Mr2pod Posted 31, December 2020 Report Share Posted 31, December 2020 UK Renault has the 2021 RS sport listed at £33k, which is about £5k dearer than previous models. The Trophy is £37k. I'd expect new prices here to be reflective of this also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did want to only spent as close to 50k as possible ngl. I'll just wait for the new year. Appreciate everyone's feedback and point of views. Hi, I recently traded in my 2018 built Orange Tonic EDC Megane RS. I was told that it was going to Melbourne( don't know where to). If a 2018 Megane comes up on the second hand market with about 5,100 klms. I suggest you grab it! It was only driven by me, NO modifications and serviced on time( the last service was completed in Nov'20. I had absolutely no problems with the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscargamer Posted 1, January 2021 Report Share Posted 1, January 2021 (edited) Maybe post the last 6 digits of the VIN ? and what $$ you traded it in for? I know it's not that black and white, but might give a potential buyer an idea on price? Edited 1, January 2021 by oscargamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had any trouble with the RS but I did want to get back into an AWD. Not to cause to much controversy, the axle tramp was beginning to annoy me. I would still recommend the Renault RS to anyone who would ask about it. It was a more comfortable ride than my M140i.It gave me more confidence in the twisties than my previous Golf R MKVII etc.. I did consider the MK8 Golf R although it is much improved according to preliminary reviews, it was a case of been there, done that. I've never had a Merc. before so I decided to look at the AMG A35. The small gap between the tyres and wheel arches gives the A35 a hunkered down look and the overall design looks tight in my opinion. I'll leave it there for now, I may do a short comparison later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulda changed tyres 😎 Those of us with 280s have complained long and loud about the original S001s - they’re crap. I changed to Michelin PS4S and the difference was night and day. No more axle tramp! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought about changing tyres but you cannot get rid of axle tramp in it's entirety, especially if the road is damp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Renault Oz site hasn't updated to 2021 models. It currently lists sport and cup, as that's all they have to offer until 2021 models start arriving.

Just seen AD on Carsales, asking just under $43, making much on your trade?. No interior shots, is it cloth or Alcantara and what sound system?

Dexter92 Posted 8, January 2021 Report Share Posted 8, January 2021 Just wondering if anyone has purchased a new/demo Sport EDC recently? Really keen on purchasing but just wondering what prices people have paid recently? Or what would you expect to pay? will the upcoming release of the 21 model drop prices or will they hold because of low stock levels?

There will be the option of a Performance Pack which will add the Fuji wheels and also Recaro seats. There will no longer be a Sport or Cup available to us.

matt9999 Posted 9, January 2021 Report Share Posted 9, January 2021 Am unsure how we are getting the choice of EDC or manual when O/S is EDC only. Am further spitting those Recaros were not available when I got mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 250 Trophee had them and they are the best seat ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timster Posted 9, January 2021 Report Share Posted 9, January 2021 There is the other problem with dealer used or second hand, you won’t get as good lending rate from the banks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
