Go buy a Ford or General Motors and you'll be fighting them for a new car after your engine catches fire. Peugeot is by no means perfect, no-one is, to be honest how cars are driven determine how long they last in your case it might be immaculate but the "driven" side is important, ex lease cars are never looked after, my friend used to own Europcar corporation and their european cars were never serviced by citroen/volkswagon or BMW.
Fair is fair if you purchased a new peugeot then I'd agree with you, your car is not new, so a little TLC and expense would be needed.
Eg: I recently sold my Hyundai after owning it for seven years since new, before I sold it I had to spend $1,500 on it to get it up to scratch for a roadworthy, the car was immaculate, clean had all sophisticated electrics, original hyundai stereo, and still the doors had the pre delivery plastic protectors on the handles, which I never new where there. But after all my service history I still had to change a rear drum that had a slight leak, the seatbelt had to be changed and the front disc's were replaced. These items after seven years were never done, to my amazement after getting services done I was never informed that my discs had shrunk below standard diameter, yet I was annoyed with Hyundai for the parts but in the end it is wear and tear, before I handed over the cars I had to change the ignition leads as the car began to run rough. It all comes down to wear and usage,
Hyundai are cheap, Peugeot is not, hyundai use cheap parts and a cheap design team, /Peugeot use bosch and spare no expense in designing there cars for maximum performance and safety. Buy a General Motors and suffer permanent injuries in an accident, buy a peugeot and suffer from shock after
you realise how on earth did you survive.
The 807 has problems all elite cars have issues eg Mercedes $100,000, cars have electronic issues costing the company 12 million in repairs, BMW idrive system is known as a joke around the world for it's complexity, the problems you describe are minor. My four month old pug has a slight issue, the interior light sometimes stays on, very rarely but it is an issue, but it can be fixed by a reprogram unlike the other manufactures who have to rewire. All I have to do is contact peugeot australia and they send a technician out to my door, it's a new service which is fantastic, no other manufacturer offers this kind of treatment, go to ford or opel and ask them to come out to fix it and they tell you to take a hike.
If this doesn't convince you nothing will, so I can only say so much I hope you sit down calm down and enjoy your peugeot, if you buy elite be prepared to pay elite prices for parts, but please use this forum for assistance because many of us know where to get cheap parts and accessories, we are here to guide and help as best as we can.
I know when I get my car serviced I'm gonna scream, but I purchased a Peugeot knowing of this and was made aware of the running cost before I put pen to paper.
