*WANTED* Megane RS 250 CUP

Don't think you'll pick one up with Recaros/RS monitor for £9k or less, let alone low mileage. Probably looking at nearer £10k at best with lower mileage and those options. As a guide, I got the 265 pre facelift with those options and cup pack, 63 plate, 29k miles for £12.5k. Seem to be selling for good money with the options

 

There's a good reason for why you haven't found one.

You're asking for top spec and low miles all for under 9k. They don't exist.

 

Probably garages that don't know the price of them, take them in as a cheap part ex and move them on quickly for a quick little profit. You'll be very lucky to find one for that price, and I doubt it would have a good service history/be in good condition etc either. I was looking for these cars for over a year, so I'd like to say I'm very clued up on prices of different specs/ages. Recaros and RS monitor aren't the most common and are obviously what 80% of buyers want when buying this kind of car, hence why they go for so much more. So yes it's possible for £9k, but unlikely. I'd say £10k and you're more on the mark for what you're after around 60/70k miles

 

Yeah just making sure you haven't got any false hope lol... I agree, cup pack is the only essential you need for track use really, because you can put your own buckets in and will be great.

These cars on track I'm told are different league and you won't regret buying one. Just ensure it's mechanically sound and no little niggles, because after all it is French. Try and get one off here with a better suspension/tyre set up (even though they're brilliant standard)/basics upgraded such as zorst/remap/IC and you'll be keeping up with most cars on track no problem

And of course set the right budget for the specifics you want

 

There's one up for sale on here in the exact kinda spec you want without the RS monitor I think: http://rsmegane.com/threads/renault-megane-2011-rs250-cup.17646/ with the right kinda track upgrades done for you, but it is for a more realistic price. Try shooting an offer over if you're into it

 

If you’re willing to extend budget I’ve got a top spec lux with everything on 70k.

 

I think you guys are way out of touch I paid under 9K for a 60 plate 250 Cup with RS monitor, Recaro's etc in spotless condition recaro's with no wear and inside also immaculate. It has 76k miles only 2 owners and a full service history with a folder full of receipts. I just missed out on one the week before near Southampton same spec but also had a fully set of almost new adjustable bilsteins and a spare set of wheels owner wanted £9K. I have also seen a few others around that price.

 

Great value cars

 

Hi Tom,

I don’t think you’re too far off at that price, for what you’re looking to get.

I’ve been toying with selling mine again. Nearly parted with it 18 months ago, but in the end just couldn’t bring myself to...

http://rsmegane.com/threads/please-delete-not-currently-for-sale-2010-white-250-cup.14279/

I think I priced it too cheaply back then and was inundated with enquiries overnight.

But I still just can’t shake the desire for a trophy, so will probably end up selling sometime soon when the right one comes around. It’s on 65k now, and when I sell I’d be looking for somewhere between 9-10k. It’s still immaculate and has everything apart from the monitor.

Cheers.

 

There does not seem to be that many for sale either, especially with desirable options such as Cup pack, Recaros, leather, directional xenons, keyless entry and start, panoramic roof.

Once you then start to look for a colour you want they are even more limited!! Took me nearly a year to find one in the spec and colour I wanted.

 

Panoramic roof, desirable lol, really?

 

Hi, just reading through this thread ... I’m the person that bought the white one off that car dealer! Reading this and looking round I think I defo touched lucky as they do go for more... as one of you other guys said the car dealers haven’t a clue what they are!! The bloke was saying to me “ mate what is this car please tell me what it does I’ve never had so much interest in any of my cars I’ve ever sold.. showed me all the emails and said he’s phone ain’t stopped ringing I was just lucky to be first and get first viewing ! :-)

 

Personally I would say so yes. Have you been in one with a panoramic roof? Some people are not that fussed about xenons either or keyless entry/start. I am not fussed about RS monitor and a lot that have it don't seem to use of it.

It was a general statement in relation to optional extras. Cup pack and Recaro seats are the main ones.

 

I'd say the pan roof would make one more undesirable then desirable to be honest.

 

This ^ i hate them on any car, but i appreciate you were listing the extra options, i just would not include pan roof in the list of desirables myself. RS monitor is still well worth getting, only time i have used mine is to change the throttle map, which its wroth every penny for, and then occasionally i use it, just to show my mates lol

 

Looks like I am in the minority with the roof then!! It's the only thing I don't have on mine, which would have been nice to have.

 

I’m in the desirable camp. But hardcore race drivers would not like
