Was having tea with my friends earlier and he was commenting on how bad the 208 car and the aftermarket was. He shared stories on how his friends had trouble selling his 208 turbo.
would like to get some 208 turbo owners here for some real testimony bcos i was thinking of getting the 208 in the second hand car market
208 turbo? you mean the GTi right? the stock 208 is n/a.
if you're talking about the 308 turbo then yes, they have trouble selling their cars. i have repeatedly said, never air your car problems all over the internet and keep it discreet. why? because the banks will see it and refuse financing second hand units. potential owners will see it and not want to buy used examples. well, the rice has turned to porridge with the 308 turbo already and its time is over. thanks to the owners going public with their issues all over the web.
look at the vw owners now and see how difficult it is to sell their cars now. it is not the problems of the cars that make it hard to sell off but the bad publicity that they have brought upon themselves. it is just a case study on the effects of airing the problems you face with a particular brand all over the internet.
by all means vent to the franchise holders but going public... i'd think again.
