Is the 406 GLX 2.0 A Good Buy ?

Hey I would like some feedback from you whether the 406 GLX 2.0 Model
is a good buy overall.

 

I hope so I'm just about to buy one.

Hey Zoab, once you buy it tell me how it goes and what your initial
thoughts are. I am planning to get one early next year from the UK also
so I would appreciate your feedback. I have been looking at some of the
406 EXECUTIVE 2.0 models and they seem to come with quite some good
extras.

 

If it's a newer model (2001 onwards) with multiplex wiring and there's any
sign of damp in the passenger footwell then walk away. A work colleague
bought a 406 HDI Exectutive, the very next day it clapped out on him as the
BSI (which sits under the fusebox and conveniently catches any water coming
down the wiring harness towards it and also off the base of the windscreen
if it has the slightest leak) was waterlogged and needed replacing. It took
the local dealer 3 weeks to get the car going again after replacing the BSI
and reprogramming it to talk to all the bits of the car such as cruise
control, aircon etc.

I must admit that having read this group for some time, I am
a little concerned about the 406 electrics, so many people
seem to have problems. In my experience electrical problems
are often difficult to diagnose and expensive to repair, I
wonder what you 406 owners feel.
