) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.
This 407 Coupe is a little special in a few ways really... It's a 3.0 Petrol which makes it quite a rare car, rarer still is the fact that it's a 6 speed manual, not the usual Automatic, and what makes it a bit more special is it's one of the last of the V6 Petrols made
The car is black with black leather and being the GT spec it has everything. Fully electric heated black leather bucket seats, full colour sat nav with the jukebox, CD changer in the boot, iPod connection in the glovebox and a single slot CD in the dashboard for ease. It has only covered 27k miles since it left the factory and it still drives like a new car.
It also has digital air conditioning, cruise control with speed limiter, Bi-Xenon Directional headlights, rain sensing wipers, built in telephone and trip computer. This car still has it's tyre pressure monitoring system in full working order as well, it's not been turned off like most of them have at this age. In September last year I fitted 4 new Pirelli Scorpion tyres to it (the same tyres it had when it left the factory), and I had the tracking checked and adjusted on it as it was slightly out.
The only thing that I've had to do to it in the last 12 months was fit two new wiring looms inside the rear light clusters as it kept throwing up bulb failure warnings despite the bulbs actually working without fault. The beeping from this got annoying so I sorted them out, apparently this is a common fault on all 407's. One problem that is specific to the 407 Coupe, and a common one at that is the front windows delaminate. This is due to moisture getting between the double glazing. These windows retail at over £600 each from Peugeot. This car has had two BRAND NEW front windows fitted to it to get rid of delimitation that was present when I bought it. It's also had a full service using only Genuine Peugeot parts. I also have both keys for the car.
I am the 2nd owner of the car from new, the first being an elderly gentleman in Northern Ireland. Unfortunately he passed away and his family were unable to find the service history for the car when I bought it. I did telephone the supplying dealer in Northern Ireland who confirmed that the car had been serviced as required by the manufacturers standards. I have purchased a handbook for the car.
It is being MOT'd on Saturday morning and will be for sale with a full 12 month MOT. It passed it's last MOT without even an advisory and when I did my pre MOT checks on it earlier today I cannot find anything that should stop it doing the same this year.
There are a couple of marks on two of the alloy wheels but I am including two unmarked alloy wheels with the car.
There are a couple of marks on the car, there is a stone chip on the front of the bonnet which has dented it, there's also a little dent in the roof at the front offside corner. Neither of these stand out and unless you're looking for them aren't really noticeable. There's also a slight graze on the front nearside of the bumper
Although the car isn't immaculate, it's not far from it. It drives and smells like a new car inside and I'm sure will please anybody who buys it. It's a car I would quite happily jump in and drive to the south of France tomorrow The car has just had new front brake pads fitted to it as they jammed in the caliper and started to bind. The front discs still have loads of life left in them yet and the rears look like new still
When I went down to my cousins in Manchester with the cruise control set to a steady 70mpg the car was returning 34.8mpg, for the size of car it is and all of the toys that it's got fitted it's not bad on fuel at all. Will and Steve have both been in this car in the last couple of weeks so am sure they can share their thoughts on it.
Here's a few pictures from when I got the car: (Please note the registration has been changed to a UK style plate and is now on an 07 plate).
I'll post some fresh ones on Tuesday afternoon as I'll have the car back from being detailed by then.
Asking price for the car is £3,995 or nearest offer.
Thanks for looking
David.
