GT plastic

[tommy89]

Im looking for a second hand GT as im getting a bit fed up of the 8v unit on the roads round here.

I'm priced out of the 133 market as ive got my twingo (59 extreme) plus a grand- ish.

anyway! its late and ive gone off the point a bit... my question is, do all GT's have that beige and black interior?

I'm sure all of those who have it like it, but i love the black interior of my extreme and really don't want a beige car.

thanks
tommy

If i remember right after a certain year they got the darker interior.

Do a proper job, Sell yours privately and get Als RS. Only wants 6k for it

I had a 58 plate 1 mate and it had that interior in

Look on www.smcrenault.co.uk I know we have a GT for sale

 

[AlunJ]

Not all, I've seen one with a full black interior

 

[tommy89]

oooo! nice to hear there are some GT's with the nice interior (imo)

i was considering Al's RS but im just not sure, the insurenance on an RS is only 31 pounds more than im paying now on an extreme, but the running costs might nail an all ready very tight budget

 

[tommy89]

darn, looked on the SMC renault link and the GT is a bit out of my range at 5695. i dont think my extreme is worth much anymore with 32 thousand miles on it.

the grand i have (plus my car) is looking a little tight to get a nice twingo

 

[Dazza1]

Mate I had a gt and my 133 is about the same to run as the gt

 

[tommy89]

oh! thats good to hear. my extreme is suprisingly expensive to run (for a cheap car) its very thirsty on petrol and quite tyre happy for the fronts.

how is the tax on a 133?

 

[Dazza1]

Tax is £165 for the year but I do the same in petrol then my gt

 

[tommy89]

not too bad that, only 70 pounds more than my extreme. might have to look into getting a bit more funding together for a 133... be nice to get a properly fast car

 

[Dazza1]

Worth the money mate. Do u have conti's on the extrem if so there crap

 

[tommy89]

um the rear tyres are continental premium contact, the front are firestones. not the best tyres but it was a tight month when the fronts needed doing (one had picked up a slow puncture and one was on the legal limit)

it is due a service in two thousand miles, really dont want to chuck money at it if i can save the money and upgrade to a nicer car.

 

[Dazza1]

If u get a 133 from a 10 plate onwards it's serviced every 2 years or 12,000 miles

 

[tommy89]

once it is out of warranty i would be servicing it myself, I have found that with a renault the warranty is worht keeping for all the little bits of plastic that drop off etc.

i could probably scrape together enough for an 08/58 plate 133? just need to get my car valued. we buy any car say 3200 .... which is a bit rubbish

 

[Dazza1]

I paid 7,500 for my gt and got 6k for it trade in u just gotta shop about. Yeah once mines not under warranty my mate will be servicing mine

 

[tommy89]

not a bad return that! i paid 5400 for my twingo a year and 3 months ago, I would like to get a better price for it, but it is quite a high mileage car for the age.

its either a 133 or.... a land rover defender, loved the defender for years! finaly could manage to get enough money together to get either

 

[Dazza1]

Mine gt was nearin 3 years old with 17,500 on the clock

 

[tommy89]

jees! I'd love mine to be that low! my daily commute of 80 miles kind of kills any hope or keeping the miles down.

 

[Dazza1]

I only do 12 miles a day lol
