When you buy a car you have to look beyond the monthly installment and petrol.

You also need to budget for regular maintenance and also have spare cash for unplanned maintenance.

This is especially true when buying a European brand car.

Do you also have a backup car?

seems like a small back-up car is a necessity.

Yep, my budget do cover all that..

i guess u need to log on to peugeot malaysia's website, there's an online registration form to fill up

quite surprised by the accumulated carbon, thx for sharing this useful info

Engine oil (4.25L) - RM230++
Labor - RM53
Spark Plug Washer - RM44

Total = RM335++

fyi, the auto wiper is always OFF, where it needs to be re-activated everytime after u turn off your car

but anyway, now ur auto light is affected, and u should complain to sc until u get ur problem fix

Ur labor charge is cheap. JB SC charging around Rm120.

Yes thats the way. Don't exceed 6 months if low mileage use. Me too low mileage use,so I keep to 6 month service without fail!

Noted

Wow that is really cheap labour . Where is this done?

Same thing KL RM126 was indicated during my 10k km service

It is strange how this discount is derived by Peugeot. When I was there at the 3S (claimed 4S but more like 4S ready) centre last week 15th Feb. I was told the discount for 3008 is RM5k.... so 8k for 408, 6k for 508? It does not coincides with price level of the models.

I think the step up financing makes ownership easier but it only effectively defers higher cost at the later years
So really it is a personal choice. For me 8k discount now worths more because the value of money is really depreciating fast judging from the inflation that has gone crazy nowadays and is projected to continue that way

He did it in kota bharu

Peugeot has overstocked 408.
Higher discounts to clear it.

I'd guess,greater discount for slower moving models. We do see a lot more 508s than 408s on the road. I could afford the 508,but chose the 408 for 2 reasons. I did a lot of research before buying.

1st reason for 408 choice was the mods brought on the Prince to improve reliability.
2nd I was totally unhappy the way NAZA trashed 508 owners over GPS issue.

But wouldn't the 508 have more mods since it's actually sold in Europe, China, and everywhere else except in US/Canada while the 408 is sold everywhere except Europe and US/Canada to the best of my knowledge.

Isn't it usually the following? More places sold = higher volume product = more aftermarket mods?

Anyway, here's something interesting from Peugeot Brasil for the 408 limited. Look at the center console, it's touchscreen and it actually looks pretty damn sleek. And look at the badge, the font design looks very elegant, I'd admit it's also actually quite nice to look at.

O I C kawe kelante.

After doing a lot of research n study, finally i put booking for the Pug 408T white to replace my satria neo cps...already pay the d/p and now waiting for a nice reg number

This thread and the old thread really help me in making the decision to pick my new car..i would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all forumer that contribute in this two thread. I learn a lot from all your post, esp on the experience owning a pug

I bought the car from the only distributor here in Kota Kinabalu (Angkatan Hebat) and manage to get the old version which is without the aero kit, i dun think i'll pay extra for that kind of bodykit. Hopefully the car is in a good shape and not much problem.

As for suggestion since this group is growing, i hope TS can put more info on the 1st page such as the common problem faced by owner and whether it can be solve or not, place to go to solve the problem, checklist on getting new car , tips/tricks for the car such as as resetting gearbox by turn off the car and step on pedal for 15s, wind up all window using remote etc. and other info that is helpful
take preve thread as examples --> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2671435.

By doing this hopefully it will attract more ppl and reduce ppl from asking the same questions and can be a guide to ppl before going for service etc..

Again, thanks to all of u and wish me luck for my new car

O I C same thing like VW polo sedan, huge discount for slow moving models. Make sense!
