    Honest John likes the Panda, but I reckon the renault Clio is ok, wouldnt keep it past the three year warranty period though.

    I don't intend to keep it past 2 years.

    Pressure on. Sold my car today for £500 more than I was offered in P-ex by Renault.:T

    Still very tempted by the Clio being Brand new and under £6k with EW,CL and CD player (thrown in). Do you think I can get any money off the £6k.


    yes! Now you have nothing to part ex with, go in to the showroom and ask what their lowest price could be. Search on the internet first to see what the prices are like, and get them to match it!

    Lowest internet price I can get: £7 off :confused: But good luck and they're hardly going to turn round and chuck a couple of hundred extra on for trying to negotiate, are they?
    Debt at highest: September 2003 - £26,350 :eek:
    Debt now: £14,100 :rolleyes:
    Debt free day: October 2008 :beer:
  • Also, once they've knocked off as much as you think they will. Start asking for other things like tax for 12 months (they'll probably then offer for 6 months) and floor mats etc

    Renault say you get this included for £5,995:
    Delivery to dealer
    Number plates
    17.5% VAT
    12 months road fund licence
    £38 first registration fee

    So don't ask for tax, it's already in the price! But otherwise the above advice is helpful - I'd try hardest for free metallic paint but you'd be lucky to get it.

    There are a few other places that do it for that price as well.

    Full 3 years RAC is included. I questioned whether it was basic cover or full cover for me an any car and was told it is. That'll save me about £85 per year. Metallic paint is really what I would like or the Black something!! Been away for a short break so will get on the case tomorrow.
