"Extra testing"!! Hmmm, I wonder what that might be about!
I suppose that if you guys worked at a Renault dealer that had a V6 you might give it "extra testing" too!!
Thats what worries me, the testing by a dealer.
Black 182 + Recaros
Its second hand with 300 miles on the clock. Yet your paying for brand new.
i thought i read somewhere that delivery mileage is closer to 40 on the V6?
Wheres all the V6 owners? what mileage was on your car when you picked it up?

Dont forget that some cars are driven from the dock to the dealer so might have accumulated quite a few miles.
mine had better not be
or the keys will be thrown straight back.

My 172 had a about 2 miles on the clock but heard normal delivery miles can be a little more.
Spoke to a guy at Renault who said about the V6s being tricky to get on the transporters coz of their width and how low they are. If that is true I supppose you might expect a few more miles?!?!?!

Is that because it has to be driven behind the transporter if it cant be loaded on to it?

this is my 3rd reno, and the others had 8 miles on the clock, is what i want to know is what the v6 should have. so unless you have bought a brand new V6 and have first hand knowledge can you not clutter this post up with rubbish.

Mine had 40 miles on the clock when I picked it up. The dealer spent a week testing it making sure everything was ok. Several people at work spotted it being driven around.
I had been told about this before I took delivery, and the car has been faultless since I picked it up, so Im happy.
Incidentally, the only guy at my dealership who is insured to drive the Vee is the RTE.
The V6 will not go on a normal transporter, but there are smaller ones that can take it ok.

is this so called extra testing an offical renault thing? or is it some bollox the dealer uses as an excuse so they can have a play.
Mine had 35 on it
My 182 had 130 miles on it - delivery miles from Sheffield.

I regarded it as good service. As I said, they told me what they were planning to do, and I was happy.
This forum is full of people who are eager to say Renault are crap, customer service is rubbish etc. I was very pleased that my dealer took the time and effort to enure that my car was completely right before I collected it.
Its good service! Whats a few extra miles if it means you dont have to take it back because the SERV and ESP lights have come on!

that post wasnt ment to come across as it did and wasnt speciffically aimed at you. Its just that a lot of posts on cliosport just tend to get cluttered up and all i wanted to know was about the v6 delivery millage and this so called "extra testing"
I asked about this when I ordered mine. The salesman told me theyd had somebody reject theres due to it having 50 miles on.
Renault came back to him saying the V6 does test mileage at Renaultsport? Its apparently par for the course.
Sure enough mine had 45 miles when I first turned the key.
But it was only ever driven of the transport and into the workshop. I know this as I was there to make sure.
