1. Brand : BMW 318 (E46) / Peugeot 407
2. Budget : 40,000 Plus / minus - after trading in with my Honda accord 95. (2.2CC)
3. New/Used/Unreg : Used
4. Specs : none specifics
5. Transmission : Automatic
6. NA or FI : NA with Fuel Injection
7. Type : Sedan
8. Remarks : I have an excess of RM1.5k a month for installment

I dunno which model to take. anyone drove a peugeot 407 before? is it any good with any problems?
maintenance high? what about the parts? last i heard few years back for parts to come in, it takes about 3 months or so, does this still happen?

As for BMW, i am looking for the year 2000 to 2001 model. some people still selling for RM69k. is it still possible to look for about 65k and below? i heard their common issue is their gearbox. is it true? coz as far as i know the gearbox could cost about 4k >.< Oh, I would prefer either white or silver color... HID light is a value add tongue.gif

i'm kinda torn in between these 2 cars as i think it's still within my budget. can anyone help suggest?

R u sure u able to obtain both these cars with 40k? U willing to top up? I need to know ur exceed budget (inclduing ur car trade in value) so i can est how much u willing to spend.

see my car can probably sell like 18-20k i'm willing to top up with cash till maybe 4-5k

then loaning for 45k should bring me up my budget to 65-70k no?
coz my budget for either these 2 cars are about max of 70k...

I was reffering to 407.

Btw modern turbocharging works well with modern engines. The turbocharged 308 is a low boost one, not like the ones u see in evo engines. It is done so that u can have a power frm the 1.8-2.0cc car when u have a 1.6 engine, and best of all u can obtain the FC of a 1.6cc car. Nowdays turbocharging is very popular among european car markers.

thanks guys. i have asked my car agent to arrange a test drive for 308 liao.
at least now i've been clearer a little and it does help thanks to both of ur comments.

however still no news from any 407 owners >.<
