it was dark coloured, that's all i remember so it could've been dark grey or dark brown or black or something like that. but the interior and exterior were in great shape, just the engine was out. the metric wheels were off it but in okay shape too.
-
IMO (though consider I live in a state where no hondas before 1995 exist because they've all rusted away) the rust isn't too bad. there are a few holes under the rear seats but structurally it's solid.
the paint can be stripped and it repainted its original colour and it'd look nice.

Followed up on a craigslist ad for a 505 diesel for $600. It's more of a project than I can take on, but the guy has a few others.
He wants to get rid of them or crush them so someone needs to save them. If interested I can send his contact info. Fredericktown Ohio
1. 81 505 turbo diesel. turbo is off but it runs and drives. needs work (car I followed up on) needs a repaint
2. 85(?) 505 4cy with nice aftermarket wheels, mud flaps, etc. has been sitting
3. 505 turbo wagon. super nice body and interior. engine is out of it.

Sorry you had a bad experience. that guy is crazy. I had him repair a 505 of mine and he totally fscked up the electrical system
-
Yea whatever. With GM investing do they have any plans of coming back? didn't think so.
-
If this auction falls thru it's getting scrapped unfortunately

Hi André,
I think it's just that the iPhone camera is just that much better than mine. I didn't have to do any adjustments on the pics.
Yea there aren't really any peugeot specialists around here in the midwest that i know of. he just didn't know what he was doing. IDK, when i work on a computer i don't return it to a client in worse shape than i got it... still a bit peeved by the whole situation.
I have four peugeot logo mud flaps so i'm gonna put one on each wheel.
the 405 is a different car, fwd, more modern, cheaper interior than the 505. they drive differently. they're still both very comfortable though.
Mike T: yea i know, i need to unbolt the bumper, pull it and reattach.
Side note: how do you like your Merc B class? Supposedly the states are getting the next rev.

thanks Rob
-
well, i just had my mi16 repainted...
is that a CXA car? it doesn't look like it
-
better pics from my coworkers iPhone at the same time.
-
looks good!
have you had a chance to get the clutch fixed yet?
andré
Hi André :-)
yea the clutch is fixed... though the mechanic that replaced the clutch (not the guy that painted it) fscked up a bunch of stuff. it doesn't start cleanly anymore, it stutters and i have to hold the gas for a few until it warms up. and he broke the speedo cable on top of the other niggles with it.
I need to pull the bumper on the passenger side so it's straight. the glovebox latch got broken while the clutch was getting fixed. there are a few grounding and other electrical issues. the fog lights don't work, ABS doesn't work
but it runs and drives, starts and mostly stops, the heat and heated seats work.
After I get the above stuff fixed I'll put my peugeot mud flaps on and maybe try my hand at a rear fog light like i did on my old 505.
I'm happy with the paint though, it's very pretty.
-
still needs work but it has a fresh coat of paint now. rainy day and crappy cell phone camera:

You Californians and your non rusting cars...

I've put a vw rabbit rad in mine. Been fine for a year so far

Sold to a new Peugeot owner, got him out of not worth fixing MKIII VW...
I hope he takes good care of this, one of the nicer Mi's on the east coast...
That roof rack is sexxxyyyy

There are no Zero's in the 5 digit radio code, Should be for a 89' Mi made by Alpine
You use the presets buttons to enter the code
Thanks for the info
I guess I am SOL for the OEM head unit then. Which is a pity. It's getting a clutch and paint in two weeks, which is exciting. Then I can start tackling the other niggles.
-
Peugeot cannot access Radio codes anymore, Brian Holm asked us if we could call Peugeot so maybe he could sell some radios that he needed the codes for. We did and they cannot
I do have a J4 Pressure plate in stock that I would be willing to let go cheap just to get it off our shelf...
So why does Peugeot Motors America exist again? They seem pretty fucking useless.
The radio code is written on the radio in a few places supposedly, but i cannot figure out how to input zeros. Proly just tear it out and find a head unit with Sirius built in if i decide to keep it
-
Glutton indeed! lol
I've only ever driven one on a test drive, and the older lady that was selling it insisted on coming with, so naturally I didn't get to give it a good drive. I was impressed with the comfort and the refinement of it though.
Good luck with the car and keep us posted on what of you think of it once you get it going...
Rabin
BTW - nice to hear the 505 is going to a nice home too.
Thanks guys
I'll see how well it does once the clutch is replaced - i can't romp on it too hard yet hehe. I might have to replace the factory head unit - i can't find anywhere online how to enter the code. Other than that so far so good.

... With my newest acquisition. 1989 405 mi16 from the Philadelphia area
http://www.amacgeek.com/blog/2011/2/26/new...t-405-mi16.html

Good:
- no rust
- nice interior - pretty clean
- most everything appears to work - lights, seats, sunroof, etc.
Bad:
- slipping clutch
- OEM radio needs security code
- will need a PS pump soon
- heater control flap stuck - in the cold position lol
- paint faded
- windshield wiper fluid pump appears DOA
The clutch is perfectly drivable. I will not be autocrossing it any time soon though...
I'll have the clutch replaced and it painted by spring hopefully (yay for promotion, rise and bonus at work)
As for my 505? a friend of mine is going to be taking it - he wants to finish fixing it. To go a little OEMPlus on it.
-
Not to thread jack. But you have to be like that or craigslist is useless unfortunately.
If anyone wants the car btw name your price, i want it gone. I cant be too picky in this market with this type of vehicle.

The engine on the black 85 still turns even though it's the base 4cy. Someone should get that wagon up and running w/ any engine (and put a manual into it...)
You'd have to put wheels on the wagon and tow it out of a field but it's doable and worth it if you have the time to put toward it.
