see how it does. It doesn’t owe me much and I suspect it will appreciate if I store, service and use it lightly.

Good Luck with the sale.
Nice to test the price point on these car.
Especially a normalish one that is not a press car or been part of Renault Heritage Fleet.
