Fell in Love with a Mirage Grey 133

[Dee1983]

I think i may of found my Twingo 133......if the deal is good enought and the px price is good with the Clio.

Went upto Chippenham last night and had a look at a Twingo 133 they have for sale at a Ford dealer. Has had one owner from new old guy as i understand ( Supplied by Platinum Renault), he chopped it in for a Ford Fiesta Zetec. Bodywork is in good order abit from a tiny scratch over the passenger side front wing and the passenger side alloy had been curbed but the other 3 alloys are fine and done nearly 12,000 miles.

What do you think and is there anything else i should ask about it??

I recon you can push them down to 8.5k

Looks like a nice car. How much they offering for the 182 ? Also see if they will get the alloy repaired and the scratch done before you pick the bad boy up it if all goes to plan

+1, that or extreme blue

Thanks guys

I just spoken to the sales guy and told him i loved the car but its the alloy that is putting me off and he piped up and said that they will fix that for me if i go for the car. He said he was waiting prices to px the 182 and i asked was there any movement on the price and was told he would have to speak to the sales manager as they have already knocked £500 of the price it was up for last week plus he said they would give me a year free road tax worth £155 in the deal and thats taking my 182 in with no tax in it at present.

So i'm playing a waiting game at the moment.....so nervous

+1. Looks good, and think 8.5K would be a fair price. (don't forget you can always reverse the salesmans tactics on them, things like I'll offer you 8.5K for today only - no matter what they say, it's always possible to haggle. I managed it with various places that pride themselves on not doing haggling. Though they may try and claim tax is all they can do )

Hope they give you a good offer on the Clio

P.s. Does look very nice, you got to take it for a drive yet?

 

[Dee1983]

I haven't taken a drive of it yet....The test drive is booked for sunday morning. They are still trying to get me to put a refundable deposit on it, which i'm not sure on doing as got done on that once before by a Trade Centre when i was looking for my first car in 2003, then the local Renault Dealer felt sorry for me and gave me a great deal on my Clio Extreme2.

Still not heard about my Clio....Bet it will be a poo price as its an 04 reg on 72k with full service history and well loved by me.

Is this the 09 Mirage grey at the ford garage down London Road, if so i pass that everyday

I too own a mirage grey 133

 

[toni_133]

Back to the price, it hasnt been on there forecourt for very long and i think it was been at £8999 for the whole time, hope that helps

 

[Dee1983]

Yup it is indeed...I had a look at it yesterday as was going to a shopping party at my mate house in chippenham and i had to pass it so i thought i would take a nose.

Thanks for the info

Ask for the refundable in writing or emailed so you have proof of it being said

 

[toni_133]

It looks like a good example, but i have only seen it from the petrol station when filling up. It was also the reason why i ended up soaking myself in petrol while i was checking it out..... whoops

Hope the purchase all goes well.

 

[Karl]

Good luck

 

[Dee1983]

Thanks guys

Still not heard anything yet...think i will give him a call and chase him down

 

[toni_133]

chase um.......

 

[Dee1983]

** Update **

Wanted to offer me £3,200 for the Clio WTF ....Said no and think again, so going off to see if he can get a better price, so still waiting

 

[Karl]

Fingers crossed for you

 

[toni_133]
