Lot of 3 year old Peugeot 307 CC's starting to come through the auctions at around £7k.
Very pretty car. Seems a steal at this money but what about the electric motors for the roof?

hello
i have a Peugeot 306 1.6 petrol, bought as my first car. it an 02 plate and i bought it in 2005.
not very reliable car, had lots of problems with it. if you look on forums and owner reviews u will see that people also have problems.
i would get something else probably japenese or german

In all fairness though, I can't see how you can say "don't buy a 307cc" because my 1.6 306 wasn't very good!
|
I can.
Peugeot and reliable electrics are as synonymous as Mugabe and successful economy.
|
|
Without wishing to sound repetitive, not had a thing wrong with my 407 n the last 13 months and that's got electric everything.
|
My comments on Peugeot electrics refer to cars 3 years and older. I don't expect even Peugeots to have electrical faults at 13 months old:-)

An ex-colleague (now retired of mine) had one an enjoyed greatly for a year or two. And then lots of problems. He got rid just before it cost him a lot of money via a part-ex on a new BMW.....

Can't agree with you madf. I have had a couple of Pug's upto 5 years old and with the exception of the computer scroll button on the end of the wiper stalk on a 206, never a problem.
I had a 307cc on hire for a long weekend and although being a nice car to look at, I wouldn't buy one. I had the 2.0 petrol and it was lethargic, could have been down to a new engine needing run in, the biggest problem was the scuttle shake though.
It made oncoming traffic look blurred while driving around Ayrshire's finest A roads.

i see where you are coming from, but these 307's are pretty bad (might be some good ones) if u you check owner review sites (parkers) the 307 gets lots of irate people
also in the topgear reliabilty study the 307 is third from the bottom.
i would advise people to stay welll clear

307CC!! Read "Technical Matters"Tho' it's a 207 they're talking about but the roof system is similar.

Hi Niallster
I just traded in a 307cc for a Mitsubishi Colt CZC. The Pug was 2.5 years old and we had owned it for 18 months.
Ours was a HDi, but only ever achieved 37 mpg. The petrol versions seem to return the low 20s. You need the 180 bhp if your going for petrol as the car is very heavy.
In 18 months the CD player and the parking sensors failed but all under warranty. The roof is a Merc design so should be OK.
It's a good cruiser, but I wouldn't recommend it for town use. Rear visibility is very restricted. The reversing light is a joke reminded me of cars I drove 30 years ago.
The drivng position is very low, I'm 6ft 3 and really didn't like it.
We got £11,000 for it and £2,000 off the Colt. The Pug was fully loaded 27,000 miles, but most Pug dealers weren't interested at all. As you say the trade is awash with petrol models. Ours was an early facelift so that and being diesel were the only reasons we managed to px it.
