Peugeot 308

[Dilshan_5]

Hi friends,

A friend is interested in buying the above car as a second vehicle. It is a 308 s model and YOM is 2010. Anything specific that he should look out for when inspecting the car. Also kindly share any Pros and Cons of the vehicle and the agent in Sri Lanka. Any other alternative suggestions are also welcome.

Main Requirements

1.  Hatchback 

2. 1300cc engine or above

3. Good ride comfort

4. YOM 2000 or newer is preferred. 

 Inspected a few Mazda Demios for sale but most were abused with little or no maintenance history.

Some engine’s had issues which made it go boom in about 60k kms. The SL pug fb group is very informative.

Thank you very much, when you say engine issues is it because of bad maintenance or a fault of the engine design it self. 60k is a very low mileage for an engine to go out. Will check the fb group as well.

Design fault of the 1.6 engines. Rebuilds can cost 400k. Most were replaced free by the agent. Best get it checked out.
