Heard a few bad stories about these kind of places. If the car is on site and you go to buy it then you might be ok. If they have to order it for you then your gonna be waiting ages cos theyve got very little buying power with manufacturers.

It will be pre-reg. Although I dont think there is anything wrong with that.
You can get them cheaper that 12.5k anyway. Cheapest ive seen is £11795.

rwally pardon my ignorence but whats pre reg?

means your not the first owner!

 

[eves]

really ? so it wouldnt be brand new then?

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

It would be brand new, but you would technically be the second owner.
That way the motor provider can claim back the tax as its classed as tax exempt and pass the saving to you.

 

[eves]

but thats not really such a bad thing though is it? £11,500 for a new 182 yes please!

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

I certainly dont think so.
Id gladly pocket the savings.

Trade Sales in Slough had 182s for £11,999 heres why.

1) They were Imports
2) Only 2 Years Warrenty
3) No Cup Options (Buy as is)
4) No 6 CD to get "non Renault Changer" = £250
5) No Alarm +£200 Charge for fitting
6) No Locking Wheel Nuts (goodbye Alloys)
7) Admin and RegPlate Charge of around £100

So to get a Car on the Road would go up to about £12,800 ish pounds.

My Advice is to do as I did, phone a dealer let them know that this is what you can get a 182 for, but youd rather buy from them if they can "Match / Come Close".

www.newregcars.co.uk - 11,795 , full uk spec. pre-reg. delivery miles. (not import)

I tried negotiating with dealers , but they just give to you in one hand and take from the other.

For instance, they told me they would match a price.. ie 12.9k. Only to find out they had upped the apr on the finance package.

In the end i got it from a broker.

13.3k including cup suspension, cup spoiler and a renault id colour.

Car = £11800, Cup suspension + spoiler = £350, ID = 1150

Total = 13.3k
Im even picking it up from the renault dealer myself.
