Craig in Alviso Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 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?

Silver-Gray exterior, dark blue interior The ZF4HP22 automatic transmission (rebuilt two years ago) works perfectly. New tires (and I mean new) on original 15" alloys New battery Alternator has new diodes (waited too long on the battery) All suspension and brake components are good Passed smog 2014 registration complete It is equipped with all the mid-1980s luxuries: · Cruise control · Climate control · Air conditioning (works, but you know this isn't American A/C) · Heated seats (both work) · Rear window washer · "Euro" (Argentine) glass headlamps amber (legal) · Fog lights - amber to match the headlamps · Peugeot roof rack (to go between the standard rails) · Peugeot mud flaps · Lightly tinted rear and side windows · Custom trailer hitch (that doesn't interfere with the spare) · Electric fans replaced the clutch fan · AM/FM radio with CD, 6-speakers (antenna no longer retracts) · Electric windows (one slow, switches fussy) · Power door locks (inexplicibly stop working occasionally, but usually work fine) · Plip remote door lock transmitter and matching receiver (never installed, and still in the box). · Trip-odometer doesn't reset Photos at http://www.505turbo.com/forum/index.php?/user/1203-craig-in-alviso/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommtl Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi Craig Did you think about dismanteling it and selling parts? I am looking for some parts for mine in Québec Canada. Thank you, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethx Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 hi thomas i can't speak for craig, but since his wagon is clean, rust-free, (somewhat) running with current smog and registration, i imagine his first choice would probably be to sell it complete to someone who would do the necessary repairs, use it and appreciate it as-is... what parts are you looking for? you could post a "parts wanted" post in this forum... andré Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
