Peugeot 5008, 2018, Helsinki

Note: The vehicle is owned by a finance company. Huutokaupat.com handles the payments and registrations, so vehicle registration may take longer than usual.

Well-equipped, 7-seat diesel automatic Peugeot 5008 that has covered 271,000 km in Finland and is ready to continue with its next owner – space, comfort and modern driver aids. I can promise the reserve will be met thousands of euros cheaper than a similar car sold at a dealership. It will therefore very likely sell at a sensible price. Come and see or test-drive in Ruoholahti.

The car has been used for what it was made for, i.e. getting around, so the mileage is high, but it has always been serviced and repaired. Last year it was driven “only” 25,000 km. Inspection due in just over a year, next service due. Dealer service would cost €249. Windscreen was replaced this year, so it is in good condition. The winter tyres have some tread left, but the summer tyres are worn out. Alloy wheels for both sets. So expected costs for the next half-year are max €249 for the service plus summer tyres.

Wife's favourite things about the car:

• Park assist, i.e. self-parking — the car parks itself. Rare in this price range. And it works well.

• Plenty of space with children

• Two memory positions for the driver’s seat are very handy; the driving position is found quickly.

Husband's favourite things about the car:

• Comfortable to drive, the automatic works very nicely. Surprisingly agile in town.

• High entry and exit, nice to get in and out of the car.

• Versatility: sometimes it is a compact load area, and with the rear seats folded there is lots of space. Conversely, with the seats raised from the boot, it has been used with 7 people.

• Everyday comforts include automatic high beams, automatic wipers, lane keeping assist (this may be liked by some and not by others), keyless entry/start and a rear-view camera.

Condition

• Age and mileage show as normal wear: small signs of use and stone chips, but nothing surprising. (the windscreen was recently replaced)

• The plastic cover of the left rear seatbelt anchor is slightly cracked, but the attachment itself works. It hasn’t been replaced, but can be fixed.

• No faults have been seen, heard or are otherwise known. The car is in normal working order.

• The timing belt was changed at 220,000 km.

Delivery is possible, at least if train or bus connections are nearby.
