Is it worth buying a used Peugeot 207?

It is worth buying a used Peugeot 207 if it is not an accident vehicle and has complete documentation. Additional information is as follows: 1. Introduction to the Peugeot 207 The Dongfeng Peugeot is a joint-venture European car with a certain level of quality assurance. The Peugeot 207 has a compact body, and its engine and chassis were developed in collaboration with BMW, ensuring quality. Therefore, if the car is in good condition and the price is reasonable, it can be a good choice. 2. Considerations when buying a used car: The most important thing when purchasing a used car is to thoroughly understand its condition and avoid buying an accident vehicle. Additionally, be prepared for potential repairs, as some consumable parts may need replacement after a certain mileage. However, as long as there are no major issues like engine damage, it should be fine.
As someone who's owned two French cars, I'd say the 207 is like a baguette – you either love it or hate it. The used prices are tempting, with automatic transmissions from around 2010 going for about 30,000 yuan. But it really depends on how the previous owner treated it. My buddy drove his for 6 years, and the biggest issues were the AC needing refrigerant every year and the rear window regulators being repaired three times. However, the 1.6L engine is incredibly durable. I'd recommend paying special attention to potential leaks in the half-shaft oil seals and rear axle bearings – fixing these could set you back nearly 2,000 yuan. If you find one with full dealer service history, it's worth paying an extra 2,000 yuan. French cars really need meticulous owners to keep them in good shape.
