I need a new runabout and i'm not sure what to buy. I've wondered about getting the pug because i loved my old MI 205. I've had a look on autotrader and the saxo's seem cheaper but tbh i'd rather not have a maxo

Anyone had either car and got any info on them? Reliable?

Anyone know of one for sale?

What could i expect for £1500 - £2k? Anything decent or would i have to spend more?

cheers

chop

 

what body kit you got in mind mate?

 

Oh and i'm looking for a puggy site where i might find one for sale please??

 

don't start

but dimma is always nice on a pug

 

only car like that i would have is a 106 rallye

 

My mate had a 106 gti and it was a fun quick car to drive

 

Aye Aye Chop, I've just spoken to Toff, he's 'on the case' and will let you know whats on the go.

You've just missed out on a GTi6 kitted out 306 Hdi, within your budget aswell. Drop him a pm

 

ive got a 106 gti, its completly standard had it for a year as my work/fun car and i love it to bits!!

only things to go wrong were a coil pack and a few bushes here and there apart from these reliable fun car, well recomended!!

cheap insurance as well, i pay £300 comp.

dont buy a dog though

 

dude get on msn then

 

swerv what age is yours then?? I'm wondering if the older ones like an R plate are dogs or not...

 

Not home atm, will likely catch you later

 

np's

 

ive got a 97 model on a P, its just turned 100k, ive 20 of those.

you should pick one up for less than 2k no probs.

thinking of changing mine for a later model with the leather but mine has been so good just think ill keep it

 

no i think you should upgrade and sell me yours if its so good

 

lol, thats the thing you have to find a good one, mine was by luck judging by some of the stories of leaky sunroofs and bad electrics.

as long as you take it for a long drive to make sure everything works youll be ok

pour a bucket of water on the sunroof and see if it all goes through to the seats

 

lol just ask the current owner if i can get a bucket of water and pour it over

 

yeah and if says hes got no bucket or no hose, dont believe him

Anyway id go for the pug, ive heard they feel more sturdy aswell?

 

whoever said dont buy a car in the rain abviously never bought a 106

mine still puts a smile on my face after a year

 

106 gti all the way much better car to have over the saxo. I used to have one and loved that car to bits was quite depressed when i drove my RST for the first time after selling the 106 but the RST was standard at the time that soon changed after she was chipped by Ahmed

www.peugeot-gti.net - Hope this helps

Any excuess to get me pics out

 

Are they GTi6 rims?

 

Yeah mate

 

they certainly are.

My gf had a silver one, lovely motor and much more fun than the 206 gti I had at the time.

 

What about a 2i 16V or an RS1800 on an M plate? or even a 130ps XR3i? all fords mind you. . .


Sorry missed you on msn, forgot to put it off before I went to the pub, and the answer to your question is no. . I got banned

 

chop son!

ive got a nice little posideon blu VTS on an R

99k had it for 5 years and its rarely skipped a beat

make me an offer and ill seriously consider it!

 

i'd have a clio williams over both of those cars if it was my choice

but out of those i'd go for the 106 gti, a lot less common for starters

 

Aye Davie
How does a grand sound?
Has it got any mods? Whats does "rarely skipped a beat" mean? What has gone wrong?
How is it on fuel? How much to say £10? What is insurance like?


other Dave
you answered the Q yourself...no because they are all fords


Red
Yes i know the williams is better but not in my price bracket really!

 

you going to nat day man?

if so we can talk more about it then

a grand is a bit low mate, but obv u would have to look at the car urself

well apart from driveshafts and a few bushes the car has been cool (apart from tyres and brakes etc)


its a totally standard car mate

fuel consumption is pretty good, 350 miles for a full tank ish, (bout £35 quid) that just the norm i think, its always been that all the time ive had it

 

Insurance is under £300 as far as i remember mate im 26 and i have 5 years NCB

 

mate has a red gti an its a little rocket, chipped cammed manifold an a full exhaust, really needs a lsd to get the power down tho, an hes stripped it aswell.

its a great laugh, ran a 14.7 last time it was up at crail on a pretty shitty damp day. an the red ones are supposed to be quite rare, not sure if hed sell it as hes been looking at super charging it, but best of luck finding the one your after,

Mb.

 

no nd for me. i might be offshore on fri

i was joking about the 1k

So the car isn't even lowered or owt? Nice! I didnt want a boy'd up maxo

that sounds excellent on fuel!

You use msn? add me and we can chat, chopsworth@hotmail.com

chop

 

shame mate, should be a good wekend!

i have msn son but im @ work just now so i cant log on.

ill add u tonight and see if we can have a chat

cool man

catch ya later

 

pm me a price for what you think car is worth so i can mull it over
how much mot and tax and any bad bits too please...

 

Had several of both and IMO would go for a 106.Just watch out for neon's hanging underneath!

 

Do these cars rot at all like fords do? If so where needs to be checked out? I've heard they can be bad for drive shafts? Anything else to know?
