Our Take:
- Rarity and Origin: The 2003 Peugeot 406 Coupe is a bit of a unicorn in North America. Originally designed by Pininfarina, this particular model has an Italian flair while being distinctly French. Imported from Japan, it adds another layer of rarity—Japanese imports often feature unique specifications due to different domestic regulations and tastes.
- Engine and Transmission: Under the hood, you’ve got a robust 3.0 V6 engine. It's paired with the ZF 4HP20 automatic transmission, which is known for its smooth operation... when it's not in need of service, that is. Given the seller's note about gearbox knocking, this could be a fun project for someone who loves tackling mechanical challenges.
- Styling and Features: The 406 Coupe has got that classic early 2000s silhouette that car enthusiasts cherish—wide stance, low-slung, with a touch of elegance. Despite some modern conveniences like electric mirrors and a 6-disc CD changer, the car’s quirks, like the tape player and non-functioning AC, will take you on a nostalgic trip back in time. Who knew a tape player could be a talking point these days?
- Cultural Footprint: Peugeot may not be the most common name in Canadian car culture, but owning a piece of European automotive history could spark some interesting conversations at car meets. Plus, the lowered springs and fog lights give it a slightly more aggressive, sportier look—which, let's face it, isn't every car collector's cup of tea, but hey, variety is the spice of life, right?
