I have just got my car today. see other post. Reserve judgement on whether I am happy or not.
However, it may be of interest to you...
My original quote from avanti cars was £14,001 for solid paint on a 225 cup. I hummed, hawed and hummed again. Went toReg Vardy with the quote at a local dealer and they agreed to match it. The deal went south unfortunately but they were just going to do the same thing that all the internet car co's do. Sell through a fleet side of the business.
Went back to avanti and oredred a facelift 225 cup. It's arrived, it's not clean but the facelift was £14001 plus the paint - black.
It is however, a genuine renault uk model. It is however inconvenient to take it back to the supplying dealer. Just got to live with that.
One other point, worth bearing in mind. They do something sneaky with the reg doc. It is not a pre-reg, it's not an import but...on the reg doc the name of the registered keeper is ME. The address of the registered keeper is c/o A third party fleet company at my address ie c/o Fleet Management Services 123 main street, toy town. The instruction is that you write to the DVLA to change the address to merely 123 main street toy town. This SHOULD not change the number of registered keepers as you are only changing address.
I will let you know if this works.
