Clio Renaultsport 200 Raider

[SarGara]

Hmm if you get a scratch in Matt finish paint does it go shiney, ie loose the matt coat?

The Raider limited edition

Will this car hold its money like the RS500 did when Ford released it last year, or will it be just another special edition? Im thinking of ordering one as a weekend car, but as i wouldnt be using it a lot and not at all in the winter, it would have to be pretty depreciation proof.

 

[Graeme GTR]

wouldnt bother if you ask me. its nothing special. Wait see if they do an end of line edition.

 

[Arran]

Probably not much more than the other special 200s, so the Gordini. Have a look at the values for them, they're getting older now, so will be easier to gauge how much the others might be worth.

The only things I will say is that the longer you keep it, the more money you will keep on it. Most new cars are worth 4k less the day after you drive it off the forecourt, but if you keep it 3 years it's likely to be worth ~50% of it's original value.

 

[PB.200]

Its a Renault and only bonkers Renaults like the spider, R26.r and V6 hold their value.

This is just a matt painted 200.

Its nice enough but not to be used to combat depreciation. Buy an R26.r if you want that.

 

[Roy]

Wouldn't have thought so :-(

 

[roystinho]

I like it, but as an investment? Hmmm, not sure. As Phil said, R26.r or V6. If it's a special weekend car, I'd have a R26.r. And yes i'm looking for one

 

[Roy]

Spend a few grand more and get a 265 trophy

 

[luke3]

Rather have an r26r for that price.

 

[fmp]

get a regular 200, and get it vinyl wrapped matt any colour you like!

Maybe matt orange, a little like this M3 GTS:

 

[Roy]

^^^^ very nice:thumbup:

 

[roystinho]

Spend a few grand more and get a 265 trophy

The only thing is that the 265 will be superseded by the facelift special. It will be special, but remember the 225 trophy? Not valuable

 

[Matt197]

IMO it will be like any other Clio, by the time its a year old it will be worth about 12k

I might be proved wrong and they might hold their price but not something I would like to test or find out...

You can get a second hand 370z for around the price they are flogging the Clio for.

 

[roystinho]

But 370z's aren't all that. A lot argue the 350 is better. Also the second hand debate is almost a none one as you can get loads of 'better' stuff for the price of a raider. Exige S, V8 M3, but people want new for warranty, only owner etc.

 

[Matt197]

I did not say they were, just an example

Up to others what they buy at the end of the day.

 

[litchy]

Renault are killing the 200 second hand values with all these 'special ' models. The more specials the least special the specials will be.....if that makes any sense.

Ah, apologies. Thought you were saying the 370z was an amazing car that could be had for Clio money:hug1:

 

[Sylvian]

Thanks for your input guys, ill just buy a standard FF 200 next year.

 

[rds1985]

anyone know when one of these is likely to hit a show room?

 

[roystinho]

They're in showrooms now. There's one in Middlesborough I know about, surely southern dealerships would've got in there before the poor northerners?
