Enjoy your FOG LIGHS! Why does your car Pay As You Earn(d)?

Interior looks nice, prefer the loof of the pre-facelift ones though imao

Last year I was looking at the same model but abit newer and got put off with the horror stories of Meganes.

Looks nice, I like the colour!

Seems to be sitting a bit high though, lowering and alloys would be on my list of mods.

yea but its only expensive (relatively speaking) if he sells it for a LOT less than he bought it otherwise, if he gets 2k back for it, is it really that expensive to own?

Missed the point. I would never call a car expensive if its fitting for what it is.

The Running Man · 25 May 2007 at 15:52

when your talking £1-2k for a car i dont call it expensive, unless it was an absolute gutted shell from something like a M reg escort...

it is all relative, it may be more expensive than the equivalent (older) mondeo as mentioned above - however, if it retains value and is inline with the market then it isnt really...

Its not inline with the market though, thats the point you missed! As i said above i would never call a car expensive, or cheap, if its fitting with market. This car is very expensive.

Guessing its off a dealer though, cant blame him for trying to get as much as possible for it.

parkers - £2000 good condition private sale with 70k on the clock. 2400 froma dealer.

ergo he isnt out of line with the market.

[TW]Fox · 25 May 2007 at 16:06

So what? It's still an 8 year old 1.6 Renault for 2 grand.

You should have said, my mate is selling his Coupé which is exactly the same as that (minus air con) for about 1700

Enjoy though. Nippy cars. Uncomfy if your anything over 6' tall however

Ahh, you'll be ok then. Im 6' and even in the front passenger seat I keep bashing my head, unless the sunroof is open

Why didnt you get an Almera, you could save up and turbo it. Just kidding NickG

Looks nice, that is top money but if its mint and your happy thats all that matters.
