1993 Peugeot 205 grd from UK and Ireland - Comments

One oil leak.

Believe it or not nothing has gone wrong with it.

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.

Interesting car, how can you afford to insure it?!

Fair question indeed... a 22yr old with one of these? I am 36 & I have a somewhat "modified" (275bhp at the wheels) 205 with th Mi16 engine (super chipping by the way... yields very little!) I use it as a track car & occaisonal weekend car & still the insurance made me think twice!

And I hate to disappoint him... it may have cost him a lot to modify, but it is not worth £8.5k. This he will discover one day if someone wants it enough and he has to claim on his (ahem) "insurance".

I can afford the insurance because I work for my dads haulage business.

All together including the cream leather interior which cost 2k the flip pain which costs 4k not to mention 3k of ice and 5k on the engine, I had mainly help to build this by my parents.

And my parents pay half of my insurance.

The car is worth around the 8 grand mark.

Thanks for your comments :)
