Why Are Used Peugeot 307 Cars So Cheap?
2 Answers
The Peugeot 307 has some common issues, and its resale value is relatively low, which is why used Peugeot 307 cars are priced so affordably. Below are specific details about the Peugeot 307: 1. Body Dimensions: The hatchback version of the Peugeot 307 measures 4212mm in length, 1762mm in width, and 1531mm in height. 2. Powertrain Configuration: The hatchback 307 is equipped with the same 1.6L and 2.0L engines as the sedan version. The 307 features four-wheel independent suspension. The front suspension is similar to that of other cars, while the rear suspension uses an independent torsion beam with a deformable crossmember, though it is not the more advanced multi-link independent suspension.
The Peugeot 307 I once owned started having frequent minor issues after just a few years, such as the engine being prone to strange noises and the transmission responding sluggishly. A single repair could cost several thousand yuan, with parts being hard to find and expensive. The car has weak brand influence in China, not holding its value as well as Volkswagen or Toyota. In the second-hand market, people are hesitant to buy it, worried about unaffordable repairs or poor reliability. Additionally, the car's design is outdated, with comfort and safety features lagging behind modern vehicles. Younger people prefer new cars with a sense of technology, so demand is low and supply is high, naturally driving prices down. However, if you're on a tight budget, buying one for personal use and repairing it can still make it drivable, as long as you set aside money for repairs in advance. Overall, the Peugeot 307's low price is the result of a combination of brand and technical shortcomings.
