607

[jgra1]

chaps, I keep seeing a 607 for sale on a street.. it attracted a PCN today.. it's £600 and 2002.. a 2.2Hdi

I dont know what to make of them really.. it's a climb down from the X7, in every respect I would think.. it's not any more practical.. is there anything good or exceptional about them? or are they just a large barge with average economy and performance?

looking at sold listings, they can be had very cheap, and occasionally go for a bit more, but not much really..

just curious

just a large barge with average economy and performance....unless V.6



at Chevronics....on V.6 running LPG, 6 speed Asian Box and an Estate @ £900

[jgra1]

yikes that's a nice find Alastair...

although I vowed if ever having a V6 PSA again it needed to be a manual !

[Stickyfinger]

6 speed ASIAN however..nice box, and LPG !.... I am tempted to chop my X7 for it

Hopefully Aisin, not Asian!!!!
Always liked the look of the 607 - very understated. V6 3.0d manual would be fun; did they do one after the 2.7?

[jgra1]

yes the x7 has the asian box its nice.. faultless..

are you saying Chris that the hdi 2.7 was fitted to a 607? that in manual would be nice... heavy emissions but..

the 2.7 superseded by the 3.0V6 Hdi?

re this C5, the RFL costs easily saved by the fuel tax saved?

Just checked Peugeot 607 Wikipedia - yes, it seems all the engines, 2.0 to 3.0, a good few in between.
And wasn't the 3.0 more economical than the 2.7 ?

My 2.7 auto in the 407 was lucky if it was doing 25 to 26 mpg before it got remapped. Presumably in a 607 or c6 for that matter it would not be much different. Its near 40 mpg all the time now.

[jgra1]

yes sure the 3.0 is better for power and economy

I quite liked the unusual look of them. Big comfy barge with the diesel. Old 2.2 goes well but has a dpf. and no cheap VED.
I looked round one or two for a work horse.

I sort of do too, Lexi.. but pug do make some unloved barges dont they? I had a ?605 once for a year.. a really nice car but no one else has ever had one (Except Addo I think) not a car that would ever be worth much I suspect, in 20 years time.. despite the rarity..

and I remember seeing another large one as a kid, was it a 604? maybe replaced by the 605.. very recongnisable car that!

Pug 605 is now an incredibly rare beast on UK roads: (How Many Left? - Q1 2017)
49 on road / 105 on SORN / peak 7,500 in 1997

Cit XM:
302 / 620 / 18,500 in 1997

Pug 607:
1778 / 555 / 6,500 in 2007

Surprised to see so many 607's on SORN. Maybe a sign of the times? Or a 'spotted' future classic?

[demag]

What would the ved be on that C5? Is there a concession for LPG?

[CitroJim]

That red X7 looks like a bargain and a half, especially with LPG... In another life I'd have ben incredibly tempted by that...

[EDC5]

I too have been tempted by the 607.

Just one question, does the 607 have anything special in the suspension department? I've read a few posts about an unusually harsh ride which does surprise me.
