Peugeot 2008 , Dedicated Discussion Thread

I bought from 7th avenue too. But it is still showing on Peugeot website as well as showing open on google.
You might have recieved a promotional SMS.

Go to:

https://www.peugeot-luckymotorcorp.com/find-a-dealer/

Enter Islamabad

This is what you get:

This is the message (below) from Lucky Motors (NOT Metropolis):

Note the Number in the text, its Peugeot Pakistan not Metropolis. If Peugeot (Lucky - Peugeot ) wants me to go to Metropolis, then they have likely broken off contact with all other dealerships or cancelled their dealership status.

Kia Lucky, also doesnt have the Expressway dealer listed anymore either

Other members can also confirm this by visiting the pages linked here. I have also written to Peugeot Pakistan and will post their reply when received.

[heddie191]

That is really weird. I was able to contact their manager just 1day before you got this message on in order to inquire about interest free lease deal. I don't think Expressway was ever a Kia dealer too like Metropolis is. Anyways, will confirm but I guess it is still operational and this is something temporary.

You can see on google it says temporarily close but for peugeot it is operational.

Also please do share once you get a reply to your email.

Thanks

[alitayyab]

WIll do.

As regards to Expressway being a Kia dealer, IIRC I saw Kia showroom right at the front, but could be wrong. The workshop was to the right in the basement.

[heddie191]

Okay so I was able to talk to the owners. Yes @alitayyab Peugeot Expressway is no more. They're bringing Toyota in the same plaza. That only leaves Peugeot owners with Peugeot Metropolis. Sad news TBH

[alitayyab]

My greater concern is that is it Lucky Winding down or dealerships getting weary of Lucky? Is it time to ditch the Peugeot and get a Toyota?

[heddie191]

Lucky's latest price of Stonic is also a a huge surprise. And not everyone can add 3-3.5M to get a cross over Peugeot. I will keep Peugeot for 5 years at least no matter what happens.

[alitayyab]

I think they are just wrapping up stonic, since it was not a huge seller in Korea. They're likely to sell at no loss or min. profit/ dealer margin to clear inventory. Can also mean they may introduce a smaller SUV, but that seem unlikely.

[qaiserh30]

Just got mine a month ago and they reduced the price of Peugeot. DAMN!

[alitayyab]

...and that too by 4.5lakhs. Although not quiet as tempting as the stonic, but still...

It is either to get rid of old inventory to make room for the FL
OR its a dangerous omen with regards to the future of the product

[heddie191]

Hello bhai, By any chance do you have a black Peugeot? Do you live in DHA 5?

[alitayyab]

Yes
No, Islamabad

[heddie191]

DHA 5, Islamabad?

[alitayyab]

No, F-11

[alitayyab]

I guess, Peugeot uptake hasnt been like Stonics. No "booking closed" notice on Peugeot's (Pakistan) page.

[chattytexan2]

I think wont happen until they bring the price further down to around high 50's or low 60's

[heddie191]

Why his thread gets dead after a while?

[alitayyab]

Not much to discuss that has already been discussed I guess.

[heddie191]

Can Android auto get connected without the wire??

[alitayyab]

No. You need either a wired to wireless solution like AAwireless or Motorola MA1. The other option is a carplay like device that is in itself a mini andriod device with a sim slot. The latter is sold by JDM experts. I have one of the latter devices. There is noticable lag but it does get you wireless AA.

If one Google's this, the best of the bunch is usually AAwireless, but they dont ship to Pakistan and it is not on aliexpress. So options are amazon or someone who lives in their area of shipping (most of Europe, but not UK AFAIK).

IF you do plan on AAwireless, there is a compatibility checker on their website (both phones and cars).
