Should I get this car or .......
- Thread starter GR7
- Start date
Sorry to hear you are having a bad day at work Cuppy. It will be better if you are driving home in the Cup. Whatever the car ( VTS excluded of course ) I would be happier driving than being at work.Quote: Originally posted by Cuppy 172 on 15 July 2003
I must say it does look good, sorry to everyone I have upset with these posts (girlracer & dash), having a very bad day at work, please forgive me
Go for it GR if they are giving you a good trade in.
As you say, youre not going to be taking it to its limits, so who cares if the new one is a lot better for an extra 7k and a very long wait.
Youve only done about 3k miles in your 172 after 18 months, so servicing is hardly a major issue, and youve got hubbys zim-zimmer for practical use.
Do it you big poser!
I was only joking GR, its just the way you have described the V6 looks in the past! You just know you are going to get so many stares.

I wouldnt. Itll lose a lot of value once its on the other side of that glass. People will always want the more powerful, better handling mkII you see.
But then Im not you, and you have said you prolly wont be racing it. If you like it, go for it though. Its what makes YOU happy that counts.

"The Mk2 is the finished article" - that is until the Mk3 comes along, listen to Uncle Dash!!
I saw what looked like a new Scenic today in a very dark silver and although I dislike this sort of vehicle, this one looked really lovely and very modern looking. This is what will probably happen with these V6s although I think the Mk 1 still looks lovely.
Im sure that someone (probably BenR!) will work out a way to change the Mk1 suspension to Mk2 settings, so then you can have the looks you want from the Mk1 with the slightly less wayward handling of the Mk2!
(Not that Id know of course - merely going on what his Highness J Clarkson has said
)Hope you got it.

Guys
I havent bought it yet as the salesman reckoned that it only has a one year warranty because of the build date, which is obviously some time ago as it is a Mk1. He is trying to get me to fork out another £300 + for the second years warranty and he will throw in the third year.
I want to try and find out if it automatically comes with a 2 year warranty, because a friend I was out with earlier reckons it should, due to EU regulations (or something).
Perhaps some of you knowledgeable people on here might be able to answer this one. Is it the build date or the registration date which is relevant to the number of years warranty Renaults have?
Another thing which surprised me, when I rang my insurance company, was that the V6 is a group 20 and the excess for the remainder of the time left from my present insurance for the 172, which is another 7 months, is £400 on top of what it already is!!
That is my little bit of excitement over for today!! Well see what tomorrow brings.

I really hope that you will have some good news about your missing Williams soon. I remember when you got it and it looked so immaculate too.

i would only buy it if they were to throw in the warranty for free, especially if you are trading in your 172 that has some warrenty left. if it is unregistered surely it should still have the three years warranty left. after all a tv sat in an electrical store still has its 12 months when you buy it even if it has been there for years and years

Get it Sylvia, whats a few hundred pounds here and there anyway. Its a beautiful car, and a bargain. Id have it immediately if I didnt have to ferry the kids around.
