I've also got the akra and ohlins for that price. Ordered early feb. there are better deals out there now from what I'm seeing on renaultsport.co.uk

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and looking at buying a megane this weekend, is the cup s 275 the pick of the Renault sports?
What deal do you think is achievable as it is not end of quarter or year?

If you want something that is comfy, don't look at the Cup-S, as it's not. If you want something quick, tactile and fun then it's what you want.

Great deals are to be done. Spend a day or so playing on the configurator and get what you want in your mind perfectly. Personally, for daily-ing I would spec:
Keyless Entry
Climate pack (gives you climate control, auto lights and auto wipers, plus the std dials don't look "right" to me)
Stick with the 18's.
Recaro's. Expensive, but totally worth it. They're super comfy and they look great.
R link, it's the only thing I wish mine had, but the current system, esp with RS montior is really good.

The Akrapovic exhaust is worth a look at too, but it is pricey, as are the Ohlins dampers.

Drive one, you'll love it. I would have a look on car broker websites like drivethedeal and the like so you can go in, be polite and know roughly what you can get it for if you really push.

My thinking is that unless you are happy with a base spec Cup-S (new for ~£20k), it may make sense to go for a lightly used 275 Trophy for around £22k which has all/most of these options as standard.

I was in the same boat back in December, a new Cup S, or a lightly used trophy. I settled for a standard 265 as they were much cheaper and the perfect one came up, but each to their own.

I think I may have missed the boat on a new 265

I'd drop the 19's. They make the ride very firm, and the car is already hard riding.

I did the same with my 275 Cup-S order, stuck with the 18"s for the ride/handling aspect but I really don't like the 19" wheel design either.

Mine is now showing as 30th May "on dock", after which there will be some additional time to register the car and get it prepped for delivery.

Don't want to wish my life away but, hurry up June!!! ha

Looks like the best deals are with broadspeed now @ 18.3k

[prg1]

Broardspeed told me on Monday there was no possibility of ordering now as there were no build slots left.

[nickfrog]

Do they mean production will stop soon or Broadpeed have used up their allocation ?

[prg1]

I think they had run out of allocation. The dealer I spoke to though said he was struggling to do anything now too.
Looks like I had missed the boat anyway.
I think I will just keep an eye on the nearly new market now.

Interesting that drivethedeal.com are no longer listing Renault... wonder whats happened there..

Arghhh, that's annoying! Will have to wait for the 275s to start filtering through on Autotrader

They've updated their prices, Cup-S now £21752, so maybe they've found another supplier

[jbaddeley]

Apparently there are very few available from Renault now according to my dealer.

There's 24 left coming into the country around weeks 30-31 at the moment.

I believe factory ordering is still open so you could fresh order. I can check tomorrow.

Just sent back the paperwork for a lease on a 275 Cup S. Have been told it will be a factory order and should be with me at some point over the summer!

A little excited? Nope
