Millions of 306s were built in the nineties, but in the Netherlands only a few are still registered. If you are looking for one with damage, as a project or as a donor car, on this page you will find what our affiliated car dealers, traders and dismantling companies offer, from the Netherlands and abroad. Filter by year of manufacture, body style or type of damage and contact the seller yourself.
What our partners buy in determines what is listed here, and it changes by the day. Peugeot built the 306 from 1993 to 2002 in four body styles and with a long engine list, from basic diesels to a hot hatch with a six-speed gearbox that is still sought after. That distinction determines everything about the value.
The three- and five-door hatchback was the backbone of sales, supplemented by a saloon and, from 1997, an estate. Under the bonnet were petrol engines from 1.1 to 2.0 litres and the well-known 1.9 diesel, with or without turbo.
These versions come in with us mainly as donor vehicles. The technology is simple and can almost always still be got running; the bodywork decides whether a car is worth the trouble.
With the diesels, also look at the injectors and the glow plug system. On a cheap car, those are the items that make the difference between driving and standing still.
The estate is now the rarest, simply because it was on sale for the shortest time and has been driven the hardest.
The cabriolet was given its own bodywork with styling by Pininfarina and is now regarded as a sought-after modern classic. It comes with the 1.6 and 2.0 petrol engine, with a manually or electrically operated roof.
With a damaged example, it comes down to the roof and the mechanism beneath it. Ask for photos of the roof in both the open and the closed position, because a deformed roof well at the rear makes closing impossible.
With this model, also look at the points where the roof attaches to the windscreen frame; that is where leaks start on many examples.
At the top were the sporty versions. The S16 and later the GTI-6 with its 167 hp and six-speed gearbox are regarded as among the better hot hatches of their day, and the stripped-out Rallye is a firm favourite among enthusiasts.
Their value is rising rather than falling. So with these versions, always check the chassis number and the type plate, because a spoiler and a set of seats do not make an XR a GTI-6.
With the GTI-6, also ask whether the six-speed gearbox still shifts smoothly. A worn second gear is a well-known and costly fault on this version.
A fixed stock list would make no sense for stock like this. You decide for yourself what your Peugeot 306 salvage car must meet:
Nothing seen today? With a car that has been out of production for more than twenty years, something turns up regularly. Save your search or this page and check back now and then.
Do you see a suitable car? The listing contains detailed photos and the whole damage description, including the seller’s details.
Different rules apply to a modern classic than to a modern car: the purchase price is low, but the wrong damage can still make a project prohibitively expensive. Four points are decisive.
Rust is the 306’s main enemy. Go over the rear wings, the edges around the rear window, the sills and the floor under the rear seat. On the estate, the seam around the tailgate comes on top of that.
A car with heavy bodywork damage but a sound floor is almost always a better basis than a good-looking example that has rotted away from underneath. So always ask for images of the underside.
New body panels for the 306 have not been available for years, and the aftermarket copies that do exist seldom match the fit of original material. That is where your opportunity lies: through our platform, wings, doors and tailgates come from a salvage vehicle that is already in the Netherlands, for a fraction of what they once cost new.
With a car of this age, the market value on paper amounts to little, so a vehicle is quickly classed as a total loss. That says nothing about what is technically wrong with it.
Weigh up, car by car, whether repair is realistic or whether the value lies mainly in the individual parts: the engine, the gearbox, the interior or, on a sporty version, the model-specific components.
Start with the registration document and the chassis number, and gather everything that supports the history: old inspection reports, service invoices and, for an import, the full import file.
Also check that there is no block on the car. With complete papers, re-registration or export to France, Belgium or Germany is a good deal simpler.
Even with a cheap car, you want to know who you are dealing with. That is why we only make room for recognised dealers who are members of organisations such as the Vereniging Schadevoertuighandel (VSV) and the Stichting Verzekeringsbureau Voertuigcriminaliteit (VbV). A good share of their stock comes directly from insurers.
Every Peugeot 306 salvage car on our platform comes with clear photos and detailed specifications. They show you in advance whether it is confined to bodywork damage or whether there is more to it, for example to the floor or the drivetrain.
Want to see more? Ask the dealer for images of the sills and the floor under the rear seat. On a car of this age, that decides whether a project is feasible.
You arrange everything with the dealer directly, with no middleman. That makes a difference to the price and to the number of links in the chain. What is more, a damaged 306 costs significantly less than a comparable one without damage. What else we offer you:
From restorers looking for a project to dismantling companies that need parts: the audience is small but knows exactly what it wants. Do you recognise yourself here?
With a car of this age, a project stands or falls on the supply of parts. That is why we offer more than the car alone: you will also find Peugeot salvage cars and high-quality used car parts for this specific model.
That way the car and the parts to complete it come from the same companies. It saves you a long hunt for body panels that have not existed new for ages.
Do you buy in a professional capacity? Then from a single account you keep the incoming stock and the available donor vehicles together.
“Our dealers go through a selection process beforehand and continually top up their stock. As a result, something new keeps turning up on this page: if there is nothing today, that may be different tomorrow. With a car that has been out of production for so long, a dealer knows exactly what can and can no longer be had. They tell you precisely what the damage does to repair costs and to residual value.”
Doing up a damaged 306 with used parts is affordable and at the same time a conscious choice. Continuing to use an existing car takes far fewer raw materials than building a new one.
With a modern classic, that counts for more. Every year such a car stays on the road, it spreads its original production over more kilometres. And every 306 that serves as a donor keeps dozens of other examples on the road. Those parts therefore belong in another car and not on the scrap heap. We are glad to help with that.
Do you have a question about one particular Peugeot 306 in our listings, for example about the condition of the floor, the originality of a sporty version or the roof of a cabriolet? Put it to the dealer who has the car in stock.
Their telephone number and email address are at the bottom of the listing.
Is your question about how buying a salvage car from us works? Then first read through the frequently asked questions from users. If that does not settle it, feel free to email us; you will find our details on the customer service page.
No. The stock comes from our affiliated partners and changes daily, and fewer and fewer 306s are on the road in the Netherlands. Save your search or this page and check back regularly.
That depends on where it is. Surface rust on a wing or a door can be dealt with, because those parts are replaceable. If it is in the floor, the sills or the suspension strut towers, it becomes a matter of welding and the cost of repair mounts quickly.
It means that the insurer considers the repair more expensive than the car is worth on paper. With a car more than twenty years old, that value is low, so the threshold is reached with even limited damage. Technically there is often nothing wrong.
For the mechanicals it is not too bad, because many engines and transmissions are shared with other Peugeots and Citroëns of that period. Body panels, interior parts and the cabriolet roof are scarce, though; for those, a salvage vehicle from our listings will get you to the right part by far the fastest.
Yes, provided the export papers and the car’s file are complete. For France, Belgium or Germany you need the full registration document. Check beforehand that there is no block on the car.
No. As a marketplace we bring supply and demand together; the sale is with our partner. You therefore make warranty arrangements with the party offering the car.
