hey all

i saw a sticker on a sweet looking 205 in the carpark at top gear this afternoon which led me here.

i dont actually own a french car, i own a toyota hilux which i have just got back on the road in december after cutting it all up and fabricating airbag suspension, please dont hold it agianst me....

i have been interested in peugeots for years, we imported a 306 GTI afew years ago and it was awesome, handled great, was great on gas and went pretty good also.

im 24, live in auckland and during the week im a consulting engineer.

im interested in finding about what the scene is like and learn a bit more about peugeots.

Cheers

Hey Guys

Yea i think i will, im interested in getting one, maybe a 106 or 306 pug, but we'll see.

its all about the moolah really, if/when i get bored of my other car ill definately be considering one.

an architect i know has a 106GTI which i might ask him if he's ever interested in selling it to come to me first.

106 GTI'S are sweet but hard to come by same with the GTI-6/S16'S really. But if your patient a nice one WILL come up and when it does buy it! haha very much a game of you snooze you loose with these cars.

also post some pics of your ute so we can laugh at it..... (jks  )

[Reviled]

It really depends, but I normally see them going for around the $6-$8k mark

Yeah 6-8k depending on condition... real crap ones maybe 4k?

Similar with GTi6s... rubbish ones around 4-5, good ones around 6-8. Mint ones 9-10.

Geotechnical eh? Not Tonkin & Taylor or similar?

There's quite a bunch of engineers here now - Myself, V6Pete, Esprit... I think a few others also.
