Id let someone else pay for the depreciation and buy a low mileage example, failing that go through a broker(read - not importer!).

From personal experience, about £25k. Plenty of good deals available.
Cant imagine doing business with a broker - who the hell would do a £25k deal with people theyve never met?

Motorlogix are well respected and Im sure someone from here has bought from them before.
Lloyds also act as a broker and Im sure someone else has bought from them as well. Both of these companies will put you in contact with the dealer to arrange collection.
Thousands of people deal with importers every year why not a broker?

Personal choice - I wouldnt. Wouldnt do it with a business deal, wouldnt do it buying a car. I buy lots of stuff from eBay or from internet shops for anything up to a few hundred, but £25k? Not a chance.

Dont see the problem my self, the guy that bought the V6 from Lloyds, wrote it off in France, cant remember his name.
He got 3/4K off the list price and they put him(the buyer) and the dealer in touch with each other so he could check the progress of his car, Motorlogix do the same thing. Having communication/ confirmation from the dealer is surely enough. You even pick the car up from the dealer.
Edited - When I say dealer, I mean a franchised Renault Dealer.

Its who you pay the money to that counts for me - never mind where its picked up from.
Anyhow, back on topic - can anyone else tell Liam how much he can expect to pay for a new V6 from a Renault dealer?

They are mate, particularly if you can do a nice clean deal. I got over £2k off even though I had a p/x.
if you haggle hard i think you could get them down to around 24k, i didnt get any discount on mine but i got a very could trade in price on the 172 which made up for it, swings and roundabouts really.

They have an 04 second hand (might be demo/pre reg) one at my local dealer and its £25,500!
Most dealers youd be lucky to get one for under £25k from Renault.
Like paul says Id get a second hand one for about £19k. No V6 owner would surely abuse such a car! Unless it was a company one.

hmmm
Well finally got a V6 testdrive yesterday after (literally) months of trying.
Now i know why owners rave about them so much!
Compared to the 182 I much preferred the seating position (seat seemed lower/slightly further back) although the steering wheel seemed slightly more offset. The climb over the wide sill adds to the feeling that this is a serious motor!
Engine was slightly louder than I had thought (I expected it to be just loud rather than very loud), but sounded awesome at higher revs.
Handling was submlime, although the lighter front end took a bit of getting used to - felt very stable at the back end though.
So in summary I want one, just need to figure out how to afford £27k! Initial dealer offer was mine (04 182 Cup packs etc 14k miles) plus £18k to change - err no thanks!
They have two of the things at reno in milton keynes, one of them has been there a while so maybe willing to do a deal if anyones intrested?
There is a link on AutoTrader at the moment for people wanting to buy brand new cars. It is under the Renault Clio Sports, thats where I saw it. I looked at how much a brand new V6 would be and it was 21K!!!!!!! Have a look and if you cant find it ill let you know cos I wrote down the link somewhere.
