Rackedoutofficer Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hi fellow Peugeot lovers! I made a rookie mistake a couple of weeks ago and I thought I would join this site to see if any of you guys would be interested in helping me out. I was born and raised in England and absolutely love the 505 platform. I've had a few of them, wagons and sedans. And have wanted one here for a long time.. I found a beautiful one on Craigslist locally which apparently only needed a new fuel pump. It was cheap enough so I jumped on it when I saw it, because body and interior wise it's in excellent condition for the age. Long story short it had been garage stored for 5 years and the bloody motor is totally locked up from sitting.. I'm not that good of a mechanic to be able to work on that, so I'm just going to sell the car.. It's a 83 505 S Wagon with the turbo diesel motor. It's in exceptionally good shape inside and only has 90k miles. Everything seems to work apart from the motor. The body has minor dings and scratches, but it's actually very clean. And hardly any rust. I have a clean title, but no key. I had to jimmy the ignition to get it to light up.. Ideally I'd like to get my money back out of it. It would be a very valuable car if the engine was repaired, as it's just such a nice one. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks, Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hi Nathan, I would highly recommend more detailed pictures of the car inside and out, as well as your exact location. This site gets a surprising amount of worldwide traffic, so if anyone close you comes across this advert they should know immediately how close it is. Good luck with sale, and if you want to give working on the car a try let us know. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunktionFET Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 ^Yes... where are you located and can we see more of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
504 turbo diesel Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 i would be interested in this wagon if the price is right and you are somewhere near me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Nathan emailed me earlier: Car is located in Shelbyville Indiana, and he has $1800 in the car. Hopefully Nathan can add more details and pictures of the car to show condition. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rackedoutofficer Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Sorry about not replying sooner everyone. I was expecting to get an email notification when I had any replies to the post. I didn't realize I had to log into the site to see them. I'm located in Shelbyville Indiana, just outside Indianapolis. I will try and get some more pics of the car asap. I've been busy with moving house, so this kind of fell by the way side! I have $1800 in the car, so I would like that back for it. If I cant get that for it I'm just going to keep it. My new house has a barn with room for 30 cars, so space is no longer an issue! I just would rather it went to someone who will have the time and resources to repair it, as it will probably sit in the barn for a few more years before I can afford to get the engine repaired. Thanks, And I'll review this more often now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rackedoutofficer Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Haha I wish Shelbyville was as cool as this one.. It's significantly boring and drug ridden at the moment.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunktionFET Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'm going to the car meet in Bloomington on Oct 11... at least I really really want to and hope that I can. Anyway if I do, I might make a detour northeast to your neck of the woods to at least take a look at the car. I figure I might as well since I seldom (if ever) go to Indiana.
