careful. That car has a big engine number one compared to a corolla, Civic or Yaris which are excellent in fuel consumption. Buying and maintenance of these cars especially Nigerian used is also a bit of an extreme sport because you first have to make sure everything is in factory setting ie wiring, fuses, thermostat and the electricals have not been messed up then you'll need a Peugeot specialist especially one with a Peugeot scanner to scan faults before repairs. I would have said get the car if for private use but if it's for ride hailing then I'll suggest a smaller, less complicated car. If you insist though, search and call Ikenna351, his contact is on his profile. He'll advise you better (for a fee) but you won't regret it

Go for it.
Don’t let Nurey or anyone else tell you what to buy with YOUR OWN MONEY.
Experience will tell you whether you’re successful or not in such ventures.

Good morning bosses in the house.
I'm a current user of Peugeot 607 car and I noticed the car goes off on AC after displaying a light which I was able to take a clear shot of the last time.
The yellow light just right beside the fog lights.

Have you checked the battery in the boot whether it is functional? That battery is connected to a whole lot of electrical also look for a competent mechanic, Peugeot is out of the league of kazeem, I hope you won't allow them do practical with it

HOW UNRELIABLE PEUGEOT 607 IS?

Mine is 17 years old today and has only been driven on Nigerian terrible and smooth roads. Below are parts that have been replaced on the car since new:

The spark plugs, 2 VVT solenoids, engine oil pressure sensor, Coolant Temperature Sensor, headlight beam Halogen bulbs, fuel pump, Starter, Window regulator cables, Battery, Key remote control, Blower resistor, AC compressor, Tires, Engine oils & Engine oil filters.

- Aside the 2 front ABS wheel sensors and brake pads, nothing else has failed or replaced on the car braking systems.

- Aside the Timing belt & Auxiliary belt kit, nothing else attached on or inside the engine has failed or replaced.

- Aside the conversion of the Automatic transmission to Manual, nothing else has failed or replaced on the Drivetrain, even though the Automatic transmission and its kit had no issue before their replacement with the manual kit.

- Aside the rear shock absorbers and rear stabiliser links, nothing else has failed or replaced on the car suspension for the 17 years on Nigerian terrible potholed roads.

- Aside converting the interior from Black to Cream colours, everything remains intact, except those earlier pointed out.

The car has 5 complex fuseboxes, yet no single fuse has cut on any of them, while the Naysayers bitch about how problematic 607 electrical systems were and continued to be. Aside Automatic Transmission wiring connectors, almost every other electrical connector remains plugged-in and never been touched since 2007. Never had to top up engine oil before the 8 - 12 months oil change intervals with the recommended 5w-40 oil weight.

I would expect some, if not most people, to complain that the replaced parts I listed above were too many for a 17-year old car. They could be right. But I dare any of them to list out parts replaced on 17-year old vehicles from new till date given similar mileage of my 607 V6, driven on the similar harsh road conditions and weather. Not to prove to them that mine may be less, but to actually challenge them on their definition of reliability they always bitch about. This is for those that keep receipts or logbooks.

The recent trip with mine reminded me of some of the positives of 607 I have taken for granted. It took some discipline not to let the speedometer needle or indicator rest on the other end of the meter, yet the average fuel consumption on the trip was 11 litres per 100 km (even though most part of the highway were decorated with horrible potholes, forcing the car to stay mostly on the first 4 gears on higher rpm, for most part of the journeys). Considering the car size, car weight, and about 100 kg load/items in the boot, I was expecting way higher than the 11 litres. Unfortunately for some men, when they desire something, they choose to listen or seek advice from other men that failed on that subject, since the voice of the majority is the voice of God (even when the western democracy has proven it wrong on Nigerian economy). It didn't matter how successful I was and has been with Peugeot 607, the sheep minded ones would always remain the sheep, the choice they took. The messages, posts, articles, and videos I published are for you to have same successful experience that I have had and still having on 607. Out of stupidity or lack of critical thinking, you preferred the Naysayer's ignorant opinions & lies. Poor you! This piece is not to encourage you to get one (you had your chance), but to remind the previous & present 607 owners that have suffered or suffering under theirs that the nightmares with their cars were their own making, most of the time. Peugeot 607 could actually not be the right car for you, but you should have come to that realisation by yourself after evaluating all facts accessible to you. That's what I would do for something I desire to have that I can afford.

Ikenna Udeagwu.
