£18895 for a clio?!

Yeah right. I'd rather 2 buy a Megane 225 a clio 197 a Twingo and a holiday!

Its cheaper than its rivals new, look at the price of brand new Mini Cooper S' , corsa VXRs and the new polo GTi.

It's well priced for a new car, used cars will obviously be cheaper.

It was about 17k for a 200 last year or so, so that's not bad at all!

The price of a 200 raider makes the 200 edc look a bargain lol
 
Does make you wonder why people buy new.

I wouldnt even consider it till it dropped below 10k as its a good car but not worth those sorts of numbers imo as you can always get mint low mileage used performance cars cheaper. Ah well rockstar lives and all that.

The warranty, finance packages, full knowledge of the car's history from new, exact choice of specification...

It can cost a bit more but if you want it, can afford it and want the perks then why not!
 
Compared to a 172 CUP it actually represents great value IMO.

Say a 172 CUP was 12,500 in 2001, accounting for inflation that makes it ~£18,000 in today's money.

Now compare the spec. 172 cup came with 4 wheels, some seats and some glass.

The standard car now includes a LOT more kit. And has some well priced options it seems.

Because it's still a sports car, if you buy it new its your mileage you're doing and if something happens to your car it's your own fault.
Where as you buy second hand a total chavtastic ********* could have ragged the crap out of it and then sell it.

I have a few friends that, if they would sell their car, I would never buy it because I know how they drive. My brother is the worse, no way in hell I would touch a car that he drove.

Whilst working for Jan De Nul in Qatar an Dubai he lost count how many jeeps he killed in the 2,5 years he worked there.
