Dr P Posted 8, September 2009 Report Share Posted 8, September 2009 Well now having both a '06 Accord Euro and '05 Meggy in garage. They are miles apart in build quality. But the Meg puts a smile on my face lots more!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26R Posted 8, September 2009 Author Report Share Posted 8, September 2009 They are miles apart in build quality. But the Meg puts a smile on my face lots more!!! Well we all know that french cars aren't reliable as much, but how does the meggy came along in terms of build quality, What are the main problems that meggy's have?

Dish Posted 8, September 2009 Report Share Posted 8, September 2009 What are the main problems that meggy's have? They attract tyrekickers for starters. But you'd know all about tyrekickers, being a car salesman, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26R Posted 8, September 2009 Author Report Share Posted 8, September 2009 Tyrekickers!!! Mate why u having a go at me for??? I just want to know as much information i can get before buying a megane, DISH thanks for the warm welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 8, September 2009 Report Share Posted 8, September 2009 Well we all know that french cars aren't reliable as much, but how does the meggy came along in terms of build quality, What are the main problems that meggy's have? Urban myth. Look after a frenchie right and it'll last. The quality of the fit isn't up with the best, but they're mechanically sound. We have at least one, probably two, members here whose Clios are close to 200,000ks. Look for a well maintained car, and you're more than halfway there. Be careful of anything that has aftermarket wheels that don't have the correct fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremund Posted 9, September 2009 Report Share Posted 9, September 2009 Wow it's a small world. I was in McCarroll's on the weekend with a friend looking at a Tiburon. He's got a Sonata that he's looking to trade in. Any chance we spoke to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 9, September 2009 Report Share Posted 9, September 2009 What are the main problems that meggy's have? They attract tyrekickers for starters. But you'd know all about tyrekickers, being a car salesman, right? My apologies if i am incorrect, however i believe it was meant with the understanding that YOU have to deal with tyrekickers in your profession on a daily basis. At least that's how it came across to me when i read it.... a pun. Anyways, welcome to the forum, and i good start would be to view the specific Megane sections of this forum. For any queries on expected and unexpected issues that may arise, here are some discussions... viewforum.php?f=25 Hope it works out for you, and remember, Renault Sports are about the 'Drive' more than anything else. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbsy Posted 9, September 2009 Report Share Posted 9, September 2009 Welcome R26R. Great to have you on the forum!!! Guys with car industry knowledge are always an asset around here. I am aware of a forum member who doesn't post often who's thinking of selling his Black R26. Perhaps post in the Wanted section and see what crops up for you.

Dr P Posted 9, September 2009 Report Share Posted 9, September 2009 Well what I see the difference for my is how the body panels go together and that the roof header feels kinda flimsy. That said I love my Meggy and it hasn't been a week yet and I am looking for excuses to drive it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's how it came across to me when i read it.... a pun. Sorry to get off on the wrong foot there, but it was as WOLF suggested, a pun. I'd ask your wholesale person to keep an eye out for a Megane. I'm sure you'd be able to get a much better deal instead of looking privately. My brother sells new & used cars in Melb and it's staggering the number of cheap wholesale/trade-in deals he tells me about. (ie Volvo XC70 traded in for $1500 and then sold to a wholesaler for $6K!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26R Posted 9, September 2009 Author Report Share Posted 9, September 2009 Dish its alright mate!!! I really haven't thought of asking my wholesale's person just yet because i found out about this site and i would rather buy a Renault off one of you guys since you know how to treat it and look after it! Guys l'm just going to ask you for all your opinion and i'm going to post this question in the clio Section so please comment on it..The question is There's a renault clio V6 on carsales and the seller is asking for $71k thats WAY out of my budget of course but im just really curious what you all think about the price tag..Do you think its Way over priced..how much would you pay for the car and how much should it be advertised for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 9, September 2009 Report Share Posted 9, September 2009 If it's way out of your price range, and have no interest in purchasing it, then i fail to see the relevance. Asking us on a personal sale price of a very unique vehicle in Australia, which was personally imported (and who knows how much he or she payed in duties and transport), would be at best - conjecture. Due to the 'one off' nature of this vehicle, that is no longer under production, they can pretty much ask whatever they want. I would... but then, i wouldn't sell it! (unless pre-organised of course) Surely you would agree now that this has been explained to you...yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26R Posted 9, September 2009 Author Report Share Posted 9, September 2009 Look i'm just asking for your opinion and what you think about it. You guys really haven't made me feel welcome to this forum, it really is abit disappointing knowing all you guys are representing Renault Australia. Appreciated to the people that answered my question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 9, September 2009 Report Share Posted 9, September 2009 I have given you my opinion. If it is not the answer you are looking for, that is lamentable for you. However, this should not be confused with how welcome you have or have not been 'made to feel'. They are completely different issues. (ie not the same) I cannot help but think there is other issues at play here for you...and again..nothing to do with this particular question. Btw - Did you read the technical posts on the Meganes? - Since i answered your intial question on this thread (in my own way) you are very welcome for the thanks you have given me and others. Cheers.

You guys really haven't made me feel welcome to this forum, it really is abit disappointing knowing all you guys are representing Renault Australia. Appreciated to the people that answered my question. This forum is not affiliated with Renault, nor any of its subsidiaries. However, I find it a little strange someone a) working in the industry and b) who already owns an Accord Euro, is looking at the bottom-end of the Megane market, where the high kilometre and lightly damaged vehicles live. That said, hop down to one of the Sydney social events. I'm sure you will have no trouble striking up a conversation with any of our more established members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremund Posted 10, September 2009 Report Share Posted 10, September 2009 I'm a car salesmen at Mccarroll's Hyundai in Artarmon and i currently drive a Honda Accord Euro. I have a problem with this statement. I was back in McCarroll's again today and I while my friend was doing some dealing I thought I'd ask about you. So I asked the salesman which of the sales staff drive a Honda, and I was told that there was no one on staff who drove a Honda. I thought maybe you hadn't told the others at work what car you have.

rup11e Posted 28, October 2009 Report Share Posted 28, October 2009 Uh-oh Dad caught us! R26R i'm looking for a demo i-load (man, diesel preffered) you guys have any laying about? I'm thinking of taking advantage of the 50% government rebate. I-load is much bigger and costs little more than the caddy which I am also considering so if I can find a demo for a bit less I might just go for it.
