QUOTE(enochtan3668 @ Jul 9 2014, 02:30 PM) My guess is 140K+/-. Present 408,both NA & THP are fantastic value. Last chance to get a THP for less than $110K. This is a really enjoyable car! No serious problems, some had QC issues which SC can sort out. Also note,no owner has come back saying his problem has come back again! Many of us no issues at all,like mine 2years already! Still a healthy roar from my Lion and silky smooth gb! This post has been edited by SKYjack: Jul 9 2014, 04:39 PM |

Also note,no owner has come back saying his problem has come back again! Many of us no issues at all,like mine 2years already! Still a healthy roar from my Lion and silky smooth gb! but good to note that the 408's turbo engine has so far been generally quite dependable. this trait i am sure buyers of the revised 3008 and revised 5008 will also enjoy. |

Think if I didn't own my 408,would have signed on the dotted line.but good to note that the 408's turbo engine has so far been generally quite dependable. this trait i am sure buyers of the revised 3008 and revised 5008 will also enjoy. It's great the M version engine slowly but surely getting on future Pugs & Citroens. I am really keen on the 2014 308. Understand it will come with M engine. Will seriously consider it in 2 years time! |

QUOTE(EnergyAnalyst @ Jul 9 2014, 10:29 AM) stock clearance bro. Most of us feel the facelift 408 has lost it's French DNA. For me, no matter what they put in this car,I'll not give it another look ( sorry to say,sounds a bit harsh ). new 408 is launching 2nd half 2014 from China and mana tahu it may reach Malaysia shortly after the new 408 is armed with more space and tech.

Ppl are still unsure about the THP engine. Once they realize this engine is good,then demand will pickup, so will RV!Mine, still a very healthy lion. Yesterday night itself, travel almost 100k.

My 2 cents, since I am driving Borassque Blue. Many of this color will have dual tone at the font part and the front hood. It is very obvious if you look at it from a near distance.Tried googling but its very vague.... I think Aster Grey will be a better choice la in this case. Or not, tell you SA to make sure it is not dual tone baru take lor. |

I'm not sure if that is the interior,which is exactly like the 2014 308. The photo I saw looked more like the present 408 interior with some changes,especially the steering wheel! Perhaps I might change my view if I see it for real. Photos may not bring out the best, at times!new 408 face look like new 308, see |

That is without the leather seat and bodykit. Good Price. The best I am getting for that is 109888 otr. I am still thinking which modal. |
