Re: thinking of buying a 406 2.0 hdi estate

after taking a second look and a test drive its not the one for me, it sounded fine, and drove ok, the clutch seemed like it might be on its last legs, was slipping a little. some electricals were dodgy to say the least, i can see why it was dropped from £1999 to £995, the interior was ok, the seats...

Re: thinking of buying a 406 2.0 hdi estate

Yeah ive heard that mentioned before. What is it? To be honest ithink the 406 will be the one i go for. At 150k miles what should i look out for on a test drive? I like the 307 but it seems a bit too good to be true and a fair way away. Plus ive been offered a good price against the 406 on my megane.
