Renault To Go - BobbyG
Has anyone any experience of buying cars from the above? Seems to be a fixed price, you get the car delivered to your dealer. However, are the dealer network happy with these? Do they get good profit from them or will your Trade In suffer dramatically as a result?

The prices seem very keen, even better than the cars on sale at the dealers. However, the definition of a Renault To Go car is (from their website)

WE KNOW THE CARS AND VANS:
The unique element of the scheme is that these nearly new cars and vans are delivered fully prepared direct from Renault. They are in fact cars and vans owned by Renault and have been used as management or press demonstration vehicles by Renault UK, or they are cars and vans that have been used on short term contracts with some of the countries leading rental companies. Either way, we know the full history, we can validate the mileage, we can vouch for the quality and, as a result, we can guarantee that what we are selling you is the very best nearly new car or van.

So you may be lucky and get a car from a Renault Manager, alternatively, you may get one that has been trashed by a member of the press (wonder if that includes the Megane from Top Gear airbag test), or an ex hire car which has been driven by hundreds of people in its short life. This kind of disagrees with the posts in the Top Gear thread that said all press vehicles were scrapped?

Any thoughts / experience?
