Hi Helmy,
How’s your 407? I am interested in it but can’t make up my mind. Worried about maintenance cost and resale value. Can you advice?
TQ.
Hi dev,
I’ve been driving the new CKD version for 2 weeks now. So far no problem. My previous car was a wira so the change was dramatic. I’ve driven some other cars like civic 1.8 and the old camry 2.0 (2000). I have to say this pugs is really the same level as camry and accord. can’t compare civic with it.
About the maintenance, i’am yet to go for one, but closing on to 2500km for first free visit. Its more of an inspection ordeal. It service interval at 10000km. And i do read on some forum that in europe its should go for service every 30000km and oil topup every 15k. But since malaysia is considered hot climate so they shrink it down to 20000km service interval and 10000 oil topup. But perhaps NAZA wants to play safe and go for 10000 service interval instead. The service price i am not so sure yet, but the sales guys said it would be around 300 for the first 10K and maybe higher during major service like 50k or 100k km service.
Resale value??.. hmm, if things goes well i don’t think i’m going to sell this car ever, or maybe swap the engine or turbocharged it after 8-9 years :)
Go test drive it if you did not test it yet.. test drive it a couple of time more at different show room so you can have different route…
Continental car usually have a very long service interval which is good for us. Even though the service charge for one time is higher than normal car, but if you calculate the total in 1 year, the continental car like peugeot only need to be serviced once while other car need to be serviced 3 times that will leads to the same amount of maintenance cost or even higher than peugeot cars.
Resale value? I dont think that you buy a car because you want to sell it right? For sure you buy because you love it, you feel that its worth for you. In my opinion, this Peugeot 407 is a great car compare to Accord and Camry. Its true like maldin said. It has more features that is fun for you to drive. I have one of my friend’s father driving peugeot 407, and he told me that it is a good car better than other in its class.
Hi
ANy idea of the spare parts pricing compared to Toyota, Honda >>
Hi
Well, I agree it’s a fun new experience driving this Peugeot 407.
But I have to share my probably once in a million time experience. After 2 days I got the car, I experienced a total not functioning remote control and battery. Guess what! I got locked in the car for 2 hours, not able to open the car until it was manually openned using the other spare key (which someone has to get it from my home) and jumpstart the battery. Lucky and complement anyway to the peugeot service and the dealer’s representative to come and help though couldn’t explain why it happened. So much for auto control..and security. It’s partly & probably due to my unfamiliarity with the features yet.
Anyway, I am still driving it and so far it’s good.
It’s your call.
