Another good point to the 206 is that (heaven forbid) you have an accident/bump, there are lots of replacement parts are readily available at low cost, and many problems cant be sorted pretty cheaply (as long as you dont mind getting your hands dirty)

Thats actually a bad point of the 206, how many p**s poor / bodged accident repair jobs have showed up on here over the years 
Youngster buys 206, youngster crashes 206, wont claim on insurance because it will cost even more at renewal, so family member / friend does bodge repair job using 2nd hand parts & then some unsuspecting person buys it thinking because its shows HPI clear due no insurance claim ever being entered they think its never been damaged when in fact it has

It's not a bad point at all. I had a motorbike drive into my rear door, and I managed to pick up a 2nd hand door, in the correct colour for £20. Can't see how that can possibly be bad
