VIICarCare · Sep 17, 2008

Its a late 08,with 3,850miles on it. Xenons,air con,zorst add ons,rear spoiler and front splitter soon. Wanna part x for a vee,i should have done it with the 182. Im not 100% happy with it tbh.

cheers guys

Timmay · Sep 17, 2008

13k?

gorgeous btw way

VIICarCare · Sep 17, 2008

cheers bud

hope ur well

Beef-Mc · Sep 17, 2008

13K would be about reasonable me thinks.

SPoiler really makes these cars IMO.

yeah not bad - miss my clios but oh well

so whats up with the car then?

seb · Sep 17, 2008

13k for trade in? i'd value it at 11k trade in tbh. They wil rape you on it. if it was on pistonheads then i reckon you'd get 13k .

dodgy clutch.

Timmay · Sep 17, 2008

^ ah i remmeber

Christopher · Sep 17, 2008

There's no way you'll get £13k for that, trade.

I'd say nearer to Seb's estimate of £11k.

seb · Sep 17, 2008

ultimately, the newer the car, the bigger the decrease it. over time the money you lose just gets less and less. so as it is so new you will have lost a big chunk for little or no use of the car really.

I personally think even at 13k private you'll struggle... but then you may get lucky and find a buyer. but when you can get new 197 cups for less than 13k and a new 197 for just under 14k... people will probably just plump for a new one.

i guess you are probably near to losing £1 a mile... maybe more. ouch tbh.

you may be able to find a vee owner wanting a swap plus cash? guess it epends if you want mk1 or mk2

Timmay · Sep 17, 2008

dawn reckon if the clutch was sorted youd prob be happy and keep it

Christophe · Sep 17, 2008

why you not happy with it. It looks mint!

paul · Sep 17, 2008

R26 meggys can be had for less than £13K

The markets flooded with sellers, some wanting retail prices

What people think there car is worth & it's actual value are 2 different things!

Renault giving huge discounts don't help either???

Renault Clio Renaultsport 197
2.0 Petrol 3-door Hatchback
6 Speed Manual Front Wheel Drive
Year: 2008 08
Mileage: 4,000

Part-exchange Price:
Excellent condition:
£11500

Average condition:
£10500

Below average condition:
£9240

Not good but if you price it wrong, you'll still have it at xmas!

seb · Sep 17, 2008

dawn's is in excellent condition as shown by the pics so 11k trade in should be achievable.

i agree, the market is so bad at present.

Seb i endurded months of idiot offers & time wasters.

So i am waiting to see what happens with prices, as was told R27's were fetching 14K 6 months ago, now mint low milers are sitting at 11/12K with no buyers

If Dawns has the cupped chassis i may be interested

B5 BDJ · Sep 17, 2008

yea, unfortunately as a trade in i cant see it being more than 11k

nice car by the mate, white is definitaly the best colour for the 197

Poopensharten · Sep 17, 2008

Used renault prices strike again!

leeds_182 · Sep 17, 2008

10k at best imo.

Thats the reality!!

Dawn is it a cup or FF??

seb · Sep 17, 2008

indeed, but why buy a car 4 months ago and then decide to buy a house? idiot 197 owner tbh.

reality hits home hard.

Poopensharten · Sep 17, 2008

It still worries me that people are actually suprised that dealers offer them buttons for "used" cars!

Such is the way of the world! They sell it to you and then buy it back for buttons so they can sell it on again to another un-assuming noob (no offence to any one intended)

That is just the way these things work! It is and always has been the same!

Timmay · Sep 17, 2008

true - end of the day the dealership wants to make money

DrifteR197 · Sep 17, 2008

renault offered me £8750 p/x

, late 56 plate with 14,000 mileage, immaculate inside and out, and that was set against a megane f1 @ £16000

F4R-Toxic · Sep 17, 2008

In Argentina the cost of a R Clio Sport 2.0 16v MK1 172 2001 its aprox. $60.000 (A FORTUNEEEEE) 1 libra = 5,8 $pesos argentinos

$10.000 libras for you its a lot of mony ??

jayxx83 · Sep 17, 2008

thats why in reality, im never going to buy new again. i picked up my 182 7 months old with 14k on clock for £9800 a few years back and thought that was a good deal. written off with 52k on the clock just over 3 years old and theve given me 6k. Even though Ive piled on the miles, to lose £3800 in just over 2.5 years is shocking.

2 years or older is the way forward... if its only had one owner than its more of a bonus.

VIICarCare · Sep 17, 2008

After the trouble with the clutch,then having the seat covers changed only to return from the lakes and find they are bobbeling again! Its just hassel i dont need. I should have stuck to my guns & went for what i truely wanted.

I would rather be paying out my hard earned wages on a car i really want,not something i thought i would be happy with.

It looks great,but its no vee.

At the end of the day,its my money. I know i have made a huge mistake & wasted my money. I just thought i would ask ur opinions,no need to get over heated about it!

Its a cupped 197, note Black cornering headlamps....197 potion only (with washers = Xenons), Black door pillars/mirrors (cups dont have these)

Here all night

VeinAST · Sep 17, 2008

I'd straight swap for my 1.4

Aye the market blows at the moment, although when I got mine R26s were available for just over £13k (£13,250 one I went to see was at a big car garage), that was in June. R27s on the market still seem quite rare, cheapest been a red one on PH for £13k private sale, or on Autotrader £12k private sale with no pictures (There's also one at an Evan's Halshaw dealer that claims to be an F1, and clearly in the photos isn't for 10 something), and the rest are over £13k private or trade.

The ones that appear for £12-12.5k seem to sell quite quickly.

I think your after legal advice on where you stand with this.

Your within right to return faulty goods which you deem to be unfit for purpose, IF theres valid reason to. (i would think a faulty clutch is damn sufficient)

Id speak to the branch manager, it not un-common for people to return cars, even after putting miles on them for a full refund!

Ouch. Dearler offered me £5k for my 172 for a R26 at that price at the weekend. Maybe I should have bit his hand off for it.

I understand your frustration of having spent a lot of money on a new car but as with everything you can't expect it to stay in 'new' condition for long. You think that the seats won't bobble on a Vee? You think you wont have any engine problems? Its all part of motoring and you have to learn to live with it. Do you think the thousands of other 197 owners have sold up becasue there seats are bobbling too or because of engine problems? I doubt it....

jayxx83 · Sep 18, 2008

prob shoulda bought something german if u didnt want as many niggly issues.

brisa4984 · Sep 18, 2008

^ yeah but come on.. all the cs 197 reviews on here say its of higher quality car than the 1*2s blah blah blah.. It wouldnt suprise me that some people wouldnt have expected it to fall apart.

Mawv · Sep 18, 2008

Nice looking 197. I think £11k is really good price to a buyer, not a seller as i just payed £6k for my 05 plate Clio 182. Good luck with sale.

im not saying i would expect the money i payed for it,thats not the issue. i bought a new car because i thought i wouldnt have any hassel,i expect problems with a used car of course. If im spending that much money i would rather be spending it on what i have always wanted.

value of my 197?
