Performance Car Bargain Renaultsport Megane 225

November 21, 2006

This steel grey metallic Renaultsport Megane 225 2.0 Turbo 6 Speed just arrived. It’s covered 18000 miles by two owners and in excellent condition throughout. These are very fast cars with a zero to 60 in 6.5 seconds and on to over 140mph in the right country. These are a real step up in performance from (say) a Renaultsport Clio 182 2.0 16v and make a very affordable upgrade. To complimement the performance they have huge Brembo brakes that are not for the feint hearted. They have enormous stopping power on a car of this weight. All in all, these RS 225’s are a performance bargain.

This 2005 (05) Renault Megane 225  is available for only £11995 (circa £20000 new) other similar cars are available here

A Year in Provenance

November 21, 2006

Silly title, but serious subject. This from today’s Motor Trader Hot News e-mail. Press release from Experian Automotive regarding cars with finance outstanding. All cars bought and sold through allvehicles.co.uk are checked using the gold standard Experian Gold Check (similar alternative to HPI Check) for any outstanding finance, insurance, condition and DVLA issues. Here’s the press release:

‘The biggest threat to used car buyers is the risk of ending up with a car still on finance, according to research from Experian. Rob Whalley, managing director of Experian’s automotive division, claimed that through the provenance firm’s AutoCheck system, it had found that around 30 per cent of all the cars checked still had outstanding finance. He warned: “Statistically, car buyers face a greater threat of ending up with a car that still has finance outstanding on it, as fraudsters attempt to sell them on without settling the bill.” ‘

David and Goliath

November 21, 2006

Pleased to have slain Car Giant yesterday with a perfectly polished gem of a Renault Clio Expression 5 door. Rare car with Air Conditioning and Sunroof, but what sold it was the preparation. And they could only see it in the half-light following a nightmare journey around train cancellations. At least the journey was worthwhile. They were a little disappointed with previous viewings at larger dealers and supermarkets to say the least. Mind you, this weather and time of year, keeping cars clean is a challenge in itself.

Used Cars To Compliment Renault To Go

November 9, 2006

Many of the allvehicles.co.uk used cars prepared for sale are purchased by Renault dealers for their own stock. I often receive calls from dealers far and wide who are short of niche models and Renaultsport stock – they have often found my cars on Autotrader! Occasionally dispaching a transporter of Renaultsport Clio 182s in an array of colours and specifications, all retail ready renaults to go. My 2003 to 2005, low mileage ready to retail stock compliments the six month old cars available to the network from the Renault To Go system. Of course you can always get there first by bookmarking my website and before a main dealer mark up!
