Meg175 Posted 10, December 2019 Report Share Posted 10, December 2019 (edited) Hi from a long time lurker. For a long time ive had desires to pick up a Megane 225 or 175 and it looks like they're finally about to come true. A 175 fits my mission a bit more closely and I love the idea of a diesel hot hatch and the mountains of torque. The Orange currently available in Melbourne looks the goods. Am I missing any red flags?https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2009-Renault-Megane-Sport-175-Manual/SSE-AD-6428086 Also, has anyone tuned one? If so, how did you go about it and what were the results? TIA Edited 10, December 2019 by Meg175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaisclio Posted 10, December 2019 Report Share Posted 10, December 2019 He purchased it from Manheims auctions about two weeks ago so it will be interesting to hear the story that he tells you. Good luck looking. PS. It did look clean but small market appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg175 Posted 10, December 2019 Author Report Share Posted 10, December 2019 Ah, ok...That's not a great sign. I'll report back on how it goes. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted 10, December 2019 Report Share Posted 10, December 2019 Welcome mate. The car looks tidy enough from the pics and has a service history. Not sure you could claim ‘no accidents’ having only bought it two weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faeros Posted 10, December 2019 Report Share Posted 10, December 2019 I had a tuned one. Was a weapon. They will do 1100km to a tank if driven without a lead foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63x1092 Posted 10, December 2019 Report Share Posted 10, December 2019 I’ve put a cheap one in the for sale section, but it’s got a stuffed clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meg175 Posted 15, December 2019 Author Report Share Posted 15, December 2019 Well, i couldn't get to see it this weekend and it's now gone. Thanks all anyway. Still on the lookout for a 175 or 235, we'll see what turns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
