I'm also interested in this. Seem like quite a car for the money you can get them for thesedays!

same as very interested at the moment! almost bought an F1 version from renault romford a few weeks ago!

at the end of the day its a renault, so its not going to be fantastically reliable and obviously there are some horror stories. where are you buying it from? if its from a main dealer then they may do a warranty, if not, warranty direct provide comprehensive cover for about 550 a year. depends how confident you feel with not having to spend that much in repairs.

other things to consider are to check renault megane forums for likely repairs like cambelt change intervals and servicing prices etc. this way you will work out the likely costs.

its a hell of a lot of car for the money, estimates reckon 6 ish to 60 and they handle brilliantly well! you can throw the nose into corners at almost insane speeds and they somehow hold on.

hope ive helped a bit.

I've had my R26 for three years and 35k miles and not had a thing go wrong with it, electrical or otherwise. The stiff Cup suspension can make the dash creak occasionally but oddly that appears to have stopped now I'm not driving in Northamptonshire any more.
