im going to be looking at a few peugeot 206's at the weekend. and would like some clues as to what to look for.

id like the 1.4ltr lx/glx but will also consider the 1.9ltr diesel as i have seen a couple with decent mileage at a good price and im looking to get them no older than a w plate.

anything i should pay particular attention to? are these cars prone to rust on the arches etc?

its for the girlfriend tbh. thats what she wants. i did toy with a fiesta/focus but i really hate the styling of the ones that i can afford. budget up to about £1800 but preferably lower.

so any advice? apart from not to get one?

are 306,s any better? thats the other one she likes!

it'll be the PH3 HDI then. good cars. 150k will be fine if its got decent service history?

yeah thats the one. ill make him a serious offer then. i will be driving it a bit to so i would prefer something a bit more manly than a 206!
