Is it a keeper?

[holliedynamique]

I plan on buying the car after the 3 years finance is up, and modifying it to a high standard, tastefull of course lol

Keeping mine

Yours will end up as a museum piece, the worlds most unused car.

I did post a long comment and then my internet died and it didnt post!

Anyway, when the three years on finance are up i will hopefully be earning enough to take a major upgrade..

I might keep the twingo though as it is the first car i REALLY love. And then just have two cars.

I dropped from a 200 to a 133 due to running costs. My plan is to get a 250 eventually....

Got a new job I start in a few weeks with better prospects etc so hopefully at some point next year I'll be getting rid and hopefully getting that 250! If things go even better than I hope, I'll keep the 133 too :lol:

As much as I'd love an RS250 or 200 I had to be sensible what with having a mortgage and all that sensible old guff so the 133 was the sensible RenaultSport choice lol

plus the fact you have a much better renaultsport than both the 250 and 200 in your garage
(apart from the dodgy colour) :shock:

Dodgy colour??? Lol Inferno is the best 225 colour haha

Not sure it's better than a Clio 200 or Megane 250 but it's certainly got more character!

Due to the fact I will never touch a PCP I will own my car at the end of the 0% finance deal. So nothing left to finance or cash to find. So will likely end up keeping it, nothing I've ever driven has made me smile soo much through the bends!

That's a good way to be mate. I personally am not a fan of PCP deals. I know they offer the ability to own a car you wouldn't otherwise be able to buy but to get to the end of a 3 or 4 years finance deal and still have to buy the car, just seems such a waste.

For what I'm paying monthly for my Twingo on a 0% 3 year deal, I could drive a Megane 250 on a PCP deal but I'd rather own a Twingo 133 in 3 years than owe X amount on a Megane I'd been driving for 3 years already. :?

 

[maggi200]

TBH I could have put another £5k into my car but I'd still be owing money, it was 0% finance so I left that in the bank earning interest, I can happily cover the monthly payments so seemed a good idea to me. I could also have a meg on a PCP or a clio for even less, but I can't see the point in putting so much money into an asset I couldn't afford to keep at the end

 

[Alex_225]

That's the trouble with PCP, you pile a load of cash in and then at the end have to buy the car again!! WTF?? lol

Like you say, in some ways you're better off having your savings in the bank earning money and paying off the car when it's 0%. It's harder paying back you're own savings than it is paying out a direct debit every month. It was handy selling my Lupo though as I got more for that, than I expected.

 

[maggi200]

And you're paying finance on the amount you're not paying?

 

[TripleJay]

its a keeper for me. Until i can afford to move up in Renault RS range and Nissan GT-R eventually :mrgreen:

What year polo gti u getting??

 

[Ruddiezero]

Definitely a keeper!! A hot hatch that's affordable and so much fun to drive! Had a 10 plate 320d m sport the other weekend and couldn't wait to get back in the 133!!

 

[miner154]

I downsized with my Twingo and TBH I really love having a small car with a bit of go in it.
Renault have made a great chasis/car with the Twingo RS.
Boots is puny but the seats are clever so it suits me for what I need these days so can't see me changing it for a while as I had my Honda Civic for 5years and 9 months before it went to a new owner.

What year polo gti u getting??

Its on 56 plate mate so 2006, not the brand new ones with 7 speed dsg box they are too expensive!

Nice power upgrade though 1.8 20v turbo, 150bp standard gets to about 230bhp with a map, intercooler and turbo back exhaust!

Sounds good i looked at a polo gti before i got the RS 18 months ago but couldnt afford the insurance at the time great reliable cars!

 

[Sharpy]

Yer they are great little cars, i was looking at them also, somehow the insurance is only 1900 which is 100 more than the twingo, so happy days!
