• Renault Megane Coupe - Shocked by Renault retail group Liverpool 11 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  important;">He explained that he was not aware of the delve on the bonnet, but made a offer of £100 to drive the car away and that it would only cost £25 to fix the body work, i disagreed telling him that it would cost a lot more. Regarding the Fuel, there was only £10 in the tank, he tried to tell me there was £25, plus there was no car mats!!! All in all, I am shocked regarding Renault customer care, I should have been told about the delves in the body work, There should not expect a comment saying well its not a new car, Plus after arranging fuel and mats in with the deal, these should have been taken care off.
