Was just thinking last night although my current 306 is my first 306 - I have actually bought 3 in total,first was a V reg non turbo with that really quiet DW8 engine : ),bought it really cheap for an old friend of mine who had car problems,it had about 180,000 miles on the clock when I bought it and she ran it for 4 years with no probs (I had bought it off a reliable mate) but eventually her driving patterns changed and she ended up doing a weekly return journey along the M27 to look after daughters rugrats - I thought the 306 was unsuitable for that with 215,000 miles on it by then !
So I was lucky and saw an X reg 306 2.0 HDI estate for sale at work for £450 (about 114,000 miles I think) - bargain - I shoved the cash into the blokes hand before he realised he had seriously underpriced it LOL,lovely car to drive - powerful engine and brakes although the estate feels a lot bigger than the hatch and not quite so nice on country roads - but nice on the M27 !
The only trouble so far is that occasionally it would cut dead with an EML light - but eventually worked out it was the tank pump - burnt out elec plug (completely melted),so I got a new plug from a scrapper and also changed the pump (brand new from eurocartarts on special : ))
