Megane R26 Ultra Blue 2008 - 50k Miles - £8995 - Extensive Recent Work/History - Huge Spec

Thought I would see if there’s any interest on here before I put it up for sale properly on eBay.

** For Sale **

Renault Megane R26 – Ultra Blue – Build Number 3296
Current mileage ~ Low Miles 50,750 (garaged so shouldn’t rise)
HPI Clear & No Outstanding Finance - 2 Keys


The car is in fantastic condition for its age with just a few age-related marks here and there, this is definitely one of the better ones and has clearly been very well looked after by each of its owners. It has always had high praise from any garage that has worked on it.


The interior is in excellent condition with no wear to the Recaro front seats whatsoever, the rear seats are brand new leather ones from the Lux model that someone had in storage, some very subtle carbon dipped parts & the apple car play screen make the interior feel a lot more modern (see full list below) **I will upload interior photos when I am home**


The car has Full-Service History with the most recent service/major work as follows;

Things to note
As with all cars (I want to be as honest as possible) there a couple of things to point out:
· EML Light is on sometimes due to the Single Mass Flywheel, you can have a map tweak to sort this out I just haven't got around to it and it hasn't bothered me to be honest.

· There is a bit of lacquer peel on the drivers door which I have tried to picture - one small bit just under the window plastic near the wing mirror, a small bit further down and some at the bottom near the sill - I have been quoted £350 to sort this (from a proper bodyshop) but I just don't feel it needs doing as you don't really notice it – See photos

· Would benefit from a new rubber front splitter, all clips intact and fitted properly, just a few marks from speed bumps, they are about £65 from Renault I just haven't got around to ordering one as I don't notice it much.

Summary

There is a folder full of parts receipts with the car backing up the front end/suspension refresh, engine parts etc and all of the recent work carried out, along with photos of the work in progress. Please see photos

The car is mechanically perfect and I don’t think you will find one at this mileage, that drives this well, having had almost everything replaced in the last few thousand miles. These cars are getting older now and the full refresh has definitely tightened the car up to just how it was from factory – if not better!

Genuine reason for the sale, I have 2 cars, a daily and the R26, I’m just going to sell both and have one car which will suit my current lifestyle better. Will be sad to see the car go; they really don’t make them like this anymore.


Price - £8995.00 FIRM – Bank Transfer Only
Location – Barnsley, South Yorkshire.


I am not interested in any offers or swaps, any received will be politely ignored. I am in no rush at all to sell the car, it is currently clean and in my garage, I am happy for it to stay there if the right buyer doesn’t come along.

Any genuine buyers I am more than happy to answer any questions that you might have, provide more photos, collect you from the local train station.

** Please note - I am away until Monday night, but any viewings can commence from Tuesday afternoon **
