Noticed on alot of the 2.0HDI that they have high millage compare to to the 1.4 etc
SE spec is fully loaded, if it has full service history & is HPI clear then its worth a look.
#18: Re: Looking to Buy a 206, Questions? Author: chrisb1357, Location: LeicesterPosted: Wed Jun 20, 2012 5:52 am ---- Just looking at the min as no funds until around 3 to 4 weeks time. Just getting an idea on which ones to look for so i can get some insurance quotes as well.
Is there any rust issues on the 206 like they had on the 306 or any area's of the body work i should be taking more care to look at.
Would you still view a car with part service history and do all the HDI engines which are 1.9 or 2.0l have turbo's

The 1.9 is non turbo, however the 2.0 is, As mentioned a dozen times in the post, the 2.0HDI is the best one to go for, or a 1.4 petrol....
#20: Re: Looking to Buy a 206, Questions? Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:11 am ---- The 1.9 diesel is an old fashioned tractor engine, avoid at all costs.
The 2.0 HDI is a lot better being common rail & turbocharged plus does more mpg.

Thanks for the advice so far.

#24: Re: Looking to Buy a 206, Questions? Author: chrisb1357, Location: LeicesterPosted: Fri Jun 22, 2012 5:36 am ---- Well i phoned my insurance company up and got a quote for the 2.0HDI, 1.4 and 1.1 just to see the price range and it was shocked to find they are all around what i pay now with the 2.0 being the highest and 1.1 and 1.4 being around £10 a month cheaper.
But there was another problem i was told that on my policy i cannot have any named drivers under 27 years old and my wife is under 27 so they said i can cancel the policy as they cannot meet my requirements. Now i have got the head ach of looking for a new car that i can get cover on for both me and my wife and insurance company that will cover my wife under 27 years old.
I think i might have to get a 1.4L or 1.1L
