The trophy has been in auto trader for a week now had a few phone calls but no one out to look at it . I gave it a good clean inside and out and then went for a drive when i got back i realised why am i selling it i sorted all the rattles its fast so much fun spotless body work and have not had a problem with it for months it took me and the wife from Cambridge to Cornwall and back doing 38.8 miles to the gallon in nice comfy seats . so i am going to keep it and enjoy it to the full .

You know it makes sense.

I looked at your car and would have had a look but the main reasons were.

looked at your history on here and it put me off.

1: stone chiped bonnet
2: scratched windscreen
3: dealer chiped wheels
4: faulty starting with no resolve from renault.


so I looked else where as a few for sale.

some times its best not to post on forums about faults on your own car:)

Two bits of good news in one thread. One man decides to keep his Trophy and another announces his purchase! Another number for the register as well! :D

LOL, I won't be selling my car to any of you guys and IF I ever sell it I will spend a day deleting all my old posts, not that anything on here that any Trophy owner hasn't experienced/done.

Good Luck on your new purchase MrD06 and I trust you'll have fun on your polished marble runway (to avoid stonechips) and your Renault technician on hand each morning to warm the car for you just in case it might not start first twist of the key one time in twenty.

No one knows what has happened to the one you've bought do they? Because they didn't register on here, it could have done 7K miles as a trackday car!

So Keeper's a Keeper. Lucky for you, Nik would have had to change your username to Splitter! You won't regret it.

All the posts i have put on about my car are honest things that have happened they have all been put right by people i can trust ( not a renault dealer ) thanks to the rest for your input on a used car its nice to now there are good people about . If i had not posted on here i bet Mr d06 if you had come out to see it you would now be driven number 181 .

As a follow up to the chipped bonnet, a Megane 225 Cup (in the same capsicum red as our cars) owner asked his Renault garage why his car seemed to chip quite easy and their response was: its because the solid red is not as robust as the metallic colours.
