Presume you have the obligatory snakes and aquarium to swap?

Depends what your buying, I've had a $15k trade offer on mine, so I don't think it's too far off. Although like everything, you get good trade or discount, pick one. Their a niche vehicle so it's also a bit of a waiting game. But at $15-20k for a 4 year old hot hatch with the bits they have on them it's an easy call for a cheap enthusiast vehicle.

I'm not so sure, I've been looking at late model 200 pricing lately. Dealers are listing Red Bulls at around $22k and they are moving. When new 4 years ago, they were selling for $40-42k, $35k on runout (drive away) Redbooks listing Private sale - 18,600-20800 Trade in - 14700-16900 Ave Km 80-130 000km I don't think Redbook listings are too far off (although most I've seen are 60-80 000km). I also think the Clio 3's are holding values far better than Clio 4's.

Yes to both.

No that's not correct. Both Red Bull and A&D basically had full options with 18" rims. A&D had leather trim, Redbull didn't.

I'll go through these when we're shipping for the pickups and PM those people.

You'd have to get to Auburn in Sydney.

If you go searching, both of these engines have had small samples of failures in multiple countries, no-one can give a straight answer why. Annoying for those whom its happened to, as others like yourself, have had the totally opposite experience.

But its not towed to your preferred dealership - it's towed to the closest dealership who then do the work. Like others, who have posted here, I've been through the process of having had an engine seize whilst at the track. It was replaced under warranty with no questions asked. I'm not saying that will happen all of the time, however Renault and the dealership were exceptionally good to deal with in my case.

Suggesting that not supporting your dealerships service department, won't give you a favourable outcome isn't true. If your car fails away from your normal dealer, Renault will have your car towed to the nearest dealership, no matter what relationship you've built with your normal dealer then goes right out the window.

Congrats on the purchase!

I reckon he needs a gearbox left on his doorstep....

I remember reading about it a while ago. Something about not being to engage neutral from any gear - ie. having to cycle down all the way through the gears. Thats incorrect, have mates who have built both sequential Quaife/Toyota engined and Hyabusa engined PRB's for use in NSW.

Finally put a deposit on a new Red Bull edition Clio today. Very happy
