Hello Nairalanders,

Please I need your help. I've been in need of Corolla 05, but last week, I was shown a used Peugeot 407 car that has just been painted once but still clean and sharp. I was told it was bought last August and that the papers are still valid. On the dashboard monitor, I saw faulty ABS and airbag, the seller said they are working but the computer didn't capture them. He told me it's just the horn that is the problem but I noticed the shocks are not too good.

I'm new to cars, please what does this suggest about the ride and what to look out for before parting with my hard-earned money.

I also want to know how difficult it is to maintain Peugeot cars compared to Hunda and Toyota. Please your views will be greatly appreciated...

Please safe yourself from unwanted Headache, high BP, Sleepless night etc, and just go ahead and buy the Corolla.

I made the same mistake you are about to make.

1. ABS means antilock brake system,it prevent d wheels from locking up when u suddenly apply d brake,which prevent accident. NOTE: when d wheels lockup u wont be able to control d steering.
2. since d horn is faulty this triggers d airbag light cos d steering ribbon is bad. the airbag,horn and seatbelt are classified under SRS(Supplemental restraint system) of a car.
3. In automedics where i work, we dont accept peugeot cos d parts are not readily available.

Hmmmmmm

Is this Bimbo, one of the few ladies from MEE '13 ?

peugeot is a no go area. with all this mentioned problem, that car would definitely be a liability. once Peugeot starts all this electrical and other related problem, you will blame yourself. my candid advise is for you to buy Toyota product. it is rugged, good fuel efficiency and easy to maintained. pls, be warned.

There are two cars in the world, Mercedes Benz and others.


If you want me to recommend a good car between the two, I would go for the Peugeot 407. Why? It commands more respect than the Japanese brands: although its high maintenance. It is more comfortable and heavy in nature than the Japanese brands. I once drove a Japanese Toyota Corrolla and guess what? I sold it the following month. If you take a survey of cars in Nigeria, you will find that Japanese cars constitute 80% of accidented vehicles while the other car brands share the 20%. Peugeot and Mercedes are the second most used vehicles after the Japanese brands and less complaint.

Take the Peugeot vehicle to the nearest specialist or the Peugeot center for assessment then take your decision.

As a Peugeot user - I'll grade myself well above average on Peugeot knowledge, I'll advise you to stay clear of the 407 for now.

Since you're a first timer, get to enjoy the corolla or if possible, get a lower level Peugeot.

Also be wary of buying used cars unless you get reputable assessment on the car in question. What I mean here is apart from general automotive knowledge, there are salient issues that only specialists in a particular make can know. Eg., if you give a Toyota expert a Peugeot to use, I assure you that after a few months, he/she will complain about the car being problematic but if you hand that car to an averagely knowledgeable Peugeot person, he'll tell you the car has no issues cos he knows the little things that make or break the car.

Keep in mind that when a person wants to sell a product he/she will never tell you the negatives. It'll always be "it has no problem whatsoever". Come to think of it, why will a car that was purchased just last August be painted . Please steer clear of that 407 cos if you are unlucky, you'll buy it and from the problems that will keep cropping up (buy this, replace that, always at mechanics etc), you'll hate Peugeots forever and you'll always see Peugeots as problematic cars.

On a final note, listen to Gazzuz and Ikenna351, they are experts when it comes to Peugeot.

Thank you all for you advice on my delema over 407/Corolla 05. This is really a family. I will stick with the majority opinion. Cheers.

I am a 4years peugeot owner, since advice is don't buy it.

Reason:
407 is known for electrical fault, so you will find a lot parked in mech shades. Seller may not be sincere enough to tell you all the faults unless you get a pro peugeot mechanic. Use the Internet to teach yourself what those lights mean. 407 is full of sensors, even a pot hole can make your car not to start again cos of the sensors on the leg.

407 is a NO for 2nd hand, but do not think twice if you can afford a direct kotonu

The Toyota corolla is like Wheat, it doesnt look good, doesn't taste good either, it feels light but you eat and you'd get satisfied without fear of indigestion.

The Peugeot 407 is like Pounded yam, it looks good, taste great, it is heavy, but when you eat it, you may develop constipation and flatulence.

Only a thoroughbred African man/woman will understand this parable of the wheat vs Pounded yam

Correct

Why benz is d naija used dat bad?

adanny01:


I smell an accidented car. Honda and toyota is like driving in the day, peugeot is like driving in a rainy night. Not that all peugeot are bad, its better to buy a peugeot in good condition than to buy a lemon disguised as an orange. Once a seller starts lying, there will be more lies. You do not want a hole in your pocket.

Dont let that con man get to your money. Find what you set your heart towards and you will find peace.

GBAM!!!!!
Peugeot cars are good. But DO NOT BUY THAT CAR.

Why?

The seller is already lying about little things. He is taking advantage of ur ignorance. I bet that there are even worse things wrong with the car which u won't discover cos u don't know what to check.

Peugeot is good. But give me a Japanese car any day, anytime.

how much is used 407...bros put respek for that exaggeration!!!

OP pleeeease listen to all the wise counsel you have been given. Please don't go through the regrets of buying the wrong car.

What strikes me first is the fact that a car bought less than 1 year ago has been painted. It shows there's something fishy. All that sharpness you see will wear off less than 6 months.
Im speaking from experience.

Please go for the Corolla to prevent stories that touch the heart and leave that 507 for a less fortunate buyer.

most people that can afford to maintain a benz properly dont really sell the rest are those that hit cash buy a big benz abuse and sell for chicken change when they are tired of being drained

if you are tired of a normal life and want to be a mechanic, push car or a living ATM to car technicians please buy a Peugeot.
