Question 1

How much does a used Peugeot 308 cost in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In November 2026 older T9 cars from 2015 to 2017 start from about ¥240,000 FOB. Nearly new 2026 GT Hybrid models cost roughly ¥3.75 million to ¥4.47 million FOB, and the GT Plug-in Hybrid about ¥5.29 million to ¥5.5 million FOB. Shipping, duty and taxes are extra.

Question 2

What are the Peugeot 308 generations?

Accepted Answer

The 308 has three generations in Japan: the T7 from 2008, the T9 from 2014 and the current P5 from 2022. The T9 is the most common in cheap stock, and the P5 appears as a hybrid and plug-in hybrid. Hatchback and SW estate bodies are both available.

Question 3

Can I import a Peugeot 308 to the US?

Accepted Answer

Not at present. The US 25-year rule in November 2026 covers cars built up to late 2001, and the 308 was launched after that, so no 308 is eligible. Canada's 15-year rule may cover the earliest T7 cars, but you should check current rules and compliance before buying.

Question 4

Is a Peugeot 308 from Japan left-hand drive?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, because many European cars sold in Japan are left-hand drive. That suits buyers in left-hand-drive countries, but RHD markets should check each listing. The steering side is stated in the stock details or on the auction sheet, so confirm it before you pay.

Question 5

What should I check on a used 308?

Accepted Answer

Check the service history first, then the engine. Some small petrol engines use a belt running in oil, and older 1.6 turbo engines can suffer timing chain wear. On hybrids, ask for the battery condition. Read the auction sheet grade and request photos of the dashboard with the engine running.

Question 6

How do I ship a Peugeot 308 from Japan?

Accepted Answer

Most 308 hatchbacks and SW estates go by RoRo, which is the cheaper option. A container gives extra protection for a newer hybrid or plug-in hybrid. ZervTek arranges either one and provides the export certificate, invoice and bill of lading you need to clear customs at home.

Question 7

How much is a used Peugeot e-2008 in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In November 2026, ZervTek stock showed e-2008s from about ¥1.35 million FOB for a 2022 GT. 2023 cars ranged from about ¥2.49 million to ¥3.8 million, and a 2024 GT was about ¥4.97 million.

Question 8

What is the range of the Peugeot e-2008?

Accepted Answer

The launch car has a 50 kWh battery and a claimed WLTP range of around 320 km. Real range depends on speed, temperature and battery age, so ask for a battery health report before you buy.

Question 9

Does the Japanese e-2008 use CHAdeMO?

Accepted Answer

Japan's own standard is CHAdeMO, while Europe uses CCS2. Check the inlet on the specific car and the chargers in your country, because adapting a charge port can be complicated.

Question 10

Can I import an e-2008 into the USA?

Accepted Answer

No practical route exists. The car is too young for the 25-year exemption, and Peugeot does not sell cars in the US. Buyers there should look at other electric vehicles.

Question 11

Is an e-2008 safe to ship?

Accepted Answer

Yes, EVs ship routinely. Carriers set rules on the battery charge level and handling, so we declare it as an EV when booking. Ask us for the details of your destination port.

Question 12

Allure or GT, which e-2008 is better?

Accepted Answer

The GT is the higher trim with more equipment, while Allure is the lower trim with the same motor and battery. In Japanese stock, prices followed year and battery condition more closely than trim, so compare individual cars rather than assuming Allure is cheaper.

Question 13

Which Peugeot 306 should I import from Japan?

Accepted Answer

If you want driving thrills, target the S16 with its 2.0L 16V XU10J4Z engine. For torque and low running costs, the D-Turbo versions with the XUD engine are top picks—especially models with XS trims (sports seats, body kit, fogs).

Question 14

Is the Peugeot 306 reliable?

Accepted Answer

With basic maintenance, yes. Diesels are bulletproof except for head gaskets. S16s tend to have synchro wear in 2nd/3rd gear and fragile electrical bits. Pre-import inspection is key, which is included with ZervTek sourcing.

Question 15

Are Peugeot 306 parts still available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. European markets still stock most service and mechanical parts. Specialty trim bits or plastics may require sourcing used components from breakers, but core mechanicals are well supported.

Question 16

Can I import this to the USA legally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All pre-2000 Peugeot 306 models are eligible under the USA’s 25-year import rule. ZervTek ensures customs documentation and EPA/DOT exclusions are handled correctly.

Question 17

What’s better—dealer stock or Japanese auctions?

