I just checked the prices for equivalent 3008's for sale in France. Cheapest private sale 3000 Euros ranging to dealer stock with a warranty 7500 Euros. With 280 to choose from in my area.

I was in the position last year with a Peugeot 407 needing replacement dmf and cam belt. The two litre diesel engine had 90k and it was worth almost nothing. I did not scrap it, I got the work done complete with the then due full service for a total of £2,150.00. Way cheaper than newer car, and now good for another 90k (possibly)!

The Volvo V70 1.6 diesel engine is the Peugeot 1.6 diesel engine. A friend of mine has had one for 5 years and it is 2013. She regularly takes her V70 1.6 diesel automatic on long journeys and it has never let her down. She normally keeps her cars until they are ten years old but she is so happy with it that she is going to hold onto it. I would repair that Peugeot as I think those 1.6 diesels are an extremely good car

[@EnglishTMTB]

On the flipside... Had that engine in a different Volvo (C30) and it was an awful engine to own - regularly problematic, threw up lots of unwelcome bills and generally became such a pita to own that I scrapped it at around 135k miles, it wasn't worth repairing. On some Pugs, you get that 1.6HDI without DPF (putting out 90-ish horsepower) are pretty solid - my mother has one, and despite neglect bordering on negligence it just keeps on going. But the DPF implementation on the higher output version of that engine was horrible - regular expense with replacements required every 75k approx. My S80 with the D5 cost no more to run (despite much higher tax and significantly lower mpg)... Over around 100k miles each (at 35k+ per year) the S80 cost no more to run, whilst sounding much nicer, having far more power and being a heavier car more suited to long distance cruising. Now ok, the Volvo 5-pots are a top tier diesel engine, but that contrast was striking to me - made even moreso by the fact I took that S80 from 105-200k without anything beyond routine maintenance required (and only changed it because the newer version of the same gives better economy, more power and far lower tax). I'd never buy another Volvo with that 1.6D engine... I would, and did, buy another D5.

If i didn't need an awd drive vehicle living on a very steep rural lane, the bmw would be of great interest. It's an absolutely superb car and a great specification.

[@ryanb4046]

No lane warning, no heated steering wheel, can’t see a reversing camera, no sunroof, no electric adjustable seats. How is it great spec?

[@paulf2529]

@ryanb4046 Personally lane warning and heated steering wheel are not features I find essential. I do like electric adjust seats, though.

How much is bmw 320?

If clutch is really bad get a solid flywheel conversion, 230 quid, you want to be at 250 trade fitting, mot, not usually bad on 308,they don't really rust, check it, look at last year's advisories, then it's a handy diesel estate, late teens then over there, 800 quid in it for you without going mad, many options for you, don't get all main dealer tho and trade it off for 300 quid, you don't have to go crazy on cheapies, plenty of reasonable buyers at the right price, p ex sold to clear, welcome to do any checks, warranty?, sorry no, it's just a cheap car.

[@gdr38515]

My 2005 BMW 330i with 106K has an interior better than that 320d tourer. The exterior is fine but the seats are saggy and the rear has been used pretty extensively. I prefer mine and it's cost me an average £1.30 a day in depreciation since I bought it in 2009 and it still has outstanding performance, handling and reliability.

[@ChopsGarage]

I doubt it

[@muffindell]

I don't understand James, with one hand you say that the Peugeot would only give you around £500 profit which isn't worth it, then followed that the Merc is giving just £350 profit which appeared to be worth it, so now I'm totally confused!

I agree that BMW is beautiful. How much would this retail for?

Owning a 308 of the same age and engine I was surprised to hear this would have a DMF,

[@chrisburn7178]

Would a 2010 car have the 16v or newer 8v engine? I know my Volvo with the 8v engine has a single flywheel, not sure about the old engine.

[@TrevorBuick]

@@chrisburn7178 I believe 16v, and the DMF is on the high output 110, with the six speed box only

[@chrisburn7178]

@@TrevorBuick If it follows the pattern of the Volvos, the 6-speed box only came with the newer 8v engine (higher output) but it may be different on other PSA models.

The next gen 3008 is Euro 6 rather than Euro 5, essentially with the same engine. ULEZ status fairly hurts values.

[@chiefrocka8604]

You allow £400 which is kinda scrap ish money and punt it into the trade at £750 drive away . Or tel the customer you fix the faults and it’s worth more money

[@michaeljohnson1006]

If you change it to a solid flywheel conversion they are much cheaper. Airbag might just be a steering wheel clock ring If they plug it in it will tell them the air bag fault. I bet lots of people will buy it off you for £300 bargain scrap money.

[@roystonvehicles9129]

@@ChrisPatrick-q6k at the mot station last week they'd just fitted a turbo to one, it only lasted a mth, they'd put a new pipe on is as well, I suggested they check the actual oil pressure, I've got a belingo in and a 177k it's fine, the other mth tho had one in at 120k and oil pressure light came on when it was hot, done plenty of dpf, s, injectors, turbos on that engine, so no it's not a great engine. In fact turbo companies won't warranty their turbos on that engine.

@@roystonvehicles9129 I think the injector seals disintegrate, and block the oil feed to the Turbo.
