i quite like it, iv offered him a swap for my car.

Or could i find a better one.

I like phase 1 306's and it looks in really good nick for the year.

looks pretty decent. the diesel engines are super reliable. i have one here and its bullet proof

[dannyboycov1991]

are they economical as they say they are?

[CampDavid]

about 39mpg IIRC, so not amazing, ok though

I get the same MPG out of my VTS as my Dturbo. If I had drove the DT econmocally it would have been a lot higher.

£1000 for a P1 is expensive, even in black.

i know its expenive but i just want to do a straight swap.
effort trying to sell mine

[Jorge-]

TBH It looks better than a VTR. I would rather have it. I miss my 306 everyday

[kenny]

i get silly good mpg in the diesel. no used it for ages tho now :(

might go get it motd lol

Mine was kinda reliable, turbo blew on it, but I just saw that as a reason to upgrade it

[Bickerton]

My rule of thumb is people that wanna swap on PH are trying to rid themselves of a problem, thats what i would do ;)

I had a 306 for a first car. Was the 1.9d, had 250,000 miles on the clock and it ran like clockwork. Great little car imo.
I sold it two years ago and i still see it driving about now!!

Looks very nice mate :y:

The milage is quite a lot, but the diesel engines in these as said are pretty tough.

[Jorge-]

That mileage is fuck all. I bought mine with 109k, drove it til 118k.
That was a 97 R Reg

On Pug306 if you find a DT with under 100k your lucky.

As said these engine are bulletproof! 108,000 miles is nothing on these cars! I have a phase 3 on 96,000 and thees nothing wrong with the engine! Only thing is the bloody electrics are a bit dickish! Electric windows only work when they feel like it... dont know if the phase 1 has the same problem.

Only thing is as said, it is quite expensive for a phase 1, i have seen some phase 2's for that price, even saw a phase 3 a while back for 950 and it was spotless ( was a p/x to clear mind you)

And no offense, but its a bit of a long shot trying to swap a rover for it, unless your car is worth the same?

[Ferg]

Id rather walk ...


Nah seriously looks alrite.

[martinmac]

Also 39mpg... is that all the phase 1 dturbo's get??? Thats pretty bad is it not?... i get more round the 50-55mpg mark.

[Bickerton]

Getting low mpg on on of these means you must be going some as i have had one in teh past and got massive mpg

[saxostuart]

looks clean enough....hard to get a totaly standard one too!

[OLLYVTS]

I agreed with this as if you have a good solid car with no problems it will sell pretty easy if its priced alright.I have swapped a car in the past and you soon find out whats wrong with it after a while,and most times there is.

That 306 looks ok but it is over priced and i would be very carefull if he dose want to swap,make sure you check the car over really well and test drive it properly.hpi ect

[rossfisher89]

my mate had 1 he got bored of it very quick and ended selling it only 6 weeks after buying it.

i know, he said hes interested, my cars got like half the mileage and its a y reg. so i dont see why not.

he lives near me anyway so it wont be a problem if he dont like it

[Marshy]

Looks good for the money
