smpj26 Posted 16, April 2013 Report Share Posted 16, April 2013 Hi All, Looking for advice & any help on buying a 197... After my first introduction to the RS family driving my cousin's 172 Cup, I have been hooked by the Clio's and after research, testing and seeing a few in the flesh, I've made the decision the 197 is the car for me. To be honest its become a bit of an obsession. I am in NSW and in no rush as my current car is serving me well however I am serious about purchasing in the next 6-9 months I am sure there are a trillion threads on this so even appreciate links to existing threads... appreciate any help.

walkie86 Posted 16, April 2013 Report Share Posted 16, April 2013 Welcome, SM. I moved this new topic to the newbie section for you. Good luck with your search, there are plenty of 197s for sale at the moment - the most I've ever seen, in fact - and a few bargain R27s around! I just sold my 197 so know that they're a truly awesome car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonyq Posted 16, April 2013 Report Share Posted 16, April 2013 So many bargains on car sales right now! I bought mine 6 months ago and spent far more than they are going for now. Buy one and keep that obsession running!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renault_Tech Posted 21, April 2013 Report Share Posted 21, April 2013 I can vouch for Mooseys 197. Cleanest and best example of a 197 you could come across. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
