I'm being picky... But I'm impatient!

Save your penny's and buy a Yellow 250Meg

It's not about the pennies for me - I want a LY 197 R27.

Just sold an Orange Focus ST, before that I sold a Seat Leon Cupra K1 - now I'm looking for something smaller. Hence deciding on the Clio

Done the Clio thing but good luck finding the ONE

They are out there, you will just have to sit tight. I sold my LY R27 last March, that only had approx 28k I think on the clock

I'm happy to wait for the right one so it's all good

Any reason you want a R27 specifically? Would an early LY 200 with Recaros and a cup chassis not do the same job?

IIRC LY was only offered on the R27. It became a factory option on the 200's, but don't quote me on that.

Just had a quick search but looks out of my league lol!!

The 2 that are for sale on eBay...



The other has done the right sort of mileage for me, but needs all the alloys refurbing and only has very short tax and MOT

Surely that's just a bargaining tool though?

The one that's 70k is rbrockys off here.

Yep - bingo That's the plan! I know what I want to pay for it so let's see.

Yeah I've had a look at that one it's just the mileage that puts me off a little - although does look like a very good car.

This one that's done 36k is off the forum too, it's in the classifieds section.

My wife's got an R27 with all the options and about 28K on it (first owner was a lady owner before her as well), she might be tempted to sell at the right price but it's red tho..

Thanks this really helps. He says he wouldn't take less than 7.2k....

I was thinking 6.5k so good to know my head is in the right ballpark sort of figure.

I'm sad now though

Do I bargain more or walk away....??

its very unlikely to sell 7.2k as theres plenty of money to spend including tax which I missed.

Also the recaros looking a bit ropey is always a sale killer as 'new' people to Renault wonder why the seats are falling to bits.

If you Paid 6.5 your still all in at 7k ( or a touch over)

there aren't many about- but if you've been waiting years another month or 2 wont hurt.

Sorry if I wasn't so fussy on colour I would have been interested. Good luck though I'm sure you'll find someone else!

Saw this... How do I get it registered in UK? How much would it cost me do you think to get it over to the Midlands?

 

[Steve Murr]

its around £250-£300 round trip.

Plus registration as that's a southern Ireland registration I think ( although im not sure) - you would incur a cost to import it- don't know how much....

LOL, it's says Belfast so is in the UK! You'd just need to fly/ferry over and ferry it back. 30% off Irish Ferries at the moment too. Cheers .... Simon.
