Renault clio sport 200 or Renault Clio 200 cup. Please help!
Discussion
Hi guys, I am looking at getting a renault clio sport 200 or a renault clio 200 cup.
My question is what one should I go for. I believe the only major difference is the cup car has a sporter chassis and can handle and go around corners a lot better that the renault clio sport 200?
My bought had it on rental yesterday, wasn't sure if it was the cup or standard one but oh my, what a great car, and the standard exhaust, wow!
Another question is, resale value. How much could I realistically get after 3 - 4 years of ownership?
Any know issues with the car? How good is reliability?
Why is there so many of these cars 09 - 2013 on the market with an average of 20,000 miles on each car.
Getting it on finance with renault? Possibility take 2 - 4k off the price they are listing it for? I'm guessing if I can, they will always be able to make their money back, some how.

Yes as above, you want the 200 Full Fat with the Cup pack, and recaro seats are a must!
I have one in the classifieds
The 200 CUP is a far harder car to sell, and not as enjoyable to own from a daily prospective, simply because its really quite hard and raw, it has no comforts and doesn't have the keyless entry, better sound system, auto lights etc, and as i said, far far harder to sell!

Why is cup harder to sell?
The Cup is essentially the hard core version, and as I said above, it just has no spec at all, so no one really wants one, they are incredibly stiff and therefore very uncomfortable - But, its fantastic to drive, I've driven a lot of Clio sports (see profile) and the Cup is great, but just not that useable for actually using. I know its 'only' a clio, but it is similar to a GT3 RS vs GT3 comfort spec...
The one you have posted is a full fat with cup chassis, which is good. Its got the good chassis but has the comfy bits that make it a nice place to be!
This is a Cup..

(Easy way to tell is the non colour coded side bits)
This is a Full fat with recaro seats and speedline wheels and spoiler, the three big hitters with the resale market
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/r...
Other ways to tell, Cup Chassis has red calipers.
Full fat car has keyless entry (silver handles) and button start, and then things like climate control, cruise control etc..
Feel free to PM me, i'm a bit of an RS boffin

Many thanks, I will deffo get the full fat cat, as resale value is important to me, and the full fat is so much better looking than the standard ones.The one you have posted is a full fat with cup chassis, which is good.

Any reason why so many are on the market atm? I feel like something is wrong with the cars and people just want to get rid!
I will deffo PM u in the near future, looking at getting one in around 4 months. I don't know what I'm gonna do though, because I wanted to get in on renault finance and they don't have any full fat ones currently.
