1993 Peugeot 205 grd review from UK and Ireland

"Get it, you won't look back and for about £500 what have you got to lose??"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

One oil leak.

Believe it or not nothing has gone wrong with it.

General comments?

When I first had the GRD diesel engine I was extremely please with its all around performance its handling was great and the body work was in great condition.

It would start first time in and kind of weather first time every time.

This car never once let me down I couldn't have asked for a better car for only five hundred pound.

If you want a cheap car that will never let you down and that's cheap to run then get a grd.

I'm only 22 so I changed the diesel engine and I fitted a Mi 16 super chipped engine to it so its now faster than most cars around. I spent about five thousand pound on the engine and the upgrade, but worth every penny. this car will easily take on any other Mi 16 peugeot and come off the best each and everytime lol.

I have a one off body kit fitted and I have spent 3k on amps and subs for the car. I also added flip paint to it. I don't have any door handles they have been taken out and I've had them smoothed into the body work. I open the doors by remote control.

I have also added security film to the car so no one car break into it.

Going back to how it used to be it was a great car.

If you want a good car for very cheap money then this is the car for you without a doubt.

I paid five hundred pound for my car when it was standard, but since I have changed the engine and added a one off body kit the car is now worth just over £8,500.
