1982 Peugeot 604 td review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has been a most pleasurable car to own. Whenever it needs a new part replaced I can do it myself because I am too cheap and untrusting of all mechanics. You know they are like politicians and only a small handful are honest...
The car drives like a dream and is much tighter than some of my other Peugeots...
I think the French production line employees had no knowledge of this one being a USA model because it is remarkably well put together and surprise surprise, the doors close like a Mercedes......
Of course I have put in an alternator, water pump, vacuum pump, used turbocharger waste gate....
The car still has such great character I can't part with it even though it uses a lot of oil and the heater core is shot. The dealer wants about $700... to put in a new one......
General comments?
A car only the driver could love....
I never have had a positive compliment on my choice.... Those people should spend a week behind the wheel of a 604... They would have to be pryed away.......
