Anyone know about cars?

Former Member

My mates just got one and it seems to be one hell of a car for what he paid for it. He bought it from a Peugeot dealer as well.

Its a 2002 51 plate with 58k on the clock. It is in brand new condition, it has leather seats, air con, esc, abs etc etc.

It just seems a bit too cheap considering these cars cost nearly £14,000 when new.

Could be because of the new 207?

Are 2007 cars out in England? (Don't worry my_name, I'm not specifically asking you ) Surely not, I've only just got used to seeing 06 plates.... and surely, those are 2006 cars?

Saying that I have no clue about registrations. I still spend a good while struggling to understand why my car is an M reg, but my mates is a N reg... yet they were built at almost the same time..

It would make it a 3 or 4 year old car depending on when it was built

Our cars come out in the year, I think 06 plates were launched in March or something.

New cars are introduced twice a year, in February and in August. For instance, both M and N reg are 1996 cars, but M reg was released in February and N reg in August.
With the new plates, 06 plates are for cars that came out in Feb, and 56 will be for plates for the cars released in August, like for instance the supercharged Jaguar XK.
2007 cars in the UK won't be released until 2007.
But in Japan and US that will be different.
For instance, the 2007 Mustang is already out in the States, i think!!
The new 1000bhp Nissan Skyline will be released in Europe after it's been released in Japan and US (unless I am wrong )

I see, I didn't know there was a difference. They all call the new cars 07 since like April/Mayish for some car makers?? I never understood it but tis what they tell me

Edit: They are usually new models brought out early to retire a older model
they want to get rid of.

Is what I was told, who knows if thats right though I just know I watch too many commercials and alot are plastering 2007 on them.

Car dealers swap cars all the time.

if you go to a saab dealership with a ford as part exchange they'll ring up a ford dealership they know and sell them the car and vice versa

It's probably just a cheap part exchanged car.

Cars didn't start coming out twice a year until S reg which I think was 1998, before that the M and N regs would have been a year apart.

Former Member

They might have not come out twice a year but they were "first registered" twice a year.
That's why M reg can be 1995 and 1996....

Former Member

Most 'new' cars have been sitting on a container ship or in a yard on Grimsby docks for god knows how many years.

I agree .. for a Peugeot, almost any amount of money is too much money ... :yeees:
