I do, but I would never ever buy a new car myself. Such a ripoff.

Just get one that is a few months/up to 2 years old and pay many many many thousands less.

I got an ex-demonstration car 6 weeks ago, and I saved £1400 from the new price. I got a Seat Ibiza in the colour I wanted and it meant the suspension was worn in. The car is 9 months old, I love it.

You sound happy. That is worth the price. Good luck with it. It looks good, is that the actual color?

Congratulations ARG! I think your new car is really cool. I saw lots of mini-compacts like this when I was in Mexico City last month. Mexico has many makes and models that we don't have in the U.S. They are very small in exterior dimensions but roomy inside. I wish we had some of these same models in the U.S. But alas... we are addicted to our absurdly huge SUV's and pick-up trucks...


I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't work for the airline.

Nice.
If I were the one to buy a Peugeot , I'd go for 206CC.

Wow, I've always wanted to have that car. It's very beautiful.

Although, ARGinMIA, I must warn you something. I read not so long ago that at least here in Chile, the Peugeot 307 is second in the most "paneros" ranking ( I don't know how to exactly translate that word, but it means that your cars break down often) right after the Peugeot 206. So be prepared.


But again, it's an extremely gorgeous car, so enjoy it.

Not only in Chile, but that was also reported recently here in Colombia where you see them all over the place. Don't know why, but never expected to read something like that from that specific machine... beautiful.

Hi.. thanks for the comments.. Lan.. Ford's Fiesta and all the FIAT line are more prone to be in the mechanic's shop.. remember also that the car is made here so parts are somehow cheaper than most others.. yes.. its the same color as the picture.. BTW Lan_Fanatic... how much do they ask for this car there in Chile? its exactly 20k (USD) here

ARGinMIA, if I'm not mistaken, the version you bought is the most expensive of the 307 series, and that specific model costs around 18000 US$ here

¡unos ganan y otros pierden!!!

Cordobeses and mendocinos usually get far cheaper fares when travelling with LAN to the US than we chileans do...so there you go.

Funny how the negativity started with Flight152's post? All we need is LOT767-300ER to join in on the negativity.

Peugeot makes some very nice looking cars with distinctive styling. Congratulations on your new car!