Accepted Answer

Dealer stock in Japan offers added peace of mind and often full service history. But auctions often yield the best deals—if you know how to read condition grades. ZervTek sources from both and handles inspection either way before you commit.

Question 18

How much does a used Peugeot 508 cost in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In November 2026, first-generation 508 SW cars from 2012 and 2013 in ZervTek stock were about ¥280,000 to ¥400,000 FOB. Second-generation 2020 to 2022 cars, including GT Line and GT BlueHDi, were about ¥1.7 million to ¥2.4 million FOB. Freight and taxes are extra.

Question 19

What does R8AH01 mean on a Peugeot 508?

Accepted Answer

It is a chassis code seen on Japanese listings of second-generation 508 saloons with the 2.0 litre BlueHDi diesel. R85G06 appears on second-generation SW estates and W2W5F02 on first-generation SWs. Check the code against the auction sheet to confirm the generation.

Question 20

Is the Peugeot 508 reliable?

Accepted Answer

Reliability depends mostly on maintenance. Cars with a full service history and a clean diesel emissions system are usually fine, while neglected examples can be costly to fix. Ask for records and an inspection, and read the auction sheet comments on the engine and gearbox.

Question 21

Can I import a Peugeot 508 into the USA?

Accepted Answer

No. Peugeot has not sold the 508 in the US, and the model dates from 2010, so it is too new for the 25-year rule. A Japanese 508 therefore cannot be imported under that exemption, but it can go to markets that accept used recent cars.

Question 22

Which Peugeot 508 is best?

Accepted Answer

The second-generation SW GT Line is the best equipped, the GT BlueHDi is best for long distance, and a first-generation SW Allure is the cheapest estate. Choose according to budget and to how well Peugeot is supported in your country, because parts and servicing vary.

Question 23

What is a 508 SW?

Accepted Answer

The SW is the estate version of the 508, with a longer roof and a larger boot than the saloon. Both generations have an SW, and Japanese stock includes many of them, including the 2012 Allure, the 2020 GT Line and the 2021 SW GT Line.

Question 24

Is the Peugeot 206 XS a good daily driver?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It offers great city fuel economy (28–32 mpg), tight urban maneuverability with a 4.9m turning radius, and a fun, responsive driving experience.

Question 25

What chassis code should I look for when importing?

Accepted Answer

Look for the GH-T1NFU model. This 1.6L XS-spec offers the best blend of power, agility, and JDM rarity. They're most sought-after among JDM imports.

Question 26

Are parts available for maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Peugeot parts for the 206 platform are still widely available in Europe and through aftermarket suppliers online. The TU5 engine is also widely serviced.

Question 27

How hard is it to find a good one in Japan?

Accepted Answer

Surprisingly manageable. Japanese auctions still list Grade 3.5 and 4 206 XS units fairly often, but numbers are dropping—stock examples are thinning out.

Question 28

How long does the import process take with ZervTek?

Accepted Answer

Typically 6–10 weeks, depending on inspection, auction availability, and your destination port. ZervTek oversees it all from sourcing to delivery port.

Question 29

How much is a used Peugeot 207 in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In November 2026, ZervTek stock listed 207s from about ¥235,000 FOB. The 207SW Premium estate was about ¥265,000 to ¥270,000, and a 2012 GRIF-trim car was about ¥458,000. Prices depend on year, grade and condition.

Question 30

What is the Peugeot 207SW?

Accepted Answer

The 207SW is the estate version of the 207, with a longer roof, a bigger boot and a panoramic glass roof in many trims. It is the most common 207 in Japanese stock.

Question 31

Is the Peugeot 207 reliable?

Accepted Answer

It can be if serviced on time. Check the automatic gearbox, electrical systems and engine records. A clean auction sheet and a documented history improve your chances.

Question 32

Can I import a Peugeot 207 into the USA?

Accepted Answer

No. The 207 was not sold in the US and it is too young for the 25-year exemption. A US buyer should consider other options.

Question 33

What does Cielo mean on a Peugeot 207?

Accepted Answer

Cielo is a special-edition name in Japanese listings. The 200th anniversary Cielo celebrates Peugeot's founding in 1810, which reached its 200th year in 2010, and examples in stock are 2011 cars.

Question 34

How is a Peugeot 207 shipped?

Accepted Answer

Normally by RoRo, which is the cheapest way for a small car. A shared container costs more but protects the paint and interior.

