2010
10k miles
£13,950

my regular search of the classifieds for a megane R26.R turned up this-as the thread title says, i never knew they were down to this price already

[RacingBlue]

Still waaaaaaay out of my price range though

Do you not get the PistonHeads "State of the Megane 250 Cup Market" newsletter?

You should sign up

Tempting. What have the 26.R's levelled out at?

[StottyZr]

Now that is, very ,very cheap.

I wonder how much trade in I'd get on my car

To add: Whats the crack with the classifieds anyway? Vehicle Weight:1830 I take it thats the gross weight, not kerb.

all over the parish mate. low mileage titanium ones seem to be £17k, mid teens mileage titanium ones are around £16k.

the last few have sold quick though so the few dealers that are interested in them have jumped the prices up a bit.

mate bought one with 20k miles last week for £12k straight (the one that was linked in the PH front page article), no cage but renault supplied one for £1500 & it took all of half an hour to fit- not a bad car for £13.5k

the owners are a strange bunch though-i've had 3 deals agreed only for the seller to pull out & change their mind on selling.

I'd say so although its still a lot of dollar for a 2 year old french car that has potentially been used as a track day car.

A friend of mine has just invested in a 335d and had it remapped upto 340bhp. Its rapido now. Stageringly quick top end...

Its French, should be worth much less than that.

Isn't that a cat C ??

It's french, it will break down all the time!

It's french, it will rattle!

BMWs are for people who are keen on all show and very little go (despite what the nice people at the ECU tuners who are happy to take your money say) French cars are for people who just like cars that put a massive grin on your face. The end.

Lordy. Only 10K as well Maybe more than meets the eye with this one, had damage repaired?

What's the craic then, need something more practical than the 4M?

I still can't decide if i want to go 3M or 911 but then i spotted one of the above on the street week before last and thought it looked great.

[SLW79]

Calm down, calm down!
I'm a lover of all cars that go fast! Had the pleasure back in the day of driving an origianl 172 Cup. Amazing car and great fun with revvy engine so imagine the Megane is even better. Each to their own but I would never pay £16-£17k for a car that may have been driven how my friend and I drove the Cup 172. These things drive better fast so this in turn encourages them to be ragged! If money was no object I would consider one ;-)

The craic is I wish I'd never sold my old one to buy the yellow 993

Sold the Z4MC now so I really need to sort something out, walking sucks
