We all know that the Peugeot 208 is an exciting car. With a bold new design and technological innovations including a clever touchscreen system it is perhaps the beginning of a bold new step forward by the iconic French manufacturer.
However, buying a new car brings up an elephant in the room with regards to how much they depreciate. Many drivers choose to buy used to avoid the extreme depreciation of many cars.
Depreciation is the level at which a car drops in value after being sold as new. With some cars dropping like a stone such as many Porsches and Range Rovers, do you know how much your car really will cost you over three years?
The Sunday Times showed highlighted four facets of car ownership to consider: Service & Maintenance, Depreciation, Fuel Costs, Road Tax and Insurance.
Comparing the Peugeot 208 1.0 VTi Access directly with a competitor (the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 60 S) results in the Peugeot saving the driver (on average) of £1,551. Not only is the VW Polo more expensive, it has a steeper rate of depreciation, higher fuel costs and road tax expenditure each and every year.
The Peugeot 208 1.0 VTi Access comes with no road tax, much lower depreciation and greater fuel economy. Ensure that your next new car purchase is considered carefully. The Peugeot 208 1.0 VTi Access is one of the country’s best depreciating models and when stacked up against the competition, it beats it on value, running costs, fuel economy and above all style.
