1988 Peugeot 505 STX review from North America
"If it wears out I will get another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator failed.
Seat heat switches stuck on.
Water pump started leaking, and normal maintenance.
General comments?
This is the best driving car I have ever had. I like it better then the Alfa ut replaced and it is much more fun to drive then my new Mercedes Benz E-class. I use it as my daily driver and will be bummed out when it wears out. The most comfortable seats in the world bar none. I installed a elite suspension kit from Europe and it is a Handler. I could go on forever, a neat car.
