Outrage!

[anup_cfc]

what the hell!!

just saw an advert in the press that you can now pick up a basic model C1 for on less then 6k. i feel a mug having paid 8k for my fully kitted out aygo.

[Demonic Angel]

Why??

Basic bog standard C1 or fully-kitted out Aygo for 2k more!

I know what I'd buy! ;)

Citroen website = basic C1 £6560.

Toyota website = basic Aygo £6710.

Peugeot are doing £500 discount with lowish(7.9%) cost finance as well

[SMW]

Not fantastic though is it ? You can get £500 off anyway just by haggling and 7.9 can be beaten by most High St lenders.

What I am interested in is to see if the depreciation is different on a Pug / C1 / Aygo. After all, depreciation is the single biggest cost on a car.

Well, interestly Steve, I just checked the buyers guide in my latest copy of What Car and the retained value over three years for each car is as follows:

Citroen C1 - 48-49% (49% for top model)

Peugeot 107 - 49%

Toyota Aygo - 52%

So it would seem the Aygo holds more of its value than the other two, even thought they're all the same car!

Good point :)

makes sense the aygo does as it has the toyta Badge behind it, as in most motor surveys the french companies general get a bad rep through reliability and general rubbishness.

in actual fact was the reason i went aygo over the 107 and C1 even though was slightly dearer i had that Badge of mr T and all that goes with it

Thanks Em - this confirms my thoughts.

The Aygo retains around 3% more of it's value so on a basic Aygo at £6710 thats worth about £200. As it only costs £150 more new it's actually cheaper in the long term. I know the numbers are fairly small but it does throw new light on the whole C1 / 107 are the same car but cheaper than Aygo issue.

[Demonic Angel]

The Badge means a lot obviously, which is weird considering it is the same car as the other two...

I mean, like you say Steve, its not a great deal of difference between the retained values but it does make up for the Aygo being ever so slightly more expensive than they others.... just the fact it has a Toyota Badge will do that. I wonder where they get their figures from - I mean the cars havent been out a year yet and already the retained values have been forecast.... maybe they will change when the first batch of cars are coming up to the three-year-threshold?

3% differnence on £8k is £240?. So guess it down to relationship you have with dealer. Peugeot agent is two blocks from me, over twenty miles to a Toyota agent, who also impressed me, they brought a Yaris diesel for me to try at work .

The thing that swung it though was the extra airbags option on the Pug and the £30 they charge for the tacho . Though they charge more for a centre armrest than BMW :o ! So I will live without that.

:( Nah! they charged me about £180 for the airbags. Though they gave me mats and flaps.

Have you noticed the VSC blank under the LCD display in the instrument pod? Though I managed to catch the back end when on ice in Morrison's car park, phew, at about 10mph though I was :o, me thinks winter tyres next October.

[Demonic Angel]

So, bearing in mind they're all the same car, can you get the same optional extras for the Aygo as you can for the C1/107?

Sorry did n't make it clear, by mentioning the VSC blank, was just pointing out it would be nice to be offered a stability program, also optional extras vary from which Badge you pick.

peugeot 107 7.300+

it doesn't matter if you paid more. its a toyota engine.

Heard alot of bad things about Citroen. and had a peugeot myself for less then a year, would NEVER go back to them. as far as i see toyota are easily the best.

If paying 2K more for one is what you have to do then trust me its worth it

I got my Aygo for cost price as the dealer is a friend of mine, but even if I didn't know the dealer I would be quite happy to pay 8k for an Aygo. I don't understand why you would want a Citreon, you get what you pay for and you have a Toyota. The word "Toyota" speaks for itself!
