Peugeot 407

Post by jasper5 »

My wife wants to replace our 406 Rapier with either a 407 or a Saab 9-3.

Anyone have any experience/opinions on the 407? Good car/ bad car/troublesome? etc.

Any input gratefully received.

That's been reported a lot, from as early as about 30k :shock:

Thanks guys, the clutch thing is known in the trade, strangely, I went to my mot place this morning, they had one in for a clutch with 40,000 miles on.It's a DMF type and the bill will be around £950.

Speaking of clutches, my mate at the mot garage just got a flyer from Puegeot Trade Club....50% off new clutches, I haven't got this flyer yet.

swiss, you are a bad man :D :cheesy: :twisted:
