QUOTE(speed.demon @ Mar 10 2015, 01:10 PM) Hey dude, first thing: it's good to know you and your wife were uninjured in that accident. Secondly, I think the answer to your question depends mostly on if the car was a long term investment or not. If it was, then I reckon you should get it repaired and continue using it, assuming that things like your transmission, drive shaft and axle are not seriously damaged based on the images. P/s: to an extent, I agree with you that "it'll be different after" but this car saved you, your wife and your future kid. If it was me, my confidence in terms of safety would grow knowing that even if a car whack me until their engine hancur, my family is safe.  Thanks for the input, I will reconsider but not because of sentimentality but from a financial angle. At this point, a rough estimation to fix is around RM30K (cover by insurance) still awaiting workshop inspection details. Stay tuned.

I have seen them advertised a few Peugeot cars before. From the pic it is not Griffe. So be careful a bit.

QUOTE(chrisauyong @ Mar 11 2015, 05:50 PM) Hi guys, Just wanna ask, is it advisable to put a 1 inch wheel spacer onto our original rims, so that it will look nicer? Hahaha, and any idea where to get it? Thanks The 1 inch wheel spacer will give the car a more aggressive look. However it will compromise the handling. The suspension is carefully setup and sports tuned. Any alteration will affect it's handling and also steering feedback & feel. If you are willing to compromise handling for the aesthetic look, then go for the spacer!

Being 2014 model with 35K milage, price is not cheap. However the car looks good from the photos. Have a look at the car documents, especially service dates. Service must not exceed 6 months or 10K km,which ever comes first. Balance of 4 years warranty is transferable, if it not void. If warranty is void,bargain for lower price. There are no serious issues on this model, is worth getting it! Good luck!

They sell the car that time was 104k, and they didnt even know Peugeot got offer 105k for griffe until I told them. During that time, the purpose was to test drive their 2nd hand Preve... I try not to laugh but, my face still show some  face... haha

They know there's a lot of public unaware on the latest offers.So they keep on trying,just like 'tikam'. You and I know the price, but alot of public don't. All they need is one unsuspecting customer. Just like hellfire8888, he thought it was very cheap. If he didn't check with us, could have been hoodwinked by these crooks! These buggers can be very convincing to a unsuspecting customer. Anyway, you managed to get a good deal. How's your car running? Any issues? Found any good workshop familer with turbo pugs?

QUOTE(Virgohunk @ Mar 8 2015, 05:13 PM) Make sure you tick every box in the checklist (find it in earlier threads posted by the otais) before you sign to make sure ur Pug is in excellent condition. Check whether the door hinges are tightly screwed on all 4 doors, boot & bonnet. Mine was loose and one screw came out from the driver door. I had the guys at the outlet fixed and checked everything before I sign. Lastly, find time to read this fans thread from V1, it will help u to understand ur Pug's character more. It will definitely grow on u.  After much pressure on the dealer. The car was out on 11th March. Everything on the car looked normal. Its a red lion with Griffe package. Leather seat & 18"Rims. I was busy driving it around that I didn't update here. Can I know do we need to run the car at certain speed limit/RPM's for the beginning 1000km since its new.

Hey guys, the Peugeot Griffe package looks like this. The main difference is the 18" dark rims and interior leather seat & reverse camera. http://www.mudah.my/Peugeot+408+griffe+lim...on-33066707.htmI got RM20k % from setia alam. I went all the way there because of the colour ( RED)
