Peugot 406 - 1999 - yay or nay?

silverwex · 2008-12-29 20:41:07

Hey, Just need a cheap and, relatively, reliable car for the next 6 months to get me to work and back. Looked at a LOT of cars today but found a 1999 406 for e1350. NCT'd to end of next year, running grand, 97k on the clock. Garage owner said he'd take my Megane in p/ex for it - maybe give me 300 - 400 off price of Peugeot…

I agree thats it is/was one of the nicest looking family cars made. I know a guy who has a 96 406 with somewhere between 150-200k - can't quite rememeber what it was last time he said but he's planning on running it into the ground. He has never had any trouble with it. He's so happy with it he bought his wife the facelifted estate model. I think they're both diesels.

With most topics about French or Italians cars, for every post saying how bad and unreliable the car is there's a another post saying its the best car they've ever had. Seems to be all positive so far for the 406. I was actually considering getting one a few years back but I wasn't convinced about its reliability. It looks like I was wrong.
