200: Clio valuation 7 months down the line

[PB.200]

What do people expect-

15k Car to start with-

If you take VAT at 20% then your 15k car is 12k before you start-

Its not quite a cynical as that-

I would say the price quoted in post 1 is about right depending on Spec-
Trade would be around 12k+
& private maybe mid 13's- however there arent many people with 13k in their back pockets


I would always advise someone ( if they have the money) to buy a 12/18 month old used car over & above a brand new one-

As for value for money, for 11k a used 200 cup just about trumps a 6.5k trophy -
However it all boils down to how much cash you have 'on the hip'

Top 3 'VALUE for money Clios'

1) 200 Cup
2) Trophy
3) Phase 1 172 Tied with a 172 Cup

Why would you say a 200 cup is the best value for money?

It is, IMO, the worst value RS clio there has ever been, a FF with cup is so much better value, new and used.

dont think a 2oo cup will be worth £7000 when its 6 yrs old
where a Trophy still is

200 Cup is better value for money if you buy a specced one-

The only difference then is climate & a few other negligable factors-

Remember value for money isnt 'actual value'

A FF 200 is worth more, but £ for £ is it value for money worth that extra for what you get- not really...

but you are entitled to your opinion-

I would of thought they would be worth 7k after 6 years for a good example maybe?

would like to think so but cant see it
Trophy 500 specals
200 cup??? nothing spec

clio 200 trophy, last of the na engine, then move to small turbos for new clio sport, thats what i rekon they might do. cant see na engines lasting that long now due to tight emissions

 

[Roy]

would be good but the way the economy is theres no chance i dont think they will

Got my 200 valued last week (60 plate, 7500 miles, mint cond.) as looking to move to a Meg250 and got offered £13k for it. Which in reality is pretty good... although I'm on a 2 year pcp, I put £4k in and my current settlement figure is £11.3k so I only actually have £1.7k in the car, but is to be expected.

I can't imagine what kind of offers I will get towards September next year

If you keep the cars long enough they will be much better for value. If you keep any new car for a short period of time, they will always loose loads of money. I now go on the theory that you should keep a car for 3 years if you want to get out what you put down as a deposit, obviously only if you have finance. It's not so bad if you have the car over 3 years, but mine is 5. My last Clio only gave back what I initially put in as a deposit after 3 years.

Yep this is true.


I got offered 7200 for my R27 against a new meg 250 cup in January at a renault dealer. Values have dropped dramatically in the past year but few people want to run a small car that only does 25-30mpg in the current climate so to be expected suppose.

Im going to keep my car and enjoy it, still a great car that puts a smile on face

I'm no paying £450 road tax so may aswell keep the r27 for longer