Question 35

Is the Peugeot 205 GTI worth buying today?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Especially the 1.9 GTI versions, which offer lightweight handling, telepathic steering, and growing collector interest. They're driving icons with upside.

Question 36

How reliable is the Peugeot 205 GTI?

Accepted Answer

They're solid if well-maintained, but expect common issues like head gasket failure (XU engines), gearbox wear, and aging electrics. Japan-sourced examples usually fare better.

Question 37

Why are Japanese imports of Peugeot 205s in better condition?

Accepted Answer

Japan's road salt-free climate, strict inspections, and lower yearly mileage mean 205s there are often rust-free and better preserved—especially rare GTI trims.

Question 38

Can I import a 205 GTI to the UK without issues?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Thanks to EU heritage and age exemptions, a Japanese-imported 205 GTI can be brought into the UK easily. See our full Import to UK Guide for specifics.

Question 39

What’s the best chassis and engine code for performance?

Accepted Answer

Look for the E-20DK chassis with the XU9JA engine. This is the 1.9L GTI setup offering 122–128 hp with strong torque and the most desirable driving dynamics.

Question 40

What is the fuel economy of the Peugeot 307?

Accepted Answer

The fuel economy varies by engine type. For example, the 1.6L 16V engine offers a combined fuel consumption of 7.2 L/100 km, while the 2.0L 16V engine has a combined consumption of 8.3 L/100 km.

Question 41

How does ZervTek ensure the quality of imported vehicles?

Accepted Answer

ZervTek conducts thorough inspections of all vehicles, ensuring they meet high standards of quality and safety before shipping.

Question 42

What are the shipping options for importing a Peugeot 307?

Accepted Answer

ZervTek offers shipping to various destinations, including the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and select African countries. For detailed information, refer to our [Shipping Methods & Ports](https://zervtek.com/resources/roro-and-container-ports-for-importing-japanese-cars) page.

Question 43

What are the engine options available for the Peugeot 607?

Accepted Answer

The Peugeot 607 offers two main engine options: - 2.2L 16V Inline-4 engine producing 158 horsepower. - 3.0L V6 engine producing 211 horsepower. These engines provide a balance of performance and efficiency, catering to different driving preferences.

Question 44

How does importing from Japan benefit me when purchasing a used Peugeot 607?

Accepted Answer

Importing from Japan allows you to access low-mileage, well-maintained Peugeot 607s. Japanese vehicles are known for their reliability and meticulous maintenance, often resulting in cars that are in superior condition compared to those found elsewhere.

Question 45

What is ZervTek's role in the import process?

Accepted Answer

ZervTek handles every aspect of the import process, including sourcing vehicles from Japanese auctions and dealers, conducting thorough inspections, managing inland transport, customs clearance in Japan, paperwork, and shipping to your destination port. We ensure a fast, reliable, and transparent experience for our customers.

Question 46

How much is a used Peugeot 3008 in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In our stock sample, 2011 first-generation cars start from about ¥270,000 FOB, while 2025 GT Hybrid cars cost roughly ¥4.5 million to ¥4.7 million FOB (November 2026). Price depends on generation, grade, mileage and options, and it moves with the exchange rate.

Question 47

What are the Peugeot 3008 generations?

Accepted Answer

There are three. The first generation arrived around 2009 to 2010 with codes such as T85. The second, P84, launched in 2016 as an upright SUV. The third generation, introduced in 2024 and in Japan stock from 2025, is a fastback-style SUV with hybrid grades. Check the chassis code in the listing.

Question 48

Does Japan sell the Peugeot 3008 hybrid?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stock listings of 2025 cars show GT Hybrid, GT Hybrid 4 and GT Hybrid 4 4WD grades. The Hybrid 4 grades add an extra electric motor for four-wheel drive. Ask for a dashboard photo with the ignition on and confirm no hybrid-system fault is recorded.

Question 49

Can I import a Peugeot 3008 to the USA?

Accepted Answer

No. The 25-year exemption currently needs a build date before about the end of 2001, and the first 3008 only appeared in 2009. A newer car would require full US conformity work. Verify the latest federal and state requirements before you plan anything.

Question 50

Is the Peugeot 3008 left-hand or right-hand drive in Japan?

Accepted Answer

Both layouts are found among Japanese used cars, so do not assume. Look at the steering position in the listing photos and specification before you bid. Right-hand-drive markets such as the UK, Australia and New Zealand will need the right layout and must also meet their own compliance rules.

