1990 Renault 25 TX 2.2 petrol injection

Summary:

The brightest jewel in the crown of Renault

Faults:

The thermostat was broken -Replaced it for $10.

The fourth-level of the air-blower motor did not run (I repaired it - the switch was dirty).

The upper plastic door panels on the inside were partially peeled off (probably from the sun).

Otherwise - nothing serious.

General Comments:

I bought the car from a Bulgarian for $3000, who acquired it from a German diplomat.

I was so pleased with the deal that for additional $1000 I installed an air-conditioner (from a smashed car), and liquid gas fuel system.

The interior is typically French - with lots of space, luxury and a huge trunk.

Still - the version with rear drum brakes is a little bit weak on braking (I regret I could not find a car in this condition with rear disc brakes and anti-locking brake system).

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
