He's providing a service. And he's hardly going to retire off those profits is he!!!. If people are willing to pay that price for them then so be it.

I have bought a couple of things of him in the past quite a bit cheaper than Renault prices. He's a genuine guy.

is reselling genuine parts legal?..
surely th eparts dept will get suspicious that over 12 months one individual has bought a substantial amount of gear knobs, and/or an individual is abusing the trade price scheme that renault offer to its workers, by setting up a shop and profiting from it.

RIP OFF

LOL

RENO = 2.50 + VAT = 2.94

If you can get to your local dealer and pick one up without using 20p's worth of petrol then good look to you I say. Must be one hell of an economical car. :roll:

I cycle to my dealer Nik, and they give me 20% discount so its cheaper still. Cheers anyway.


Maybe someone should notify renault that someone is selling their products on websites as new.

Well Gunner, I dont get my stuff on the staff discount sceme anymore, they stopped that I now have an account, as to it being wrong, I think not are all the garages that repair renaults using genuine parts doing something wrong I think not.
Dealers are bound to retail prices that are set by reno, but independants can charge as they wish, at the end of the day its your choice if you wana buy from joe bloggs or a dealer.

Anyway why so uptight, everyone is out to make a bit of money, I'm sure you wana make a little bit and 50 odd pence aint much is it!

So chill out and worry about the real things in life FFS

is it really worth getting anal about it?

just seems you are trying to have a cruisade with no direction?

Mikes a top fella, and has been a brilliant help for me and many others. He did someone I know a set of brakes for a 172 for about 60% off.
