Was always going to happen with the 250 coming out, alot of car for the money though.

 

[R20 CWH]

there are a few 08 reggers for 12-13,5k!!

i sold my old 06 plate about a year and half ago with 60k on for 8k , had r26r spoiler , roll cage , carbon bonnet , almost looked like a red r26r , i always seem to sell my cars stupidly cheap though , even had r20 sjx on the plate

We had one in stock for 6weeks and sold it last week for 10k. Hard work though.

Although people seem to be buying on here, in general there market seems to have tightened for them!

You need to have a read of my last thread, ie the one thats 9 pages long & says about how cheap R26's are these days .... theres one at Car Giant for £7k lol.

Track toy bargain imo.

Stage 2 and your laughing.

it was always going to happen with the new RS250 coming out... bad for people selling, good for buyers

 

[R20 CWH]

Cant believe the vfm factor in these now. Fling £3k at ones for engine, braking and suspension mods and youll have 280bhp, 320lbft. Not bad for around 10-11k of expense.

 

[Magic Johnson]

Yeah but after 3 years you're looking at quite expensive running costs in the way of repairs.

 

[R20 CWH]

^^ like?....

 

[Magic Johnson]

Everything. It's a Renault. Plus it'll have been ragged.

 

[R20 CWH]

hmm sweeping generalisation there.

On the flipside you showed interested in a 145k seat ibiza on an 07 reg, so surely applying this new found logic, its going to cost a 'bomb' to run.

Interesting.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Plus it'll have been ragged.

Its a hot hatch. Course its been ragged lol.

The Car Giant one would have sat on the mway all day. It'll be fine.

You tit, running a diesel Seat that's only done motorway miles is VASTLY (emphasis there) different from running a performance Renault.

You tit, running a diesel Seat that's only done motorway miles is VASTLY (emphasis there) different from running a performance Renault.

Oh im a tit now, cause clearly the transmission on a 3 year old 24k mile car is going to be far worse than a 3 year old 145k mile car.(6 times the miles?!)
Purely looking at usage and mechanical wear on gearbox, suspension, block and drivetrain, i think its more than legitimate to say that the 145k mile car is bound to have suffered more wear.
Diesel or not its spent alot more time on the road and suffered as a consequence.

Who's to say the R26 hasnt spent 85% of its life on the motorway?

As I say, sweeping generalisation.

Renaults arent that great in terms of build quality, but stating that 'everything' will go wrong, because its over 3 years old, is a bit fair fetched.

No it wont, everything will go wrong 5 mins after you leave the forecourt, because its not a diesel

 

[.GAZ.]

FLOL!

Negatory, look at Russ's Phase 1, its got 120k+ and runs like a well oiled swiss watch, if looked after, why would it break?

the car giant one has been around for ages, but granted, at 7k its cheap
