As tough as Austrialia - I beg to differ - the 505 was a huge step downwards for Peugeot in terms of build quality and durability.
I knew several people who had been with Peugeot all their lives 404 then 504 etc until they bought a 505. Those things just fell apart. :rolleyes:

Old school! I bought a brochure for an E30 3-Series at last year's car show in the RDS. It's fun to look at now and then as I'm hopefully getting (inheriting) the car in a year or two. Pretty nice car to start off with!

(edit: like so:

I agree - but the two door version looks far nicer than the four door.
I almost bought a 320i 2 door (1988) model a few years back - had a Golf Gti at the time and decided id keep my Golf.
The beemer was nice and silky smooth but drank the juice at an alarming rate. :rolleyes:

I had it on loan for a weekend

Well it is advertising! I like the 505 design and understood them to be pretty durable - thick steel and good undercoating. I only know of one in the area, some chap in south Kilkenny has a red one on a '89 plate.

I was at an auction in wales last month where a 505 estate with 497,000 miles on it went for nearly five hundred sterling, more than a lot of cars with less than sixty thousand miles made.

so they obviously have some sort of following
