Arranged a test drive of a ST

[Mentalpen]

18K deposit? Bloody hell.

I put £500 down, and pay £280 a month for two years (PCP) on my fiesta

I don't want a pcp which don't get me wrong I could have done but even the pcp deals are weak.

The only RS with 0% apr is the new 265

Knowing the 265 is 0% i'm wondering now if its worth looking into that on PCP as a better option rather than X amount interest on a 14K 250... guess the only solution is go to Renault and find out.

I don't understand why Renault don't do decent finance offers, or if they do, they don't advertise it.

For example.

Megane

48 monthly payments of	£428
Customer deposit	£2,999
On the road price	£28,245
Deposit contribution	£0
Total amount to be financed	£25,246
Acceptance fee	£99

Focus

[h=3]Finance Example[/h]

Total Cash Price £21,995

24 Monthly Payments of £189

Customer Deposit £5,334.05

Dealer Deposit Contribution £1,500

Term of Agreement 24 Months

Credit Arrangement Fee £10

Option to Purchase Fee £10

GMFV - Option to Purchase Payment £11,953

Total Amount Payable £23,343.05

Rate of Interest (Fixed) 4.3798%

It was around 6 weeks ago I looked. You needed a 50% deposit, which I had but dealers would move bugger all on the price of the cars.

Renault simply aren't providing enough support.

Ah ok - if Ford are doing pretty good on the current finance deals then i may have to pop in and see what they could offer on a used Focus RS if any are in stock

The more I see this the more I actually want one..

Wide arch kit, KSport big brakes BC coilovers, carbon fibre bonnet, carbon fibre spoiler and a focus RS engine.. Full of win for me

 

[shotgunsjay]

how far out would the back wheels need to be spaced out to fill the arch with that kit, im guessing a fair amount

I am saying it may have changed as deal do from time to time but was on 6 weeks or so back.

I had a quick check online and couldnt see it. Not had a viewing on the 200 yet, just timewasters so with a free weekend i could easily has a wander between Renault and Ford to see roughly what options are on finance. Will probably be more than im wanting to pay though, hence currently aiming for a 13-14K meg250.

I like this, think i prefer it to the standard car - gives it a bit more presence and stands out

Kevin you are not seriously considering a fiesta to replace your Megane are you?????

I thought that, I can understand the Clio to Fiesta but not the Meg, I'd be going bigger but each to their own.
Facial, those are 2 completely different deals though? Renault is Finance and Fiesta is PCP? That and they are 2 different price bracket cars, the Clio/VXR prices look about the same as Fiesta when I last looked.

That wide body kit Fiesta though, ooft.

not a fan think it looks a little O,T,T

Perhaps. but it stands out and makes it that much more different from the non ST Fiesta

Thats why they bought out the Focus RS

Yeah ive seen a few things comparing the meg and Focus RS. Some articles saying the Megs tend to be about 270BHP (instead of 250) and the Focus actually underpowered at around 278BHP (instead of 300) - with the focus also being heavier so its puts the at a pretty even match.

I'd happily have either, currently trying to sell the 200 and the only car im looking to switch to will be a meg250.
