Trouble is, what people like my father in law struggle to understand, is that any 306 you buy is going to need some work. It may get you around for thousands more miles, but they're all >12 years old now, and tired.
Father in law (who broke my boost gauge yesterday, after asking what it was) thinks I should get a brand new car on finance, like a sensible 1.2l petrol. He thinks that Peugeots automatically expire after 3 years and that 'nobody keeps them longer than that'. It's very difficult to bear his limited grasp on reality. He has a 1.0 Kia Picanto which he bought for my mrs but she failed her test. Has this Korean shitbox been 100% reliable cos of how new it is?
No, it's shit. CD player is f*cked and the road speed sensor just went. Oh and it has more rattles than my 8 month old daughter has in her toybox.
