About 120 quid last time I bought some - nothing to stop you running the old tyres at the back, but it won't be fun in the wet and you could get caught by a bit of surprise oversteer! Surely there's some good local NZ options?? Matt

Black, but both way over the top price wise IMO - sold my black 'un last year with 22k miles on for £9.5k! Matt

time a trip to the 'ring then - you'll get murdered though...

Plenty of tall drivers around - I'm 6'5" (big feet too!) and fitted in my 182 ok - plenty of head/knee room etc. Driving position wasn't ideal (bit hunched over) and my back hurt for a couple of weeks at first but you get used to it! Alternatives are to get a 182 with Recaro option (a bit...

There are some RHD phase 2's in NZ (they were ~NZ$60k to order only) - I'm still thinking about importing a Trophy, looking at approx NZ$5k for shipping/rego plus 12.5% GST - not sure on Oz import duty though? Matt

lovely motor - just a couple of k outta my league!

6'5" and never really got used to the high position in my std 182 - Trophy's Recaros were better, but still could do with being another inch or so lower. Think next time I would just get some aftermarket ones fitted... Matt

I used to live in Cononley (still got a house there), bought my old 182 from Nicholas Smiths too! I think I know that black V6 mentioned too - lives on the roadside in Carleton most of the time. Matt

I think they'll hold up pretty well for the short-term; I was quoted £12.6k for a new one in September, changed my mind at the time and now can't get one (pre-reg/new) for under £13.6k. Matt

Nice one - is that the one that was at Renault Ilford last week? Matt

Seems a bit pricey though - lowest I got down to when I was looking at one was £12.75k...

I'm emigrating to NZ next month - planning to get a Scooby or equivalent though - as Clio's (and most European cars) are just too expensive; if you look at http://www.renaultgalerie.com/ you'll get the idea!! (£11k for a 2003 172 eek!!) Matt

Yup v common - mine started to leak just before it went in for 12k service - fixed under warranty.

If you havent signed anything with a date on you should be ok - but if you cancel they will keep your deposit and *could* sue for any losses on top (e.g. if they then sold the car to someone else for £12k, they could sue you for £1k) - a VW dealer near me did it recently (and got lots of...

Current petrol prices arent helping "performance" cars to sell either!
