My beloved blue 406

Post by PugOFwar »

Hi all,

Im selling my blue peugeot 406 as the time has come to move to something a little less practical. I bought the pug a year and a half ago as something to see me thru the last term at uni, help with moving stuff back home etc.

Its been brilliant on economy and has never missed a beat. In some ways its a little silly that im selling up as the car runs perfectly. Since i bought it.. 20k miles ago, the only thing i have had to do is the Clutch (changed approx 2 months ago) and all of the rear brakes (Discs/pads/handbrake shoes). Its never not started or broken down and as above, apart from changing oil/sparks etc the only things done have been milage related.

There is 0 rust anywhere on the car and the interior has never been smoked or eaten in (have a thing about eating in cars :lol: ). The only thing that is wrong with the car... well not actually the car.. is that the remote keyfob for the central locking isnt working. I believe its the battery however ive got so used to doing it manually ive not bothered changing it.

Car Spec ;-

1996 2.0ltr 16v
95k miles
12 months MOT
6 months Tax
Elec windows
Pas
Abs
Driver and passanger airbags
5 Speed manual
Elec sunroof
Good quality sound system
Remote central locking
Alarm
Keycode imboliser
Really good condition inside and out

Mods ;-
17" MasItaly Alloys
205/40/17 Toyos all round
Twin cone induction kit
Cobra 5" Exhaust system
CD/DVD Player (no screen)

I do have all of the standard parts, all four wheels/airfilter/radio etc. So these can with on the car if prefered. Comes with a big folder full of service history, receipts and manuals.

Please get in touch if you have any questions, I am based in Leicester however i dnt mind travelling. Plenty more pics available upon request.

Im looking for around £1000 for it or if anyone has anything for a swap/px please let me know.

Thanks all for looking :D

I thought it looked familiar. Back then he said he was hoping for the better part of a grand. Talk about inflation!

Have edited to a more.. Realistic price :lol: ... I had completely forgot the previous post and what people said. I dont really want to go much lower than a grand though, i reckon the car is worth that.

If you really think the remote problem is the battery get it changed, if I was buying the car and you told me that I'd think "yeah, right, I bet the whole system's fooked and it costs a grand to fix, that's why you haven't bothered".

And the 2nd one - one of the cheaper ones - has been listed since november. It doesn't matter what a dealer thinks it's worth, if you want to sell a car you have to put the price near what punters think it's worth.

2 years ago I bought a near perfect (just a few supermarket battle scars) exec turbo for less than any of those cars. 100k miles, top trim level, powerful engine. If I needed a 406 and saw the same ebay ad today, I'd pay 7-800 tops. In fact just the other month I bought another exec turbo for under £200.

Lots of people are just keeping onto them as the resale value makes it more worth running into the ground. Take mine for instance. If I sort out the dodgy idling on mine, I'd like to think I'd be able to sell it on here for over £500 because everyone knows how rock solid it's been for me, but I'd only get about £200 for it elsewhere due to the astronomical mileage.
