Bye Bye to the Pug, and I have gone for a Cdti SE spec, 57 plate with 5,000 on the clock. It's £15k, but the finance and PCP of £5300k (I think that was that phrase, and it should be worth than that when 3 yrs old) was done and virtually reached the monthly amount I could afford after considerable haggling. I could have had a brand new 1.8 VTEC ES Leather for the same payments, but hey..the heart won in the end!
I don't think I am going to regret this at all, and I'm praying that it as reliable as you guys seem to be suggesting. |
You won't regret it and the reliability (although criticised by some for understandable reasons, particularly on early cars) is a league away from Peugeot's.
In the end the choice of engine is about what
you want to drive, we once bought a petrol MK IV Golf GTi because we couldn't justify the extra for the TD PDi (again, the low mileage second car), I regretted it the minute we drove off the forecourt and it's a decision you live with for years not months. Come to think of it I feel the same about my Audi 170 TDi but that's leased so only a year to go...
