Why Are Used Peugeot 308 Cars So Cheap?
2 Answers
The Peugeot 308 is not a mainstream model, and its new car sales are low, which is why used car prices are more affordable. Here is an introduction to the Peugeot 308: 1. Model: It is a compact SUV under Dongfeng Peugeot. 2. Body dimensions: Its length, width, and height are 4428mm, 1840mm, and 1652mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2613mm. 3. Design: The front of the car features a dot-matrix grille paired with a new set of lion-eye headlights. The taillights adopt a lion-claw design, echoing the front headlights, and the lower part features a dual-exhaust layout, further highlighting the car's sense of layering.
When I first started working, I bought a used Peugeot 308, thinking I got a good deal, but it turned out to be a total nightmare. The low price was because the brand wasn't popular domestically, and new cars depreciated like junk stocks. After just over a year of driving, I encountered engine oil leaks and electronic system failures, costing me thousands for each repair. Maintenance was ridiculously expensive, parts took forever to arrive, and I often got ripped off by the 4S shops. The market was also imbalanced—new cars wouldn’t sell, and used ones piled up like scrap metal. Everyone trusted Toyota or Volkswagen more, with a huge gap in resale value. Driving this car even made me the butt of jokes among friends for being unfashionable. I saved 10k when buying it but spent 20k on repairs—totally not worth it. Absolute beginners should steer clear of such cheap traps.
