1988 Peugeot 309 XR 1.6 petrol

Summary:

Better than you expect from the price

Faults:

A lot of the electrical system failed: rear wipers, turn indicator, cabin light...

On the seats the neck protection is not high enough for me (185cm).

Rear front brakes was blocked because a small rubber protection against salt from the road was missing.

The carburator need regular cleaning because of the oil damp intake above the top of it.

You have to know exactly what type of spare part you need for your model. For example there are 7 different types of brakes to choose from.

General Comments:

My best and most reliable car ever! Starts every morning, also at the winter cruise to Norway.

Nothing has ever gone wrong on that car that I couldn't fix with things I just happen to have with me. It is lovely and simple.

Spare parts are very cheap and used parts are almost given away.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
