It looks stunning and it's one of the very last Mk1's. Only 20k miles, FRSH and a few nice mods!

If i could get it for the right price... hmmmm!

Or am i being impatient? Should i just wait until next year when i can afford a 54/05 Mk2?

I always slightly prefered the looks of the Mk2 and you get the extra power, better interior blah, blah etc.... I just want a Vee! And this one looks stunning.

Thoughts?

^^^ What he said, be patient and wait, you'll only regret not getting the one you really want! OR....

lmao u only live once mate. Do whatever feels right

 

[ForceIndia]

Aren't mk1's supposed to be evil handling little buggers?? Decided against DC5 then?

 

[John185k]

be patient

 

[Giles]

[John185k]

^^ Have a good day, John.

Wait for a Mk2. Mk1s are ugly. :dead:

 

[Bluebeard]

That car is frikkin awesome! by the looks of it, you'd be hard pushed to find ANY v6 in that condition!

 

[Dansta]

Wait for a mk2

Cheers mate, need all the luck you can throw at me...

 

[Iridium]

Mk1s look more aggressive IMHO. And some dude on V6Clio.net reckons they'll start to appreciate in value soon hehe.

If I was looking for a mk1, i'd go & see that one.

People always say that you can get them for 10k now - yeah you can, but they'll be the sh*t ones with a lot of owners. In my experience you get what you pay for (I paid ore than that for mine) Mines a minter.

As for the handling, no probs at all. If I was to drive like a plum then i'd bin it, but tbh most cars are like that.

 

[jayxx83]

mk2 mate just for the looks personally. as said before, dont think handling can be criticised, its a swb rwd hatch back ffs. its not going to be the easiest thing to drive on the limit, take it easy.

 

[Renault_Boy01]

Wait for a mk2

what he said

 

[cat171]

One thing I forgot to say - finding a decent vee is a joke tbh (i cansay for mk2's though)
It took me two months. So many sounded good in the ads, yet when I called them up the owners never seemed to have a clue - the common line I got was "I've had it a few months, I only got it to say i'd had one"

Out of the lot, I went to see two silver ones, then mine came up.
I could have had an early mk2, but tbh I prefer the mk1's front end. I also didn't want to blow 16k on a car.

 

[DebV6]

If you prefer the mk2's then be patient and wait. I could buy a mk1 now if I wanted, but I have my heart set on a yellow mk2.

 

[Ian_182]

The mk1 was such a dissapointment for many.Its no quicker than your car.And it will drink lots of fuel

 

[cK]

listen to that man ^^, v6's are over-rated imo. I've had one and to be honest you get a lot of looks but that's it. The car isn't fantastic. If your a poser go for it.

I'd personally choose a different car. You could have such a good car for the money. Have you gone off the idea of an m3?

 

[Craig]

just wait you fooooooooooooooooooool

 

[tommyboy]

Neither.

VAG is the way forward, well for me anyway

 

[cat171]

Christopher, have you been in/driven both ?

 

[RickyP]

Yeah I supose you could sell your car buy that, then when you have enough money sell that and get a mk2!..This one for the price and mileage and condition seems so so tempting..

 

[Fred@BTM]

my mk2 will probably be for sale at the end of this year, start of next

 

[Christopher]

Aren't mk1's supposed to be evil handling little buggers?? Decided against DC5 then?

aye, it didn't feel special enough tbh. :S i still really like them though!

you def want a V6 now chris?

100% my next car mate

but hold the phone, its for sale in edinburgh, by a guy called John - must be fate.

If only i wasnt getting married on Friday!!

best wishes mate!!

That car is frikkin awesome! by the looks of it, you'd be hard pushed to find ANY v6 in that condition!

i know, it looks stunning!

yeah, the M3 would be too much to run, i did some research.

 

[Christopher]

Christopher, have you been in/driven both ?

i've driven the Mk1, been a passenger in a few Mk2's

never driven either at anything over 5/10ths though!

 

[Christopher]

my mk2 will probably be for sale at the end of this year, start of next

i need to call you tomorrow anyways, now we'll have more to talk abooooot.

 

[Christopher]

although, i am really tempted to see this car at the weekend!! :S

 

[Pep]

wouldnt bother mate, but a mk2!

 

[seb]

i personally prefer the mk1 to the mk2. howeve,r my opnion has no bearing on your good self.

 

[R3OBC]

thats one MINT lookin Vee!!!!

 

[Rich]

Looks a great example, not a big fan of the mk1, I would be saving up for the DC5.

 

[R3OBC]

Chris - what does it matter, you could get that Vee, then next year get a MK2 - we all know what you are like

 

[Peperami]

Wait for a mk2.

 

[cat171]

It can't do any harm can it ?

 

[R3OBC]

Rich - i think he has opted for the Vee as he is not ready to join the big boys league yet, so the Type R's have to wait..........

 

[Pep]

thinking about it, could 'upgrade' to this, then do the same to a mk2 next year as said, then it may feel like an upgrade but you get to move out of that old bland car you have at the minute...

:rasp:

 

[Bloooor]

Acid Yellow Chris..... That mk1 looks Silver to me
