Looking to buy a Clio 200.

[Fletchie1990]

Hey,

My names Joe, and im new. Ive currently got a (everyones favourite) 2010 Clio GT.

Ive been looking around for new cars, Ive test drove a 2010 Ibiza Cupra, and a 2010 Clio 200.

The ibiza was tempting due to low insurance and better petrol, but the car was quite alot of effort lol 3 different driving modes... but i didnt get to excited with it.
On the way back home we stopped at renault and test drove the clio, never had such a big grin. Only downside is that the insurance is alot higher, tax is higher and petrol worse, but hey, only young once.

I wanted to know, if you think ive been given a good offer. the 2010 is a white car with black wheels, it has just under 4,000 miles, one previous owner (an older woman, so not ragged to much i hope).

Originally the car was up for £14,700. and they offered £7,500 for mine. we managed to negoiate the car down to £14,000, but i wanted £8k for mine... So we walked out.
I had a call today saying that they should be able to do a deal for my car + £6,000, So do you think its a good deal?

Ive seen a 200 cup abit further a field for £14,000, with less than 2,000 miles, so could get it down more. Plus for this is lower insurance, but downside not as much equipment.

Hope i havent gone on too long

Thanks

Fletch

If you're going to struggle to afford a 200, just bear in mind the fuel costs.

My 200 gave (near enough) the same fuel consumption as my Scooby. They are terrible on fuel.

Fcuking good cars though, Absolutely brilliant.

I get around 27mpg in mine just done over 8000 and everytime I go out in it puts a smile on my face even just up to he shop if I was getting another I'd go for the 200 not the cup as it sfa lol

The economy comments are just not universally true and I'm rather fed-up of reading it on here, mine genuinely gets upwards of 34mpg with mixed driving....:S

Make sure you calculate tank to tank fills and don't trust the trip computer as mine under reads by around 2mpg.

If you're getting the same as a Scooby (with this I genuinely could not get 24 mpg), then you need to examine either your car or your driving style.
