Like the light interiors. As a two car Merc owner where the options are basically black, black or black I'm good to see. At 70k miles and £4k it's good for a young family. Hopefully 10-20k trouble free and a nice panoramic sunroof to amuse the kids on a long run.

My last merc was a B200 in ““desert storm”” trim… I loved the beige interior! (Steppe brown exterior, post facelift, chrome pack, beige over black interior)

The diesel engines from Peugeot and Citroen are usually quite good, but all petrol engines from 2006 onwards from Peugeot and Citroen (Vti and Puretech) are known for severe oil consumption and internal pollution in the cilinders. So beware of that.

Here we go again, all excited to hear someone talk about a car that I have literally no interest in. I mean, WTF? My theory is that before starting his channel, Matt took an NLP/hypnosis course and is pulling a snidey little number on us all!😋

I take my hat off to you Matt , you do your best not only for yourself but also your customer and the car .

Love these videos Matt, you take a car and improve it immensely. The car looked amazing at the end. Been on your website and its not there so presume you sold it. I know not much profit but if you have quick turn around not so bad. Well done.

Check to see if it's got 4 wheel arches. Then do a Car Horizontal check ✅ for servicing at the MOT.

Another great vid Matt. Keep em coming 👍🏻

Thanks Matt… a great video as always… it is great to understand the cost to turn a vehicle around… cheers

I think what you do @HighPeak is excellent and much needed. Because what my wife does is buy, break, sell. ❤

Always liked the 3008, just seems so practical and this looks a good spec to, £500 not a big profit, but yet again Matt, you are doing your stuff 👍

It'll sell fast I think. Transformation is seriously impressive, you definitely know the right people to get the car in top condition again!

Great job on your purchase!

Your mechanic ain't too bad..... any of the jobs you get done I always get charged more over 'ere..... I like those Peugeots .... Nice vid mate 👍

Good evening Matt, another great little car saved say you might not make a lot of money out of it but it will make someone very happy to own such a useful little car. Cheers Phil from Newark

Pretty nice motor with some handy features, esp the torch and the interior looks good.

Glad to see your love for old French cars is blossoming - I am just waiting for the day you have a Megane on the channel !

ive always wondered why spiders love making webs on door mirrors everytime i park theres a new web on both mirrors nex day

I really appreciate Matts sense of humour in these videos. Which is what he needs if he buys french cars. ❤

I'll tell you what, Matt, Peugeot should be paying you commission for these videos. Despite being an older model, I thought the interior was well looked after and well spec'd. Although I counted 6 Mats, including you. Whatever small profit you made on this, it looked great when you had the work done and will serve someone well for years to come. So even if your bank balance doesn't benefit too much, you're banking points with the man upstairs and stopping good cars getting scrapped. Win win.

You always know you have watched a very decent video when the time flies so fast as was the case on this one. Keep them coming Matt.

I’ve never liked the exterior styling of these, but the interior looks quite nice.

Matt, I think your prelinary hopeful budgeting is somewhat out. I simply can't imagine you buying a 14 year old mass produced car and then bringing it up to YOUR IMPECCABLE STANDARDS for anything less than a Grand!!. Good news is, it has turned out really nice and someone is going to have a cracking 4K car all sorted. Bravo!!

I hope you get your asking price. I used to be fascinated with the innovative & sometimes quirky French engineering ideas not seen on the run of the mill cars, but having owned a couple over the years, not so happy with the often close & tiny pedals, or the fact that when they do need work, it’s usually costly. You often really put a lot of effort into ensuring the vehicles you sell, are in top condition - as opposed to a quick profit. Good luck with your next one!

You should just call this Channel "High Peak Peugeot"

Love the interior colour on the SL. l’ve always thought 3008s were horrendous looking cars and had no idea why anyone would ever buy one. And yet here I am watching another of your videos about one thinking maybe they’re not so bad after all 😅 I find it really interesting to see what sort of condition cars of this age are in and how much they vary depending on how well they’ve been looked after! I always up buying my cars with the intention of keeping them forever but never do. The next owner always gets the benefit…..!

Another solid car back on the road honestly sorted, looks a good one too.

Another good job done by you matt it will be a great little runner for someone pity there wasn't alot of profit in it for you but I think its one of those cars once it leaves your forecourt you won't see it again as you have turned it into a good motor👍

Great cars these. My claim to fame, I once owned two at the same time, both blue. What exciting times! 😀

Great review. Why don’t you try the LS600h? That’s really incredible!

Owned the same car for two years. Comfortable and refined with a nice auto gearbox...until I started getting trouble with it starting.

Very good video, terrible profit margin but if you’ve done well from the others then so be it - plus at least it’s profit (hopefully it stays that way) Those Barum tyres are made by Continental apparently. I have them on my VW and they’re alright. I asked my main dealer for continentals and they had supply issues at the time so they sold me these instead claiming they’re made by Continental. Still ordering 4 new pirellis for it when these are done, they haven’t convinced me lol

Future tip for buying Isle of Man cars. Always do a manual regen on the DPF on diesels. I had to make sure I did a “mountain run” each month to ensure it could regen. Most of the time your only doing 15 - 20 min journeys at 40mph so they just clog up

I tried a similar DIY driveway paint repair on my van thinking it'd be quite an easy job... Made a complete hash out of it and made it look way worse! Definitely a job to leave to the professionals... who will now need to undo my own handywork :')

ngl that interior is nice, also FWIW I used to think HUD was a gimmick, but fuck me it's so good. Once you're used to having it you don't want a car without it.

Looking forward to the 996 video......

Barum were made under licence by Continental, and very good tyres! Sailun are a budget/mid range tyre, not too bad, and probably supplied by National Tyres

Had the diesel hybrid version of this. Brilliant car

As a frequent visitor to the IoM it always makes me chuckle seeing cars such as a Vauxhall Chevette with mileage less than 15k 😂 Btw Matt, you pronounce Onchan as On-Can 😉

I have mats over mats over mats in my car, best thing I ever did. 85,000 miles and looks like new inside and out

do you do a CarVertical check prior to buying them? ;-) Barum are a Czech company now owned by Continental. So pretty good!

I can really tell you like these Matt! I suppose that the split folding tailgate is quite useful! I recently detailed a BMW X5 45e with a split folding tailgate and I do have to agree with you on that!! 🗿🗿

How bout a review of other Peugeots like 208? Would be interesting with all the wet belt problems!

I do enjoy that interior very nice and different not a bad thing that car
