Financially perhaps, but what about the spiritual cost - the damage caused to his soul by driving such joyless heaps?
have you ever driven one , they really are fun , not the same as something sporty kind of fun but still fun try it if you ever get the chance . i wouldn't want one mind but can remember the fun i had in one many years ago with 8 people on board on private land hilarious

Years ago my friend's dad ran a small import parts supply shop in New York and became well known as somewhat of a Peugeot specialist. Peugeots in the US have no resale value, so when owners came to change their cars, not even Peugeot main dealers wanted them as part-exs. Of course a private sale was unheard of so very often he would have former customers turn up at his shop, just leave him the keys and the car and walk away. As a result, everyone in the family drove Peugeots that they got for free. My friend's mum had a diesel 504 automatic which was so slow that entering a motorway took careful timing, but nothing could beat that comfortable drive...for free.

So what did the customers say to the Peugot dealers about the likelihood of buying another one when they were told that their old one was worth tuppence? (sorry - two cents)

I don't think the dealers were too worried about what customers would say as Peugeot's presence in the US was in a rapid decline by that point and dealers were probably more worried about how they could wash their hands of the marque rather than selling another car which would only be another warranty headache. I haven't seen an operational US Peugeot main dealer since about 1988, the last new Peugeot model being the 405.
BTW, I figured out the tuppence...its the shillings and f***hings that have me baffled 8-).
