hmale4yu Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Apologies if slightly clickbaity title As you guys know I love my wheels. As per title what do you think these two will have to drop to before someone is crazy enough to buy? Already been reduced a grand since I have had eye on them.

Whats the general look after protocol for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 What are the features, specs...Thats crazy money. Renault-Nissan are getting arrogant with their pricing of sports cars. £52,000 really?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmale4yu Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 And the thing is that's not even the facelifted Megane. So it will have the older lights on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Mannn carbon wheels. Well Nissan now claim to produce their own carbon fibre. Lets see how they incorporate it into the new cars. I think this car says dealer only on anything. Its a car a youtuber would buy or lend for the extra views. Would be cool to review it though. £52k thats a Cotswold/Yorkshire toy right there. They should include rifle storage and a cigar case. They are the only people able to buy it and not blink. Even though im not huge on Renault. They are trying with the Megane and Alpine. Just not sure if the market are ready to pay a premium for Renault. It even says dealer contribution of £11,000 so its really £63,000. you think theyll sell 30? Edited March 2, 2021 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Why would you need a specialist for a tyre change? They’re a regular bolt-type, anywhere can do them. I’m sure they’re a fantastic car to drive, sadly it’s the wrong two wheels for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same reason you would need to take it to a specialist just to lift the (carbon) bonnet. It's not a material that just any mere mortal can handle, y'know. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie_r32 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'd think the main stealer are the only ones who will touch the wheels and only as they have to, they will also damage them of course. I can't see any regular tyre shop willing to touch them, if they get damaged they can't just send them round the corner to their mats Daves shop to be repaired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took issue with people asking about the rumours of nitrogen and only going to Bugatti to get any work done. A case of each to their own in regards to tyre changes. Im sure most people arent bothered by using special gas, special services or special tyres since they wont be exceeding 20 mph in London. Use protective rubber and be careful Edited March 6, 2021 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmale4yu Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 This one is a bit more tempting at £25k @5k miles probable list price £32 . My Nismo is valued at £22k PE so a bit more and can swap for this https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202102169111459?make=RENAULT&model=MEGANE&radius=1500&sort=price-desc&advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&colour=Orange&postcode=nw102ae&include-delivery-option=on&page=2 The facelift (attached also) has a stubby aerial. Do you think this is a simple swap should one want to save cash and get the pre-facelift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I think picking a car based on the sodding aerial is bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I wouldn't swap. The depreciation is crazy. Only Renault think its worth that much. These dealers never buy their cars back if you need to get rid and I'm guessing its just as slow a seller. Go for a test drive but dont swap it. Aerial Parts should be similar but you never know with Renault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Fair enough. 400 Chirons is a lot for a niche market tbh considering the cost I can see the appeal of trophy/cup/limited edition/performance hatchbacks like the Clio V6, Mégane Sport, VXR, Focus ST/RS. The proposed Golf 400R from a few years back cancelled because of dieselgate. Renault have a wide audience in Europe but its about affordability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I’d pay £50k for a modern Clio V6. Happily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortPaul Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Know your talking, they have rocketed up in price, i did consider one about twelve years ago when i bought my first zed, as they were going for around the same price then 17k, since then the zed went down in value and the clio went up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of course, basing my entire opinion of French cars on the one French car we have ever owned. Therefore they are bloody awful If one of you kind gents would like to buy my a Bugatti so I can be shown the light, then im always open to correcting my views 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
