Just flicking through the Auto Trader yesterday, and noticed two Clio Cups for sale:
1) 2003 52 plate 15K miles Mint condition = £9,500 ono
2) 2002 02 plate 7K miles as above = £10,500
Being as these are £13,000 new, I thought these had depreciated quite badly!! Sporty Clio's traditionally seem to hol their value quite well e.g. all Williams models and late well acred for 16v models.
Could these become the new performance bargain??

The predicted values for the cup look pretty poor, i would expect to pick one up for less than 6 grand in 3 years time. The Williams has a greater 'cult' following it would seem, so the demand for unmolested/ slightly modified cars is great enough to warrant good residuals, although they have a habit of falling apart in your hands. Great little hatches though.

£9k for cup or 172 new? - I don't think so. But you can certainly get cups for £11k-£11.5k and 172s for £12.5k-£13k. I paid £10,500 for my 3 month old 3000 mile ex demo cup from a renault main dealer 4 months ago, and so I'm quite happy to see that I've lost less than a grand so far.
The last count published on cliosport.net about a month ago gave a figure of 1300 cups sold in the UK since Sept last year; reckon there might end up being 2500 by the end of the production run in October: That will make it pretty rare by mainstream standards, and bodes well for future values.

Well, there's now way you can get one for £9k new as I've just bought (ordered) one for £10.6k (18% off) and that's the cheapest I could find a brand new, not pre-registered, full UK spec car for...
I could get a 172 Sport for £12.3k (also 18% off) too, again from a UK dealer, not an import or a pre-reg.
However, this aint an offer open to all, as I got it off my mate who's the sales manager of my local dealer and his Dad owns the place.
Show me proof where you CAN get them for such a low price and I'll believe it!

That the dealer next to the Petrol station then Rick
The Rallye goes on Saturday(private sale), then I have a few days to wait before the Cup arrives, but I am borrowing Adrian's 172 while he's on his honeymoon, as he gets wed this Friday!
Dales has a Cup you know?
What does he think of it?!
PS just emailed your Nildram account, you still on that?

Since his Scoob was nicked from Fence. 
We took it on the last Dales Run over Yorkshire way, and easily kept up with the Scoob's in the group, even in the "Twisties".
Supposed to be hard work in the wet though.

Yeah, I drove one last summer when they were just out and I nearly bought one then, but seeing as I was in the middle of buying a new house, I left it and went for the 306 Rallye as it was 1/2 the price.
But, now I am in a position to go for one and at that price, it's a bargain!

I've heard the standard Conti's aint the best wet weather tyre though, so that might be some of the problem.
But, if you think a Cup is bad, you wanna try my R5 GT Turbo in the wet...

Need something potent to keep up with all you guys round here - the GTi-6 should put us on though if we get one.
