Totally newbie to the RCZ owners club

He so thanks for having me here.

I am buying a 2011 Peugeot RCZ 1.6 GT 200 on Friday.

My question is for all in the know what should I be looking out for on this model. In reviews, I have read this is the better one to buy.

Hi there and welcome to the forum... The things to look out for if you get a chance to start the car from cold listen to the engine if there's a rattle then stops could require a new timing chain and tensioners... Ask if its been done... Full service history... And check out the jacking points to see if they have not been bent over by jacking the car up in the wrong place..
Hope this helps you out a little..
Drive safe and stay lucky

Well I am a Yorkshire man and you know what they say about Yorkshire man... Little tight with there money and can limbo under toilet door as not to pay the penny in the meter lol .....
If you do get a rac or aa to check out the car if any thing goes wrong in a set time then you will have a little bit of back up to use...
Hope all goes well....
PS. Both of mine are Hdi...
Hope this doesn't put the cat among the pigions....

New timing chain will set you back over £700 so worth checking if its been done
