Re: Potential ebay bargain
Why would you not want a Petrol?
We've seen the 2.0 petrol on here do much more miles that that, and given the engine is comparatively simple compared to a Diesel it'd be fine for a low-mile driver.
As long as it's had plenty of fresh oil through it then there will be no bore-wear or valve train wear like the old days.

Not good value, especially considering the low interior spec, and wtf's going on with that gearstick?

Re: Potential ebay bargain
My guess (and this is entirely a guess) is that they probably needed those lights to enter another market (some country with odd lighting requirements perhaps?) and the technology available at the time meant that they couldn't physically fit the needed specification lights into the existing holeGary406 wrote:i dont understand why peugeot would make an additional light that needs to be cut into the bumper .

Re: Potential ebay bargain
the coupes quite cheap but 162k seems a bit high for a petrol.
But i still like petrols, its better when you want to have a bit of fun.
