A neighbour wants to sell his Peugeot 206 2006. The engine would need to be changed and a little body work.

1. How much would be best to negotiate for ?
2. How much would a new engine cost?
3. Heard the head lamps are expensive?
4. Good spray would cost?
5. Overall is it a good car?

Peugeot 206 stopped at 2006 replaced by 207. Peugeot engines aren't expensive sha depends on condition of vehicle. Go price engine and other contingency that needs to be done, remove from asking price

Fragile electronics.. The older it gets, the more the electrical gremlins... Peugeot over-engineering

Expensive parts for what's supposed to be an economy vehicle.

Can only mostly properly be fixed by Peugeot experts with appropriate scan tools, etc...


Not worth the supposed fuel saving flaunted... all these is my opinion of course.. I can't understand why anyone will want a vehicle which saves you a bit of fuel money, but takes it back and more in parts, cost of specialist repairs, and significantly higher fuel consumption if vehicle is put under any significant load..

It will likely be much worse with the scrap specimen you are about to put your money into... A bad engine means you can't fully ascertain the correct state of the car's electronics, gear, and suspension... These "buy and replace engine" cars hardly ever need only an engine to run fine..

I currently drive a 2004 206,
- Parts are expensive for an economy car that it's meant to be.
- Repair is not cheap either, you don't want to try every mechanic you see, for things as little as fixing your clutch, you must go with a peugeot specialist else you go round in circles.
- Dashboard clock keeps failing even after changing it, I have seen this with other 206 s.
- fuel economy is great but depends on your engine specs, drive pattern and load carriage.
- The car can accommodate a 406 or 307 engine also, gives you more power.
- Resale value is good, sales faster than other Peugeots.

My advice if you like the look of the car, and the offer is price is good, you can give it a shot, there are no bad cars or good cars.

Haba

It must have been in a very bad state to be sold at that price, you can hardly get a clean naija used 206 for less than 1mil.
