Can you insure yourself on one of those? How old are you coz I thought the 2.0 might've been pushing it! Unless you've been driving lots of fairly powerful cars recently I don't think you should go for anything too fast or you'll end up killing yourself. Seriously, it's a huge step from a 1.1 fifty-something bhp to a 3.0 V6 beast. Go for something other than silver, it makes the car blend in unless it's wildly modded like your 106 is. Red leather is a no no. Sorry to make this post so negative lol

the insurance is very SUPRISINGLY 1170 on the 2.0 and 1265 on the 3.0 as quoted by directline! test driving both models tomorrow so ill see how that goes then make up my mind, but i definatly prefer the blue one, found a blue 3.0 with tan leather was really nice but bit too pricey, anyway im gona keep lookin, ive been offered a saxo vts 2000 plate as a straight swap for my 106, anyone know the value of a mint condition fully serviced vts x reg????
and b4 u say 1170 is extorsionate ill just point out that to insure my 106 as is with all its mods is costing me 1300 a year

test drove a 406 2.0 SE coupe today and im pretty sure it was quicker than 9 seconds 0 to 60 it gets to 60 in second gear!!, although been thinkin ive done all this work to my little baby may just keep her for the moment ill have a re think after crimbo cos the 406 coupe is a very nice car, think once uve modded one hatch back theres not alot more to see or do, so om to a coupe EVENTUALLY probably march-april save up a bit to get a newer better condition one, the one i saw today that was priced at $4995 was battered to hell, so ill hang fire for a bit

made up my mind definatly gettin the 406 coupe 3.0 v6 think ive either decided on a scarlet red or diablo red, think the diablo red with like an orange pearl over the top would look brilliant! savin up now so hopefully after crimbo with my bonus, sell my car and buy a 406 coupe!!, WATCH THIS SPACE ;p,
also put my old lights back in my 106 cos the lexus clusters steamed up, think they look better tbh with the kit not as in your face as the lexus ones, sweet downgrade lol

standrd lights aint a down grade, some people pay to get their lights colour coded, peugeot do it for nothing.
good one for going for the coupe you wont regret it, underated car by far. cos its a 406 people think TAXI. they overlook the fact its a coupe so no back doors to add to weight and its got a 3.0 and also its a V6. bewarned when it comes to service it though, peugeot are slow at getting parts in and their prices are expensive, you will have to do it by the book, or it will go horribly wrong for you. but on the plus side, what a nice car.
