R27 within my grasp



  Less
Been speaking to the partner today reagarding the R27. She had a look at the renaultsport pages, liked the colour liquid yellow,... loves the decals! (bonus). So we booked a test drive for this friday over the internet.

Local garage is Dixons Lincoln, was phoned back about 45mins to tell us that they did not have one allocated to them yet, and that only one R27 will be allocated to the fleet which will be based in Hull. The sales man, Chris, is going to ring me back tomorrow with more info on securing the car for a test drive.

8 week wait for ordering one now, end of July start of Aug is the earliest at the moment for actually getting the car.

0% on finance with a 30% deposit.
My only big worry is that we live in town and the car will be parked on the street overnight. Its a cul-de-sac so not as bad as main thru-fair but still a worry. Car cover will be purchased.

Insurance with me and partner is £345FC with £200 excess.

Not driven a 172/182 only a Megane 225 from Grantham to York.

They are nice. I had a go in a standard 197 and was impressed :) Have you had or driven a 172/182 before?

Having not driven an R27 i cannot really quote, but loved the standard 197! i would say go for it!

Shindig - Looks like there may well be two LY R27s in Lincoln then.
Mine arrives early July, and I ordered mine on April 9th.

I was over at Dixons Renault earlier this week chatting to the manager, and he said the earliest possible date would be July 19th, and that was on a standard car, no Liquid Yellow or options. Liquid Yellow paint will almost certainly slow your order down.

I took a drive out to Worksop today, they have got one in Red. The stickers look really good on the car, and the Recaros get better everytime I see them.

Good luck with your order mate

  LY V6 with Recaros
I see a ly one in Renault London West today, did actually look very nice, and I'm not really a fan of 197s. They had a racing blue 197 which looked quite nice too :)

There is a 197 on a 07 plate with rear tints for sale at renault ilford for £13999. Not bad for a brand new car considering they will probably drop £500-750 if you haggle hard enough. Not sure on mileage or other options.
