$75K is good price,especially since you say the car is in good shape & only done 20K. However I want to explain something to you. It all depends how you take my advice.
Warranty is already void,becomes void the moment service is missed 14days beyond service date, even though mileage is low. Peugeot France is very strict on this!
Many will tell you avoid buying this car,since no warranty. The dealer will swear that's not true and warranty is valid. The choice to buy or not, is yours!
My advice,buy this car, but at a lower price. Use the no warranty to bargain for lower price. Start below $70K and try to close the deal at $70K max. This model has proved reliable, so no worries. You may face some QC issues,which you'll have 5K from the purchase price to use if needed. That is also the reason why I'm telling you to close the deal at $70K max, the $5K can be used as QC issues buffer!
Since no warranty, you can service your car at a good non SC workshop. This will cost much cheaper! 40K service is just oil & oil filter change which will cost $500 at SC. You can get this done at $300+ at non SC workshop. I advice you to use AMSOIL fully synthetic or Mobil 1.
I can't comment on free service as I don't know the details. Various promotion were offered at different periods. Use the car number and check at NASA outlet on the package. They will have records and details. If this is not transferable, use this as a bargain point for price negotiation.
DON'T take the dealers word,he'll swear it's transferable, he'll lie like hell to make the sale!Do your own checking!
You can always get advice on issues from us. Good luck!
Hi skyJack.. thank u very much for the advice.. for ur info, i've paid the booking this morning for this car with some changes of the deal.. the price would be rm72k + rm2.5k proc fee + rm1k insurance w/55% ncd.. yes its still rm75k otr, but i've requested them to do additional 40k service @peugeot sc and change of 2 piece of tyre (conti max, not new but agreed to be still 80% good condition)..
I've already done my homework, as the sc told me there is no more warranty at NASA, but for small/cheaper part example like gear knob etc still have warranty as the part will come from sc themselve..
So i've tried to use this as a bargaining chip, but the seller wont give a lower price as the price is the lowest in the market right now (comparing with all other online sellers).. but after few discussion, they only agreed to do service and change of tyre..
Btw- im still buying bcoz its really a good price, given if put another 5k for QC buffer, the price is still lower than the current market value..
