Im wondering if renault dealers would take on the aftersales/warranty work

I think all the Renault dealers are also getting Dacia as well. Certainly the ones round here are.

Wish the base models were available in a colour other than white - black plastic bumpers, steel wheels and wind up windows are great!

There isnt much choice on the superduper ones either-theres a metallic brown on the home versions thats nice

I loved my C15 because it was such low tech releif (and under 5K OTR !)after a MK3 astra that flashed up engine management lights if you so much as blinked too hard.
Ive since 'progressed' to this all electronic computer on wheels and although its a great van I just get this uneasy feeling Im on borrowed time with it...

Just wondering if the advertised prices have a lot of add-ons which need to be purchased also.

I dont think so - it seems to be like the citroen.uk configorator but less complicated.
The prices quoted start with the 2x4 (a bit pointless) base model.
You choose the petrol or diesel then the colours, spec levels then 'packs'.
I haven't looked side by side, but i imagine the top options price for this 4x4 is near what you'd pay for a reasonably spec'ed Multispace.

:eek: OMG you can change that bloody avatar before I speak to you again ya bloodynesbit that ye are

Q. How is Dacia pronounced?

Dacia is pronounced “Datch-a”.



Q. Where does Dacia come from?

Dacia was founded in Romania in 1966. The Renault Group bought the Romanian car manufacturer Dacia in September 1999. Through shared technology and production methods, Renault has helped Dacia become a global icon in its own right, selling just under 350,000 vehicles worldwide in 2011 and over 1.8 million since 2004.



Q. Where are Dacia cars built?

Dacia holds production facilities across the globe, including Romania and Morocco. UK versions of Dacia Duster will be built at a Renault-Nissan Alliance factory in Chennai, India. Sandero and Sandero Stepway are built in Pitesti, in Romania.



Q. What is the link between Renault and Dacia?

The Renault Group wholly bought Dacia in 1999. Dacia is now a brand of the Renault Group. Dacia vehicles use useful and proven technology from the Renault-Nissan Alliance. Whilst Dacia is a separate franchise from Renault, all current Renault dealerships are also Dacia retailers in the UK.

An article in The Sun motoring pages today said that the average spend on a new Dacia Duster in the UK is £13,300.

Why does there need to be a catch? It's based on old tech that Renault have already recouped the cost on and built in a cheap place. The reality is that cars became 'good enough' twenty years ago - so why pay extra for the R&D of a brand new model.

Thought experiment - If Citroen started building the old Berlingo again but it only cost 2/3 the price of the new one, which would you buy?

The only danger here for Renault is that I can see them cannibalising sales of Clios etc. Why bother when you can get a Sandero for £6k?
