Guest Neile 505S Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Hello, I live in Zuni, Va. in the Hampton Roads area. I have a 1986 Peugeot 505s, Gas, aprox 160,000 mi. The odometer was replaced by the original owner at or about 35,000 mi. I inherited it from my aunt who bought it from the original owner about 7 years ago. I have driven it fairly light over the years since I'm at home mostly. I was rejected last year for a right front end tie rod joint, and ended up buying a new truck since I have moved to the country and drive dirt roads now. The car still runs good. Besides the tie rod, the A/C works but needs a climate control module. Right now its rigged with a switch on or off. It became undependable last year when I got stranded a few times because of a failing fuel pump which I eventually replaced with a new one. Allot of things like sun roof, cruise control, power/heated mirrors/seats no longer work. Since I am on disability and needed something more dependable. I didnt want to invest any more money into it so its up for a minimal offer, or part out. It would be nice to see it go to a good home for someone who appreciates 505's. Since its no longer legal. I would have to have it towed to the junk yard. It would be nice if someone could just take it from here. Pictures Attached: I love this car its a classic.

norcal505 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 It's so much like mine, or how mine used to be, just a few years newer, and different trim. Someone needs to pick it up and fix it up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick@nite Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Rust anywhere??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neile 505S Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 No rust. The car was painted 6 years ago but has faded already. I had replaced all the plastic/chrome trim with new, replaced the pin stripe, and repainted the rims. The plastic trim now looks like it did before I had it painted. Like I said this is good for someone with the time, money, and enthusiasim to keep her in shape. I even went as far as contacting Pimp My Ride to get it restored. But you have to practicaly be a teen ager and live in Southern California, LOL. I would just like to make it available to another enthusiast.
