Peugeot 3008 buying advice

[Lasantha Jayasinghe]

Hey Guys,

I'm planning to buy Peugeot 3008 (2019) GT-Line. I've been using Japanese vehicles so far, would like you get your feedback for following areas. 

1. Maintenance cost (services ,parts etc)

2. Spare parts availability 

3. Reliability

 

Thanks.

A chap who lives in our street has one . He never takes care of the vehicle. Park it under direct sunlight for all 7 days of the week. I think the car has been around 2 years now but still it seems ok for me when passing by. He is a kind of a "loku line" person, so never went to check the car and have a chat. The engine is a 3 cylinder one, so it sounds very coarse when passing by.

Other than that, the car is still new in Sri Lankan environment and only a few people have gone for it. So hope there will be only a handful of people with the experience here in SL. But people from other countries have praised for it's comfort, performance and design.

Anyway, maintenance would be an issue if you live far away from Colombo. Sourcing parts could be an issue and at the same time will be a bit expensive to maintain than japanese vehicle. Even the 406 in our area has to bring down oil filters, airfilters from Colombo for each service. Since the car is new, you won't be getting any major issues, so better give it a shot!
