Buy a Renault at cost plus £1

After last week's news that Renault is offering a free electric Twizy with its Laguna and Espace models in Spain, now comes the revelation that some Renault dealers in the UK are offering cars at cost price, plus £1.

According to The Daily Telegraph, some of the French carmaker's outlets in the south of England are letting cars go for the same prices as Renault paid for them in the first place. All the franchisees ask is that for every vehicle they sell at cost, the buyer hands them a £1 coin.
