    I didn't think there was one either, but there it is.

    No-one needs a £9k first car IMO.

    A car?

    If you like it and can afford it, then get it, but you can get far more car for lots less money!
  • This ''management'' car was possibly a renter for 6 months before being refurbed, you have no way of finding out, not as that is a problem, just don't be fooled.

    If you have the funds and secure employment then by all means get it if you want the thing.

    Bit bland in my humble for a 23 year old, would bore me to tears and to be frank i'd have to be close to ordering me box before i'd drive something like that, Fabias and Fiestas might give it a run for drab looks i suppose....no offence it just seems a shame to aspire to owning a pensioners car at such a young age.

    Hi,
    10 Months old with 13K on the clock.

    Rental rental rental rental rental rental rental rental rental rental rental :eek:

    Did I mention it might be a rental?

    Run.
  • Nothing wrong with rentals as such, so long as you know about it and don't get fooled by some trickery and misleading company registration.

    I'd have serious doubts if it was a Diesel though, seen far too many of them at Heathrow rental sites alone waiting for the debowsing van to come round to remove petrol from the fuel tank, they've been filled up elswehere by renters and driven in coughing and spluttering.

    I have had loads of Renaults and currently we are running a 2005 55 Plate Grand Scenic 1.9 DCi 130. I have never had any major issues with any of the Renaults that I have owned and they have, for me, proven to be cheaper and more reliable than other brands. That's my story and others will feel differently.

    My only advice would be to check the windows as they 'can' be a bit tricky. However better (read: more sane) advice can be found on the Renault forums.

    .

    Apart from premature failure of major components. An ex daily rental would need to be seriously cheap for me to even consider it.
