My peugeot 208,15 reg,2door, broke down 3 times in 8 weeks. I've given them it back.
They are offering a 208 active,1.2,5 door 13 reg with 56k on clock..air con,etc.
Or
15reg 108, 1.0, 4 seater 2 door with 24k miles, air con etc.
I'm thinking the 108 might be too slow n small and the 13 reg too old.
Any advice?

Do you know why your old car broke down, surely it's better to have it repaired

Any advice?
Don't buy a dug. :)

PS: Test drive the 108 and see what you think. Check out the relevant values on somewhere like Parker's Guides and see how it'd affect you financially with both alternatives.

Both cars are over what I paid, but they will cover the cost. They have had my car back 3 times to fix it, it cuts out..on motorways or whenever it feels like it. I'm using up my 9 lives far too quickly and I no longer have any faith in the car.
I'll test drive the 108 and see how small n slow it is..
108 is tax free. Both are good on petrol,apparently the 108 is same size as a ka inside.Slow up hills.
Older, more mileage, but bigger and faster to get up the gears..Really not sure.

I'd go for the 208 rather than the 108. ( I drive both regularly as part of my job. ) Get them to service and MOT whichever car you decide on. If you go for the 208, ask them to change the cambelt.

If you go for the 208, ask them to change the cambelt.
Definitely, and make sure the put in a new vacuum filter and change the oil in the nurdle exchanger.

Thanks guys, I went to see the 108 it's far too small,couldn't even get a suitcase in the back. They are carrying and out an mot and valeting it.Is 56k miles a lot for a 2013 reg??
-
Most cars average 10k miles a year, so it's not bad.
-
Yes, unless they come up with something else looks like 2013 is the one, well if I like driving it.
I'm keep in mind what you've said and let you know. Xx

Sometimes driving a car in a too high gear causes the car to labour which causes high emissions and the computer to close it down - might be the problem with original car did garage check it ?
-
Yes, 3 times. First time was 10mins after I picked it up,called them they came out picked it up, put it on machine nothing showed..but they saw all the lights on and had to reset it..second time I was about to leave the A38 in rush hour, it's like a motorway,luckily not far from my exit, it dropped from 60 to 15 with no reason. Luckily I didn't cause an accident. They took it back replaced some stuff and said it was all ok now. Manager put over 100 miles driving it to make sure. So I took the car back, took me a couple of weeks to trust it again, but it drove ok. We had not long left the house about to approach the A38 again and it shuddered and stopped, I put the hazards on and they cut out about a minute..so Peugeot took it back again.It was bought from their dealership.
I asked about the cam belt on this new one, they said no, they wouldn't replace it as it's not due until 156k miles. They will however mot, valet and service it. It will have warranty for a few months too.
Fingers crossed this new one is ok, should I like it tommorow..plus they are giving me some money back too.
