To be fair to the Peugeot 306 HDi, it's a really good car.
I've seen enough now over the last six years to know that although it's harder to get a good one, and more and more you see have some problem or another, they generally still are totally fine if you are happy to just keep on top of jobs.
It's really easy to spot cars that have clearly not been looked after, and the MOT advisories help you to see if people take their car in for an MOT with the car falling in pieces or not.
Assuming it's not been abused then generally you'll always have something to be spending money on, and then when it comes to price you just have to haggle I guess.
If it's due discs/pads all round then just figure in £200 on parts... and so on.
I'd happily buy a car needing clutch, discs/pads, tyres, exhaust, wheel bearings, suspension, etc etc, if I could get it for a whole heap less money than another car. Infact I'd be more likely to buy it as I'd know everything would be new once I'd finished with it hehe
