peugeot buy back - a good option for travelers?

[chch206]

coming from nz next year to spend about 6 weeks in europe and looking forward to escaping quake city for awhile!

looking at the best way of getting around and the peugeot buy back programme has been suggested as a good option.

whats the opinion on this - good value compared to normal rentals? any pitfalls with this option at all? we have a 206cc and love the car so driving a new pug sounds good but not sure its the best option

any suggestions welcome

don't know much about this option but how much would it end up costing you? Only reason I ask is because a long-term rental wouldn't be that much would it? I've heard of city cars (Vauxhall Corsa for example) going for approx £3-400 per month

Why would anyone spend that much dough renting a throw away corsa for a month. I'd be surprised if the engine lasted that long...

New ones aren't that bad mate!! And it seems a heck of a lot cheaper than my quick google search for pricing. If it's any better, Mini Coopers are available for not much more...uh oh, I've just opened a can of worms
