Hi All,
I have been following this particular thread since June 2012 after I had first glimpse on the Pug 408 Turbo back then. I have driven the Pug 408 Turbo for already 4 times in 2 diff Sales office as part of my survey. And not forgotten other C segment cars during this 5 month survey too. But my eyes never leave this car since the first day I saw it. I started to read this thread and discuss with my peers and also compare with other C segment cars. I would say it is really beneficial to have this kind of thread for a person who really want to buy this car or get knowledge of this particular car. I didnt follow up much with other thread opened for other C-segment cars in lowyat forum but I did some basic findings on other cars.Thanks to all of you guys for indirectly help me to finally book this car. I am waiting for the approval of the loan currently.
I hope I will more active after this to give my inputs or get feedback too

I manage to nego with 2 SA in 2 different location and finally manage to get additional RM500 on top of RM5k and free insurance + road tax from one SA. I also getting GPS and tint discount. So in total I got 5K + insurance + road tax + GPS + tint discount. Probably tint discount may not be that attractive but better than nothing. It was a good deal after I surveyed for almost 5 months. Waiting for the loan approval now. My SA is in Sg Besi.

Maybe the discount came to RM10k...5k(rebate) + 500(extra) + 3400(road tax + insurance) + 300 (gps) + 800(tint discount) = RM10k. But the point is unless u wanna keep the car for long term , you can ignore this deficit. Probably in Jan 2013 , you can still get the RM 5k rebate.

CSL means?
Anyway, I have a draft on the list of things the SA will provide for me . This is signed by my SA during my first visit to there to book. So I am refering to this draft each time I meet him. He is in the midst of doing me the tint now( i saw my car in the centre). I am monitoring all his actions for now.So far he have fulfilled all my demands. Only thing remaining now is the tint and the GPS which he will provide me on the day i collect my car according to him.

Yes I am paying for the extra tint. I checked the brand and the model which the SA promise me to give. Then without SA knowledge I called that particular tint brand office ( i got it from the net). I enquire them a lot on the models they have and the prices. Looks like my SA didnt cheat me the price he told me. Anyway SA will get discount directly from the Tint shop. So in the end , SA still never loose much money for the discount he wanna give me for the tint

Added on December 13, 2012, 2:48 pmThis is something new to me that SA will also have tendency to cheat us on the day I collect car by refusing to give the GPS. Ermm.....gosh I have paid all my downpayment differences yesterday... I should have hold that money I guess ( whether can or cannot not sure). Meanwhile for the no plate is RM 260 I paid to SA...the correct amount to JPJ is rm 200 I think but he said need to pay the runner RM 60....so I said I dont mind on this....Is the RM 200 is the correct amount to JPJ anyway?

On the tint , the SA havent fix yet. He is proposing another one also. So as earlier posted by me, I will check myself whatever brand / model he will fix for me. I already told the SA to give me the particulars of the tint before I agree

Added on December 24, 2012, 1:55 amCongrats to me....I got my car on Friday. Added my name in the list already.
Meanwhile I will list down my observation of any abnormalities on my new car soon in this forum. So far the SA have very been supportive in sense of fulfilling my demands earlier by providing all . Also he is showing his concern since these 2 days by calling me and finding out if the car is having issues or not since 1st day. Bravo to him for his service. I have mention to him already the observations and he asked me to come to centre tomorrow to check

Hi All,

This is what I observed :

1) After collecting my car on Friday, I fill up oil myself since the SA said he didn't pour oil for my new car ( I didnt demand on this anyway). So once I pour oil , I saw the panel showing faulty engine error and also the engine sign still in amber light. I was actually shocked to see this and wanted to return the car. But the it was too late actually (almost 6pm) , So the SA told me to come the next morning to check. But after reaching home and later I start the car again and suprisingly I dont see this anymore. Then the SA called me the next morning to inform that this is due to the oil change. I poured the RON 95 but the engine was originally designed for RON 97 it seems. So thats why the error message appear for the first time but it wont appear anymore after this. This is what mentioned by the SA. I believe many here didnt notice this probably due to initial oil was poured by SA for you guys and the SA should have noticed this but not you.
2) The second observation was the brake.While driving back after collecting car, I found the steering is shaking whenever I brake. I told the SA and he mentioned that this is due the new brake and need to check if need to put some oil. So I m going to the centre later . At the same time my brother's father in law who also bought peug 308 turbo had the same problem. He bought the car earlier in the year and also had the same issue of steering shaking when he brake. According to him , the brake became normal after reaching 1k mileage. So I m ahooping the same. Did anyone have this issue?

So far this 2 things I observed so far. The rest I m just learning by refering to the manual. Too many things to digest on the electronic part

Hi Skyjack,

Let me clarify here. The oil I mean was petrol. This is what I observed when I pour petrol in the tank on friday. I got the error message of "engine fault" when I first time pour petrol. My car mileage was 30km and there was already indication that no fuel in the car.
Anyway, I just came back from the SC just now and this time I spoke to the mechanic there. He said for the first time , u will see this error but not to worry. This is due to petrol poured was RON95. But he said I can remain pouring the RON 95 after this and the error wont appear again. And yes indeed no error appear since then(since friday)

For the brakes, the mechanic told me that my car was in the garage for quite long time and was not used and hence the brake was quite rusty. He showed me the brake and I can see some rust in the brake. And he said I can drive for some time and the brake should get back to normal. If not he said , he will change the brake related parts

Added on December 24, 2012, 6:14 pmYes you are correct . My SA does not know much technicallty of this car. He admit that he does not know because he just joined Peug 4 months back. So I am not taking his words much.Thats why I refered to the mechanic over there just now and start to questions all my doubts. I got his number too to call directly rather than the SA

Hi Cybermaster,
Thanks Dude...U cleared my doubt..For the petrol issue,I think what u say is correct. Whether first time or otherwise , the warning error shouldn't appear. Anyway, I just hope I dont see anymore same warning error after this.
On the second issue, yes I believe my car was old stock but of coz I dont mind that as long the car is performing as the new one. And I believe the only problem here was the brake juddering only between old stock and new stock ( by the way old and new different is few months only). The mechanic told me if the juddering continue for more than 1K mileage , he told me to send to SC and get replaced. So it is related to pads and disks. I will keep an eye on this . Even if the judddering stops , I still want the replacement when doing inspection at 2.5k.
Besides that , what can be anticipated for the old stocks car? Actually I was a bit upset when I know the car given to me was old stock after the SA told me the car was in the garage for quite some time. But as long the car never give any problem , I wont have any complain. So far I didnt encounter anything else except the 2 issues discussed earlier

Added on December 25, 2012, 10:06 pmSo I m not the first driver to face this issue right? I knew about this that someone earlier should have face this based on the SA and the mechanic input
