new preve.

stay away from old peugeot.

at least get like 308

yep. but most of them are old batch thp140. yep 407 still a head turner. 

now new batch 308 doesnt seems to have any prob...yet

407 i've got a customer looking forward to sell it out 45k, yr04, very good cond.

but still, its a "used" car though....dont put too much hope its perfectly fine if u really wanna get it.

The 407 will be a more luxurious car to drive in terms of performance and comfort in the interior and plush leather seats, but I would recommend the Preve Turbo over the 407 in this case, if you are worried about maintenance. The 407's maintenance will be easily 3X more than Preve, and with a brand new Preve you will be assured of a problem-free car. Even if the warranty has ended for the Proton Preve, the maintenance will not be as high as the Peugeot.

Preve does have some driving dynamics of continental vehicles as it is Lotus-tuned, but at RM69k don't expect too much. I can say the Preve Turbo offers much value for money at below RM70k. My only caveat for this car is in the cheap fabric seat material and loud Turbo engine sound. Other than that, nothing much to complain.

Not exactly the Peugeot but a friend of mine who owns the Alfa Romeo 147 Selespeed once sent in his car for fixing several times a year, and at one point of time the cost of repair was too much for him to bear(RM4000+ for some faulty parts), he given up. Sold the Alfa Romeo and bought a brand new Toyota Vios. Since that day I can remember he was praising the Vios so much, not because of the maintenance but the low fuel consumption. (His ALfa Romeo's FC is very high compared to Vios). But then again these two vehicles are in different classes and category, but you get what I mean. You get the wrong car, especially used continentals, once the car exhibits problems, you wont' be able to sleep well if you are not financially strong to get the car into tip-top condition.

Hmm....I own a 407 , maybe I'm qualify to comment . You will regret getting preve cos deep inside u wanted a 407 . Btw 407 is reliable if u are the sayang car type of ppl . Service I would say not expensive .U get to enjoy the luxurious ride n cabin quality , even after 7 yrs mine still looks new . Try park a 407 infront of coffee shop ,mamak shop , restaurant and will notice how many uncle ,auntie , lengzai lenglui notice you n ur car ......

with the reason price hike
TS might not look at these two cars I assume
