Nothing unnormal, except ill-fated ZF automatic transmission. Dead after 84.000 km, again after 130.000 km. Expensive rebuilt. Problem known to specialists.
Prices for spare parts are very high in Germany, so driving and caring for this car is expensive. Wouldn't buy auto transmission again. Great and rewarding car to drive, although driving comfort is not as high as many people expect.
I have a 505 and find it a good car to drive. Prices are expensive for parts but like all cars regular servicing keeps the cost of repair down.
This car is a very good family car and caters for us well. It has plenty of space, and many things that would come as extras on other cars. Electric sunroof, mirrors, central locking and heated seats... not bad for a G reg.
Iam now looking for a seven seater.
We have an SLi series II.
So far this car is the best car I have owned in terms of drivability and safety. It feels agile, yet solid.
We have replaced two fuel pumps in two years, probably due to local fuel problems and the illegal addition of Toulene.
Fairly expensive to won, so I would certainly buy Peugeot again, but not so old. Bought at 140,000 KM, now 220,000 KM.
The "ill fated" ZF 4spd transmissions get burnt out because of internal fault that cases them to never fully be in neutral, even when in "N" or "P". This is not too much of a problem, unless one races the engine to try to cool it, or check the AC. Eventually, the clutches get fried.
However, under normal operation and with regular service, these are good units that should go at least 300000km+.
The 3spd ZF is free from this fault though, but should be well serviced as well. Just remember that heat kills all auto boxes!
