Hello, first off I am new here, so thank you all for the welcome. I've been trying to buy a Peugeot now for a while. I'd love a 205 but at this point I'd settle for anything. I know they are rare in the US market as the 404 and the 505 I believe were the only ones actually sold in USA and I believe everything else was imported (I could be wrong so apologies) so I'd prefer a "base" 205 (not gti or ralleye or t16) or a 405 or the 505 BUT open to just any model. I've done some bidding on ebay and I have used bring a trailer and cars and bid.com and still have been unsuccessful. My last attempt was via ebay for a 505 turbo. I got outbid on the last seconds and it sold for $2700 roughly. I'm located in MA. I'd love for it to be closer but honestly I'm just looking for someone who is trying to maybe depart with theirs. I will pay for shipping etc. So anyone selling a Peugeot? Maybe around the $3k-$6k range give or take. I'm negotiable. N idk for whatever it's worth I have two jags I would sell/trade in a heart beat for a Peugeot (92 xjs v12 auto and an 03 x type [Ford mondeo lol] manual) Idk just anyone with any interest at all. Please PM me. I was told to try Peugeot fan forums because people are always selling them. So here I am. I've tried ebay, I've tried bring a trailer, I've tried Cars and bid and like I said I either miss the listing entirely (because they get listed so rarely) or when I do finally catch one and bid on it, I get out bid. So idk, just want to try my luck here. I'm not a licensed mechanic by any means but I have enough knowledge and I do my own work on my jags (if anyone knows the xjs v12 lol not an EZ beast to work on) so I'm confident I could handle a Peugeot. In other words I'm not looking for like a mint condition car. Just something that runs and is in decent shape and maybe just needs some TLC. Would prefer the 205 (but I know how RARE those are, stock wise in USA. Most are ralleye or gti and in the 10k plus so out of my range) buy I will take a 505, 405 hell, I will take the hand cranked 404. Just anyone with any slight interest let me know. Have a Peugeot? Want to sell it for a somewhat low price cause maybe not in the best shape and u just need to get rid of it? Please contact me. Make someone happy. It may sounds very sad buy man all I want is a Peugeot. People aim to own rolls Royse phantoms, aston Martin's etc I would be 100% content with a Peugeot lol. My dream make and being an American loving a Peugeot is very hard. Make someone's dream come true lol. Please PM if anyone fits this category. Thx again and sorry my first post is a rather "desperate" sounding one but man, in MA and my luck online. I'm just not having any and so I don't know what else to do. Hopefully the advice of seeking out the Peugeot fan forums works out. Thx again for taking the time to read this post and everyone of you Americans that own a Peugeot, man be happy. Truly tho. Like u have no idea how lucky u are. Whatever model u own. Love it, only get rid of them if you absolutely must but man idk I would absolutely love to own a Peugeot.

Hello everyone! I am interested in learning more about 505's as I don't know that much about them. I'm sort of looking for a project car and my uncle has a 505 turbo (86 I think) that has been sitting in a half enclosed shed for at least 20 years. I understand that when the car was parked it ran and drove, and I don't know what caused it to be abandoned. He has been talking about getting rid of it, and I am thinking about the possibility of trying to get it going again and saving it from an unknown fate. My first question is what resources should I call upon if I were to try to get it on the road again? Where can I look for more information about these cars? What are some common problems that these cars have? Where do y'all get parts? I have some mechanical aptitude and would do all the work myself of course, and I am trying to decide if it's something I want to undertake. I live in Oregon and the car was originally purchased in California. Thanks!

Hello, I have an 88 505 turbo 5 spd for sale. This car has been driven less than 1,000 miles since a $5,000 top end overhaul and new turbo done by imported car center in vermont. It has a bit of rust on the right side rear wheel well and a different color trunk from a rear end collision that was also fixed at imported car center. The car is an 86 with 220000 KM made in canada, has a motor and transmission swap from an 88 turbo. I also have a manual 88 turbo parts car and an 88 turbo automatic parts car. I have extra hoods, trunk lids w/ and without spoiler, 89 taillights, etc. Also for sale is an 87 505 v6 that has been sitting for 5 years ran fine then broken control arm, sunroof cracked mildew have been cleaning up. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I can get some pics up soon. If you have an interst in anything make an offer. Thanks, Jerome [email protected]

Let's start with the ugly: the Cylinder head is failing. It is almost certainly cracked, and it is leaking. It would be nice to keep it in the family, so I'm posting this here first. I've owned this 1986 Peugeot 505 N9Te wagon for over 14 years. It's my second 505 (the 1983 STI was driven away at 220,000 miles) and it has served as a luxury car and a hauler of astonishing loads. The problem is that I'm going through another episode of life changes, and just don't want to do the mechanical work on another car. And the last Peugeot mechanic in the Bay Area is an hour away by car - and 2-3 hours by transit for pick up. This is an entirely rust-free vehicle (no surface corrosion, bubbles or "spots"); it was first sold and always kept in the semi-arid regions of California. No damage, dents or holes. It retains a beautiful, blue interior with supple leather, all athe carpeting, and dashboard are intact. All insturments and lights work. What else? I'm asking $2000 Who am I?
