I considered buying a Peugeot 206 last week until I saw the prices.

Quite happy I didn't now.

But i`m even less likely to buy a 206 built in Eastern Europe....

Watch the quality control hit the floor, at least during the change over, but probably permenantly.....

Mind you the 206CC`s are built in France and repaired in Coventry and my experience of them is not exactly positive in either case !

Very true - they seem to rate their own french factories and forget that's where they 206CC's have trundled out from.
