I really dont get the car market. Everywhere I go its full of pugs. I personally feel they look really cool with the sabre tooth front lights. So a discount of this size just feels odd. What do you guys think is actually happening?

Aggressive pricing to attract more of the market to keep production lines running in light of the Chinese cars flooding the market at eating up the core market for brands from stellantis?


For instance, £47k for a e3008 is madness, 10 years ago the petrols started at 22k, and the cheapest now is £32k even adjusted for inflation it’s risen about £4000

You can get a MG HS which is the same sort of size for 24k brand new

Well done Peugeot...that move will shake things up a bit, the ever increasing car prices must have bit their sales.

I drive a Partner van and when its in for a service I usually get a car of them, the little 1.2 208 ( I know about the wet belt before everyone goes off on one) I must admit its a pretty decent driving little car the fit and finish appears to top notch too.

Got to compete with the cheap Chinese somehow. Peugeot probably have a few airfields full of unsold stock somewhere…

Can’t see it ending well for Stellantis.

I don’t know if they’ve already reduced the price or if that’s the entry level version, but we called in to a dealer 18 mths ago having a trawl for EVs and the sales guy said the e3008 in the showroom was £55K.

We made our excuses and left. I thought afterwards that he must have been joking or something so I looked it up and was gobsmacked that it really was that price.

Cheap chinese cars having an effect.

New car prices went up around Covid, and have not come back down.

Attractive PCP monthly payments have allowed manufacturers to charge what they like for the car, as long as people can afford the monthlies.

Love, or loathe the Chinese cars, they'll bring down the new car prices.

Unless when they get a hold in the market they'll increase their prices??

Peugeots are always quite cheap on a lease. Given that 90% of people buy on some sort of finance, how much relevance do list prices have to most buyers?

Especially those e models that have the heaviest discounts, they are always on some sort of cheap lease deal, that are very similar or cheaper than petrol cars in their range that have a lower list price.

Just been looking for a van, Peugeot Expert, Fiat Scudo, Vauxhall Vivaro, Citroen Dispatch and Toyota ProAce. All the same van, but Peugeot are everywhere the others are pretty rare in comparison. What do Pug do that the others don't? More dealers? Doesn't seem to be.
Now the proud owner of a Peugeot Expert 2L H1L2 on a 21 plate.
