  1. Hi just signed up as looking to buy an rs250 cup in the near future and I ha e seen one but was seeing if anyone had any info on it or could give me any pointers? (I have had a look online but can't find a buyer guide)
    This is the car I am on about:

  2. This was my old car
    Did you buy it
     
  3. Yeah I did in the end,picked it up yesterday :smile: did you have anything done to it?i notice it's had midbox delete and also the lack of service history was a worry but presumed it had been done privately? engine seemed quiet and smooth enough to make me not that worried though tbh
     
  4. Was a full book full of receipts and stuff
    Serviced it myself like I have all my old high performance cars focus rs subaru civic type r Nissan pulsar I like to get to know my car.
    The red lip is just plastidip and can be removed also just had its balljoints done by a specialist
     
  5. Ah they must of got rid of the receipts,it looked to be enthusiast owned so just presumed servicing had been done privately,when I went to view the car the lip had been changed or plasitdipped back to black.did you have the timing belt done?as noticed it was getting to the point where it was due.
     
  6. Christ that's cheap (Lack of proof or service history perhaps?)
    Good buy OP, looks a nice Megane.
     
  7. Thanks :smile: yeah I think that was why the price was low but only found out when the deal was nearly done and my heart was already set on it,also checked and found out it has the r.s monitor aswell which they didn't mention in the advert or didn't know about.

  8. Well now you've found the previous owner and enthusiast it can put your mind at ease. Again, good buy that. Evans have a yellow Megane RS, recaros and monitor with 85k miles at £10k.

    Get a memebers ride up and keep us updated.
     
  9. I part exchanged it in July and it has moved around the country within Evans Halshaw think in the end I got £7750 for it
    So they will have lost quite a bit of money
    Which makes me happy haha
    Started out in York, can't believe they havnt kept the folder with everything in
    Did you get all the mot's
    Forgot to add it's got a kn air filter too or should have
     
  10. Haha yeah it was in Peterborough or Portsmouth and then I got it transferred up near Leeds, No I didn't receive a folder or any previous MOT's (I checked the previous ones online before I bought it though) but will ask them to see if they can chase the folder up as need to take it back as ABS light has flicked on a couple of times (only for a second or two but still worth asking them to sort it out) and to take it back so they can put 12 months MOT on it.
    Thanks I was going to check at the weekend to see if it had one in before I bought one but good to know
     
  11. Check your brake fluid levels, common when pads wear.

    Great guy to deal with above
    These are the pads on the front and are nearly new the front brake discs got put on earlier this year
    Also had the coolant flushed and changed along with the thermostat
    What tyres are on the front have they put new ones on
    Can't remember if it was the esp light or abs light that came on when it had crap tyres on
    Rectified it's self with Michelin super sports on
     
  13. Classic oversight by the trade. They have all the receipts that will boost the value of the asset and validate enthusiast ownership. What do they do ? They lose them...

  14. A joke useless twats even had the old tax discs from my time owning her
    Did they fix the drivers side drl
     
  15. Yeah they have put new ones on the front but are only cheap budgets,I told them I wasn't happy with them and tried using them as a bargaining point but they were not having any of it So they will be coming off in the new year and getting replaced.

    Both the DRL's are not working but ringing up and getting it booked in for MOT as it only came with 6 months and they are putting 12 months on and at same time telling them the intermittent ABS light needs sorting along with the DRL's and the o/s/f headlight is misted up,all easy enough to sort but might aswell get them to do it.
