Renault Megane 1.4 mot'd March £250

[aldo135]

Bought this from Iain Split_Pin in March, it's a great wee car but my Volvo is playing up so need something bigger with 7 seats, and might have something lined up, again from this fine forum! See Iain's much better advert here http://autoshite.com/topic/31271-2001-renault-megane-mk1-14-£300/

 

All I have done to it since March is put petrol in, and I've been getting 39-43mpg, much better than the Volvo! It goes pretty well for the engine size and has been perfectly reliable. Only negatives are the wonky fuel gauge and hairline crack on an abs ring, as mentioned in the previous advert. I'd like £250ono

 

The car is in Edinburgh, but the one I'm looking at is in London, so don't let distance put you off, in fact bids from down south are encouraged, to help me get to my next car!

[Split_Pin]

This car tore me away from Vauxhalls and into Renault ownership. It gave me 2 years perfect service and is probably the best car I have owned. It's a tidy wee thing too.

 

Sadly Mrs_Pin said no and wanted me to get something different, otherwise I would have welcomed it back in a heartbeat.

 

Hope it stays in the fold.

MOT?

 

These are much better cars than they get credit for, fairly easy to work on, handle OK. Radio fantastic for the era, the 1.4 16v a fairly quick engine as well, the one I used did loads to the gallon.

 

Surprisingly durable as well as they don't rust half as bad as a Focus. I'd have one in a heartbeat.

[Split_Pin]

Mot is to March.

[aldo135]

Mot'd to March. Agree they are underrated, I had been put off them in the past by pub "experts" but this is my second one and both have been great cars

[Split_Pin]

Both my neighbour and uncle had one. The latter usually said most cars were shit but the Megane was an exception!

[sierraman]

The Laguna 2 was shit but these like I say were a good car, most got chucked 'cause Renault m8'

 

Easiest oil change ever on these.

 

Liked them most in the green they did on the higher spec versions. Mmm those soft velour seats!!

[oldcars]

That's a gift, belts been done too from memory.

[Split_Pin]

They have, with receipt.

would Sunny Donny appear on your new collection map?. Easy access to both M1 and A1 from here

[Arthur Foxhake]

I would like to register interest in this.

My labourer needs a car at the moment.

I live just outside London, NW of the M25, near Watford/Hemel Hempstead. hp51qx.

I am interested in the proviso that no one above buys it and you could drop it off near Birmingham on your way down?

 

Serious buyer  

[aldo135]

Thanks for the offers but typically the wee Megane has found out about being put up for sale and had a few niggles in the last day or 2! Tempted fate by saying I'd spent no money on it... Firstly a puncture, a minor fight with the boot lock and last night heading to our end of month meet the offside rear brake drum started dragging! 2 of the guys up here had expressed an interest at the meet, but I need to sort things out with it first.

 

Will drop the for sale tag for now but let you know if it becomes available.

 

Cheers

I’m certain cars know when they are on borrowed time.

[Split_Pin]

Whats up with the boot lock Alan?

I’m certain cars know when they are on borrowed time.

This is absolutly a fact.

 

Skoda number two in my car history overheated and did a full on OMGHGF whilst my missus and I were driving to the local Nissan garage to look at a new car.

You know how the catch was a bit loose and you had to push it back into place? It just won't sit right now for some reason. Looking online it's meant to have wee lugs that hold it in place. Scrappies will do one for a tenner, no big deal
