Just bought a Pug 406!

Post by Zippokovich »

Just got back from Glasgow, £1300 lighter, but with the documents to prove i now own my very own 406!

I'm going to pick it up on Friday, its a:
Pale green (not too attractive but hey!)
51 plate
1.8l petrol
LX
Had 2 owners
done 60,000 miles
In immaculate condition inside and out, no nicks or anything
Image

I test drove it down the great western road in Glasgow, which is very bussy and very stressfully to dive on and it was great, really relaxing, really comfy and despite what everyone has said, the engine pulled very well (by my standards anyway).

So on Friday i officially leave the Pug 306 club and enter the 406!

I'm 18 and have just left school by the way so i will stride like a giant through a myriad of corsa's, festa's and c2's that everyone else i know drives (Where i'm from a 1.6 is something to be respected). 8)

Well those pics are from before it was p/x'ed to the garage where i got it. So it will have been shined up to butter up the dealer. The garage will valley it too so it will look nice. But aside from that it is in very good condition, 3rd hand, a fleet car for most of its life.

And I though that that age and size of car was well out of my age brackets price range too, but it turns out no!

Ha! Nice find!

Yeah people used to think I was the rich kid at school due to my "european w**ker car" when everyone else was getting around in Corrollas they paid the same amount for! :cheesy:

Great first car - Whats the insurance like for you being 18?

That's who I am with too, well for another week or two, where the same for 30k a year policy as a 10k policy with most other companies.

Not the best for the new car and low mileage policy thou.

Just don't go barrying up your car! Leave whats under the hood alone :)
Put some nice alloys on, some Bluey Bling and a Welton panel on. Sorted :D

Ironic isn't it how the founder of the "Welton Panel" has not fitted such an appendage to his own car :|

carry on.....

My quote is about £1000 a year, that with my dad as the main driver and 1 years no claims.

Yeah, i'll be leaving most of it standard and doing nothing to the mechanics at all.

What size are the standard wheels on these btw?