Question 51

What should I check on a Peugeot 3008 auction sheet?

Accepted Answer

Read the overall and interior grades and any repair marks, then the inspector's remarks on warning lights, gearbox behaviour and the hybrid system. Cars graded 4 or higher with a clean repair diagram are the low-risk choices. We translate the sheet for you and can order extra photos.

Question 52

How much does a used Peugeot 208 cost from Japan?

Accepted Answer

In November 2026 a first generation 208 starts from about ¥240,000 FOB, for a 2015 Premium, and a 2014 Allure is about ¥250,000 FOB. A recent GT Hybrid is about ¥3,100,000 to ¥3,810,000 FOB. Shipping and import costs are extra, so compare landed cost.

Question 53

What is the difference between the A9 and P21 Peugeot 208?

Accepted Answer

A9 is the first generation 208, sold from 2012 to 2019, and P21 is the second generation launched in 2019. The P21 has a new platform, a 3D digital instrument display and hybrid and electric options. The A9 is much cheaper and simpler. Japanese listings show these codes in the chassis field.

Question 54

Can I import a Peugeot 208 to the USA?

Accepted Answer

No, not under the 25 year rule. The 208 was first built in 2012, so the earliest cars qualify in 2037. The 208 was also never sold new in the US. If you live in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand or Kenya, right hand drive Japanese cars are much easier.

Question 55

What is the Peugeot 208 GT Hybrid?

Accepted Answer

The GT Hybrid is the top recent grade of the second generation 208 in Japan. It pairs a 1.2 litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 48 volt mild hybrid system and an automatic gearbox. It is a nearly new car, with 2025 and 2026 examples at about ¥3,100,000 to ¥3,810,000 FOB.

Question 56

Are Japanese Peugeot 208s right hand drive?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 208s built for Japan have the steering wheel on the right, so they fit buyers in Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya and similar RHD countries. They are usually low mileage and dealer serviced. You should still confirm the drive side and the condition on the auction sheet before bidding.

Question 57

What should I check on a used Peugeot 208?

Accepted Answer

Check the service history for oil changes, because the small 1.2 litre petrol engines use a timing belt that runs in oil. Test the gearbox for judder, check the touchscreen, suspension and bumpers, and read the auction sheet grade. We can send inspection photos before you pay.

Question 58

How much is a Peugeot 5008 in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In our November 2026 stock, a 2016 first generation 5008 Cielo is about ¥320,000 FOB, a 2022 GT BlueHDi about ¥2,610,000 to ¥2,705,000, and a 2026 GT Hybrid about ¥5,775,910 FOB. Shipping and import taxes are extra on top of these prices.

Question 59

Is the Peugeot 5008 a seven-seater?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 5008 has been sold as a seven-seat family car since the first generation, and the second and third generation are seven-seat SUVs. Check the seating layout on each car in the listing, and ask for photos of the third row before you buy.

Question 60

What is the difference between the first and second generation 5008?

Accepted Answer

The first generation (T87, from 2009) is a tall compact MPV. The second generation (P87, from 2017) is a larger SUV with the i-Cockpit dashboard and better technology. The second generation is more modern and much more expensive than the first generation.

Question 61

Is the Peugeot 5008 diesel or hybrid in Japan?

Accepted Answer

Our stock shows both. The 2022 and 2023 second generation cars are BlueHDi diesels, while the newest 2026 third generation car is a GT Hybrid. Pick diesel for long distances and a lower price, or the hybrid for the newest model.

Question 62

Can I import a Peugeot 5008 to the US?

Accepted Answer

Not under the 25-year rule. In late 2026 only cars built before late 2001 qualify, and no 5008 is old enough. The 5008 was also not sold new in the US. It suits other markets better, but check drive position and local rules first.

Question 63

How do I buy a Peugeot 5008 from Japan with ZervTek?

Accepted Answer

Search our stock or send an inquiry with the year and grade you want. We confirm the price, send inspection photos on request, and you pay within 3 days of a win. We prepare the export certificate, invoice and bill of lading, and ship by RoRo or container.

Question 64

How much is a Peugeot 2008 in Japan?

Accepted Answer

In ZervTek's recent stock listings, first-generation 2008s from 2014 to 2017 started at about ¥250,000 FOB, while 2024 and 2025 GT cars ranged from about ¥2.7 million to ¥3.1 million FOB (November 2026). Prices vary with grade, mileage and auction condition.
