Hi all.
After saving for quite a while now, I'm about to buy a used RCZ which has been my dream car for years now.
Every single one of my friends are saying to not go for it, due to perceived reliability issues of Peugeot as a brand, but whatever Imma go for it :)

The car in question is quite used:
- 2011 model
- 1.6l 150hp petrol engine, 6 gear automatic
- 160k+ on the odometer (quite a bit I guess for an island car)
- priced around 8k eur

What are your thoughts on the purchase?
What should I look at, test, inspect, touch and smell? haha

Thanks in advance!!

HI, In your price range I would go for a Diesel and a manual gearbox. I have one (2011) and have just passed 206k and it runs like a charm, with proper servicing you could get 350k or more. Diesel are just as fast but don't make the same noise more like a tractor LOL.
