Peugeot 308 finance calculator Not a lender. Not a broker. Financing a Peugeot 308 in New Zealand
The 308 is Peugeot's core hatch in New Zealand and the nameplate with the longest continuous NZ history in the current lineup. The parc mixes NZ-new 308 II (pre-2021) and current 308 III stock through Inchcape NZ with a smaller used-market trickle of earlier 308 I cars. The 1.2 PureTech turbo petrol dominates current stock, with older 1.6 HDi diesel on used examples and occasional GTi performance variants on the enthusiast market. The 308 is cross-shopped against the VW Golf, Mazda3, Hyundai i30, and sister-brand Citroen C4 by buyers wanting European hatch feel at mainstream pricing rather than stepping up to premium-German alternatives.

Who this suits
Who buys a Peugeot 308?
- Commuters doing 12,000 to 18,000 km a year who want European hatch feel without stepping up to a premium-German price bracket.
- Second-car households adding a 308 for city and school-run duty alongside a larger 3008 or 5008.
- Buyers cross-shopping the VW Golf or Mazda3 who value Peugeot's i-Cockpit interior layout and a typically lower sticker at matched spec.
- Enthusiast buyers targeting 308 GTi variants as a performance hatch with smaller loan sizes than an equivalent Golf GTI.
Financing notes
What financing a 308 usually looks like.
At $18,000 across a 5-year term at 8%, the weekly repayment sits at roughly $82 a week or $355 a month (indicative). 308 residuals sit slightly below the mainstream hatch average, so a 3 to 4 year term with a reasonable deposit is the cleaner structure than a 5 to 7 year stretch on a used 308 II. Current-generation 308 III handles 5 years more comfortably.
Model-specific questions
Peugeot 308 finance FAQ.
Is a used Peugeot 308 a safe financing choice in New Zealand?
Yes on NZ-new 308 II cars (2014 onwards) with complete Inchcape NZ service records, particularly 1.2 PureTech petrol variants which share mechanicals across the wider Stellantis small-to-mid range. On older 308 I and early 308 II 1.6 HDi diesel stock, a pre-purchase inspection focused on DPF and timing chain work is worth the modest cost before committing to a finance term longer than 3 years.
Does the Peugeot 308 hold its value like a VW Golf or Mazda3?
Not quite. 308 residuals sit slightly below the mainstream hatch average in NZ because European small-hatch demand has thinned against SUV growth and Peugeot volume is modest. Expect a 3-year-old 308 to retain around 44 to 54% of list price against 50 to 58% on a Golf or Mazda3. Used-308 loan terms commonly run three to four years with a reasonable deposit, which keeps the balance ahead of the depreciation curve.
Is a $18,000 used 308 straightforward to finance?
The amount is well within what lenders write on used cars, so the terms usually turn on the car's age and history rather than the price. Where a 308 has a complete record it is an ordinary application; where the record is thin, a shorter term is the common outcome.
How does the 308 compare with a Golf on resale?
Indicative NZ used-market trends put the Golf ahead, mostly because its buyer pool here is larger. That gap is what a lender is pricing, and it is the argument for a deposit on a longer term rather than a reason to avoid the car.
