From Peugeot 505 users & lovers in August, 2020.


Ikenna351, Lion King - Monk.

So, I was doing a search for someone on Peugeot online and it led me to Nairaland (this thread specifically). I read some negative opinions concerning ehailing with Peugeot vehicles in Nigeria because of unpleasant experiences some people had or read on ogunvic41 ehailing saga. As much as some of these people think they know everything that led to it, you really don't know as much as think you do. I don't live in Lagos or run the ehailing business, but I know one of the factors that created the mess. And I am here to point it out.

For those who don't know me, I am Lion King - Monk and also Ikenna351. When it comes to a Nigerian hardcore Peugeot freak and a specialist/expert on the brand, that's me. So, you can either be indifferent, like me for who & what I am or hate me for it.

Ogunvic41 was once a client of mine who paid me on several occasions for pre-purchase inspections for Nigerian used Peugeot cars for his clients for the ehailing business and/or for other reasons I do not know of. I reported my findings and recommendations on the ones I inspected to him, at his choice to work with my recommendations on which ones to purchase or walk away. I never did any purchase or payment for him on any of the vehicles he eventually purchased, whether for himself or his clients. However, he had his own way of buying used Peugeot cars that contradicted and still contradicts my standard when it comes to cars I recommended to clients for purchase. He did purchase few ones I recommended though, but ended up buying some I wouldn't recommend or I didn't even inspect. My standard is, when it comes to used Peugeot vehicles, I would rather recommend a clean non abused one to a client to purchase than recommend a dead abused one with intention to restore. Restoring a dead or severe abused modern Peugeot car can be a rabbit hole I would never suggest or recommend to a non car enthusiast to dive into. Most times, you end up spending more than you could have spent in buying a clean non abused one trying to restore an abused one. That was a mistake ogunvic41 made by not listening to my expert advice sometimes which created problems between him and some of his clients and also made such cars money pit (spending more than expected to fix the cars or car keeps breaking down due to unresolved issues/abused the cars had before purchase).

There could be other issues surrounding the saga that I didn't and still don't know about, but the claim by some of you guys here that ogunvic41 choice of Peugeot brand for the business was the cause of the saga is very wrong. Ogunvic41 personally used his Peugeot 407 with 2.2 liter petrol engine to run the Uber business in the beginning and made a lot of money. He brought the car to me from Lagos to Abuja once and I did some repairs for him on the car. So, I didn't just read about the car on Nairaland, I have touched and sat in him. If he could still make profits enough to buy more or expand the business with a bigger engine that consumes more fuel (2.2 liter - EW12J4) in Peugeot 407, what about the 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 & 2.0 petrol engines in identical and/or other modern Peugeot models used in ehailing business?

Now, for those who might be interested in using Peugeot vehicles for this kind of business, I would recommend the most popular/common suited lions used for the business here in Abuja and other northern states. And they are Peugeot 307, Peugeot 406 & Peugeot 407. Other models can serve too, but I usually recommend these 3. They are dependable and durable cars. Fuel economy is good in the 3 vehicles. Not long ago, I was on a journey from Abuja to Kaduna in a Peugeot 307 with 1.6 liter engine and Stick-Shift as a passenger and the car consumed about 10 liters of petrol (N1,500) for a journey of about 250 km. Peugeot 406 with 1.8 & 2.0 petrol engines consume similar fuel consumptions on same given or similar distance. Peugeot 407 with 2.0 petrol engine consumes just a little bit more, but the difference is insignificant. I have driven these 3 cars myself on similar distances but they consumed more than I quoted above simply because of my driving style. I drive for fun (aggressively) not for fuel economy. So that doesn't count for someone interested in this kind of business.

Maintenance cost of Peugeot 307, 406 & 407 are very good. I haven't plugged in scan tool in my 20 year old 406 V6 Stick-Shift this year (2020) and we are about to enter the 9 month of the year. You won't understand how good and maintenance friendly these 3 lions are until you get a non-abused one and keep him that way. However, I would suggest you choose carefully if the road conditions you intend to run the ehailing are rough with potholes, gullies, etc. Peugeot 407 suspensions cost higher to maintain, compared to the other 2. So, use 407 where the roads are smother, if you want to spend less on suspension maintenance.

To enjoy a used trouble-free modern Peugeot vehicle, seek for how to get a clean non abused one and how not to abuse one when he becomes yours, and not rely on negative opinions from other people online and offline on Peugeot vehicles. Wear and tears are expected on every used car. Likewise, every car has some unpleasant sides, irrespective of model, brand or production year.

I understand some people will still hate this post or what I said here. But then, I can't save everyman.

This Lion's attitude practically changed impressively ever since he became a Stick-Shift Maniac. So Wild that my love for the Lion increases daily, to the point that my other Lions may not be happy that I drive this one more often than them these days. Life is good!

Possibly, the only Phase II Peugeot 607 V6 Petrol Stick-Shift that exist and ever existed in the whole world, as of today.

Peugeot, Cars With Attitude!

YOU WERE RIGHT LION KING.

"I have been using my Peugeot 607 V6 until I recently bought a 4-cylinder Peugeot 406 also and realized there was no significant difference in fuel consumption between the two Engines. I now prefer my 607 v6 than my 406. Lion King, you were right all along about this V6 fuel consumption".

The above was what an owner of 607 V6 & 4-cylinder 406 said to me.

I took a D2 with 2.2i EW12J4 Stick-Shift for a short fun drive few hours ago and was reminded of another fun car Peugeot created. The short gear ratios of the 6-speed Stick-Shift box enhance the exhilarating fun drive experience on quicker response on hot acceleration of the EW12 and matched aggressive downshifts. All these took place without the accelerator pedal ever going below halfway to the floor. Even with the heavy weight of 407, the engine and transmission was pulling the car like a small hot hatch with 180hp powertrain.

I got back home and kept wondering what's with the "Dem say - Dem say EW12 na wahala" with Nigerians? In as much as EW12J4 has it's annoying sides just like every Engine does, the smiles and positives it brings outweighs whatever occassional sad face attached to the ownership.

If you enjoy driving, your options are limited. What you choose to do with it is up to you.
