Would I be wrong in thinking nearly 1k for a near 20 year old Peugeot is quite expensive?
Or maybe I'm just cynical
looks dear if you just look at the year (1995) in isolation.
But the car looks okay - has a years NCT (which is in itself worth something) is diesel - with low mileage (if genuine - and ive no reason to suspect it isn't).
And I would say that while 950 seems dear - the car would probably end up being bought for less.
Ive seen worse in the overpriced stakes tbh.
Think if I needed a car at this sort of money in a hurry* - id go and have a look on the basis that if its in decent order - then at this price range - a 1995 car in good condition is better then a 2000 car in poor/average condition.
Thing to note though - is that from what I can see it says 1.9 diesel - ie no mention of turbo - meaning that its going to be on the slow side.
* - Im not in a hurry so sticking with what I want from the outset - Mk 6 Fiesta, 05 era Mitsubishi Lancer - or a Panda0 -
I think if I was looking at a 1995 diesel car then I would rather this:

Less amount of NCT on it but it is 400e less than the Pug and I think a better car all round and it's turbo'd 0 -

Ej's had vtec engines as well albeit sohc vtec, and ek's also had non vtec variants. That car in the pic above is a 96-98 pre facelift ej9.Toyotafanboi wrote: »i'm not really either if i'm honest :P
eg was the 1991-1995 shape
ek was the 96-02 shape
mine was actually an ej (1.4) (ek's had the vtec engines :pac:)
The facelift ej 99-01 featured a cleaner front end with subtle but different headlights,grill,bumper,bonnet and wings. At the back the indicators were changed from amber to clear and (like the front) the bumper no longer featured bump strips. The interior was also upgraded with much nicer seats compared with the pre facelift.
looks aside Imo the ek/ej is actually a better car compared with the eg civic. It features a stiffer chassis, handles better, is safer and has a better range of engines with the sohc units gaining fuel injection and more bhp compared to the carbureted units in the eg. 0 -

Great find. Looks to be in good order. There cant be too many left in that kind of nick now. Pity the mileage wasn't marked in. One can only assume its really high but what harm if it was minded.Toyotafanboi wrote: »i'd love to get an eg civic like that and just put it in a shed for 20 years. what an under rated design icon of a car imo
Agreed. Love their low slung stance and all from an everyday car. Park them beside a run of the mill golf or escort of the same vintage and how the civic will look so much slicker. There can't be too many left in that good of shape either. Most will have being molested to oblivion.0 -
