I never had a hope of getting my full name without tonnes of numbers following, so mine is kinda nicknamey but I still use it for business
Hey just wondering about a car I'm looking to buy and hoping somebody could shed some light on if it's decent or not. It's a Renault Megane Dynamique 2 door convertible auto that has done 63,000km and its 2007 model. I'm looking at it for $10,700 and just wondering if it's any good or is it a bit of a lemon? Like, are those cars good to run and whatnot? Any tips or knowledge would be great! (As it is the first time I'm spending that amount of money)
Stopped reading here, top notch car, go for it and you won't regret it
Yeah? Oh thank god
it is just so lovely to drive but I wanted to know if it'll last. Thanks for that. Feel a bit better handing over the cash
Didn't know they rated well. I thought Renault didn't have the best reputation over the past 10-15 years.

Yeah? Oh thank god
Oh dear.
Not recommended?
Here's a little review:http://www.drive.com.au/used-car-re...t-megane-series-ii-200607-20080822-14syn.html
Hmm some food for thought that's for sure
Thanks for that, I've been trying to find a review

Search engines are tricky. I often search for cars and end up at BigFooty
I genuinely got stuck cause it kept coming up with the hatchback and newer models. Just asked on here if anyone knew anything about them because my family are useless in regards to any car other than a bloody Volvo and was happily surprised when I got the link to the car review
When it comes to buying a car you need to ask yourself some questions:
- What's your budget?
- What are you going to mostly use it for? i.e. work, city driving, HWY or just weekends
- What insurance policy will you choose? Full comp or third party? (should also be included in your budget)
- Do you care about comfort, style or power?
- How much to service the car? This includes labour and parts.
- Are there other similar cars out there that much cheaper to own?
- Do I listen to BALKAN? The answer is always no.
Tip: If the owner or dealership is selling their car for what seems to be a reasonable price but has done near or just over the milestone kilometres (100,000km,200,00km, etc) then ask if it has had a major service done. If yes ask for the receipt. If no then walk away because it will cost ~$1000 for a major service ($2000 for me. Dat water pump
), unless you're prepared to pay the extra cost right away.

Thank Krom that story did not take off. It annoys me how basically twitter comments become news stories.

They depreciate badly. Just from a finance point of view that's a negative.

As I just posted above, another factor to consider is re-sale and trade in value.

If you lived in a housing estate where the residents were required to give DNA samples of their dogs for dog poop offenses, would you still live there?

Yes. I don't own a dog and am unlikely to ever own a dog.

But what if you did own a dog?
Why is it that when you need to poop, the closer you get to the toilet, the harder it seems to be in holding it in?
