2+ Peugeot 308 Cars for Sale in South Africa

Peugeot’s 308 has always played the outsider in South Africa, never quite muscling in on the Golf’s turf or winning over folks who just want fuss-free motoring. Two used listings say it all: if you’re after one today, you’re hunting for something different, not following the crowd. Both cars on offer come with petrol engines — you get either the zingy 1.2T PureTech three-cylinder or the older 1.6 THP, and you’ll row your own gears because it’s manual or nothing. Pricing stretches from R99,900 to R149,900, with an average of R124,900, so if you pack smart and aren’t chasing badge snobbery, French charm is now surprisingly affordable.

There’s a real fork in the road between these two: the 1.6 THP Premium Pack is your budget ticket at R99,900, while the fresher 1.2T PureTech Active costs a hefty R149,900 — on paper at least, that smaller engine’s efficiency and turbo punch fetch a premium. Both cars are from 2011 to 2016, average 112,019 km, and if you’re thinking of biting, you’ll want to check timing belts and engine mounts before anything else. The 308 always stood out for its cabin flair and steering that makes Jozi traffic less of a chore, but parts availability will test your patience. With no new imports, this is a used-only deal for buyers who know what they’re getting into and why that matters.
