Peugeot 405 - Any Good - Alf Hooker
I have read with some interest the story of the Citroen / Peugeot Heater matrix fiasco.

I have been offered by a friend, who is a mechanic, his Peugeot 405 Estate GLX Normally aspirated Diesel M registered with A/C and with 86000 miles for £2500 His has had a new matrix fitted approx 1 year ago.

What are the other known weaknesses of this type of vehicle ?

Is this a fair price ?

Alf

Have a look in the car by car breakdown. It will probably tell you all you need to know other than value.

£2,500 is about £1,000 too much.

Alf,

I never cease to be amazed at the high priced deals friends will offer each other.

HJ is right, about £1500 gets you a real choice in 405 or Xantia TDs.

David,

Quite true, the genuine offers might be good for that final day of reckoning in front of St Peter one hopes.

As I said in the dealer profit marins thread, everyone moans about dealers, the most unscrupulous are in my opinion the general public.

Cheers,
Stuart

the TD is much better than the N/A in the 405. I also agree with HJ that 2500 is a bit steep.

If £2500 can get you a 98S mondeo at auction (see auction report) then what does that make a snail-slow Pug 405 worth? Almost nothing I would say.
