Do those cars actually sell in New zealand! Feels like a tank to drive and it looks at you with a malevolent -"im about to cost you a lot of money" look.

It is the knid of car that you would have to trade for next to nothing. Better to lose a deal than end up owning one of those unless its laughably cheap.

Its the kind of car you retail for $6000 and it costs you $10000 in warranty repairs in the next three months . Potential to keep you awake at night . Auction it $1 reserve , no warranties expressed or implied!

Anything of French origin costs you heaps in repairs. Peugeot, Renault, Citroen.Buyer beware.

I am going to be in the market for a big family V6 some time in the next couple of years, I have to admit these look like lovely cars . especially when you see one parked next to a Maxima or Accord that is asking a similar price.
So I hope this thread goes well and doesn't turn into one of *those* ones.
[I know an old Mechanic whose last few cars have been smaller Peugeots, (405,306) and those looked like sensible straightforward cars that someone reasonably skilled could do most jobs on themselves. Unfortunately the 607 appears to have that same property as Audis, BMWs, Mercs etc in that if you open the bonnet you'll just scratch your head and quickly shut it again. even IF your mechanic manages to get a diagnosis you know there's going to be about a thousand dollars' worth of labour just to get down past all the plumbing to whatever part needs replacing, and their chances of getting it all back together without tripping out or upsetting some other sensor is slim to none.]

3 weeks waiting time for parts from France can be annoying and the prices can be pretty steepbut great cars to drive when they run.

these are truly not the best example of the breed, I have owned many Peugeots and currently run a 306 Hdi with no worries at all. The 607 is known to be a costly car to keep around, once the majors are done it will be easy to stay on top with the right mechanic and the 607 is meant to be a very nice car to drive, however the similar year 407 is a better bet, especially in HDi form.

Possibly has the mongrel limited life, non serviceable Jap transmission in it too. Great car for Turners! (BTW, why do you always seem to be trading the most horrible examples of European motoring! No wonder you don't like anything not Japanese!)

I thought you were more on to it than that kaz, every 607 you see actually been driven on the road, as opposed to being towed or transported, is being driven by someone on their way to trade it on something else. They are armed and dangerous (usually with a cellphone and AA card) and shouldn't be approached :) You sure as hell wouldn't attempt to retail one.
