D segment $40 Jap car will be quite an old model. You will still need to spend some money to fix everything. I'd say you will spend a little less on the 2012 508. For reliability, you cant beat the Jap cars. Maintenance on 508 will be high.

As mentioned by acbc, 408 was intrduced with a improved engine. Engine Gb combo on this model has proved better reliability than all other Pugs of its time. Current owner( even though 2nd,3rd,4th) is eligible for recalls FOC!

If you are looking for reliability,then stick with Jap. If you want driving excitment,408thp is a good choice. A little bit more on maintenance, won't kill your wallet,but completely new level of driving dynamics! There's a few very good pug workshops in Klang Valley. Your can be maintained at tip top condition at resonable price!

The improved Prince engine,code name EP6CDTM, was launched in 2012 with 408thp.

2016 further improvements were made - EP6FDT/EP6FTDM

408ethp was launched with engine in 2016.

I doubt you'll find any used 508 with this engine. Whilst Peugeot was winning European Car of the year awards with their new models, Naza just killed all new models in Malaysia!

My advice, get the 508 if you want it. Have to spend a bit of time on maintenance. 408thp would be a better choice! Forget SC, most ppl have probelms with Peugeots cos they stuck to SC religiously! There are very good Pug workshops in Klang Valley!

No reason to avoid Peugeots. Instead avoid Peugeot SCs! All monkeys & customers have gone back frustrated , some cases with additional problems. There are a few excellent Pugs workshops in Klang Valley!

2016 308 & 3008 were cars of the year in Europe! Peugeot France production could not keepup with demand in Europe! In Malaysia 308 was a total flop, 3008 sold miserably, Naza's marketing & sales achivement!

If diesel is your cup of tea, you'll love 508GT. This a diesel, but may be hard to find used onces. Not many sold in Malaysia!

Thats very good price. As for recalls, you are also entitled to any future ones and foc! Just email NAZA customer service and they'll tell you latest recalls for your model.

My advice on this model, decarbo every 50Kkm. Engine is different version than 408thp. Recommend Renautech and Bros Auto for all service and any work!
