E-Man Posted 6, July 2007 Report Share Posted 6, July 2007 As you may or may not be aware I purchased Emu’s Black Renault Clio Sport Cup 182. Me and Joanne picked the car up on an eerie Wednesday night and couldn’t be happier . We had fun trying to get into reverse gear, five minutes later and a quick flick through the manual and we worked it out. I’m still learning to drive the stick, so if you see a black RCS stalled at the lights be sure to wave or honk . See Emu's thread for a picture of the Black and Blood Orange side by side.

griffyn Posted 6, July 2007 Report Share Posted 6, July 2007 Welcome E-Man! I’m still learning to drive the stick, so if you see a black RCS stalled at the lights be sure to wave or honk . Alas, the RS Clio is not perhaps the most friendly car to learn 3-pedal driving in. Fun though! Hope to catch up in September when I come over for the French car show there.

emu Posted 9, July 2007 Report Share Posted 9, July 2007 Gonz, there's no such thing as a CHEAP RCS They're nice people, so I let them have it for a nice price, and they were aware it was ready for pads and a 30K service I'm happy it's in a good home, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emu Posted 9, July 2007 Report Share Posted 9, July 2007 I appreciate your comments Gonz, and much of it is valid...............I know that you are a bit sour about what you got for your lovely car, BUT...........One must realise that the RSC is a small market car in a small price -mean Adelaide market, and most of the time one has to really be patient in order to get the price You were in a hurry to sell , it appeared, and that can work in the RSC hot market in Sydney, but rarely in Adelaide I met my buyer through this forum , and we talked for a month, very low key, and when I told him I was about to advertise it, he responded positively He's a nice guy , I wouldn't have sold it for that price to a prick, ........but at the end of the day, he got a great car, and I was happy with the result The same would apply with an Alfa or a Citroen, .........you either remain patient, or you push a quick sale for a disappointing price. Anyway, that's the way I see it, and much of the philosophy applies to my Real Estate practise as well, good luck , Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Man Posted 11, July 2007 Author Report Share Posted 11, July 2007 Dr. Gonzo By your comments to Emu in this thread it’s obviously that you lied to me when you said that the dealer offered you $26k for your car. The reason that I didn’t purchase your car (which I told you via PM) is for the following reasons: Unrealistic price “26k firm†History of the vehicle – hit the find posts button and have a look 2005 year vehicle and warranty period left Emu contacted me about his car AFTER I had already made my decision not to purchase yours. In the end Emu and I are happy with the purchase/sale price and I think that’s all that matters. People who have met Pete befor will agree that his a top bloke that loves his RCS’s.
