Fuel pump at 120,000 miles due to noise, not failure. Otherwise, just maint. type items, (tires, brakes, fluid changes).
Very quick and practical vehicle, reliable. Only draw back is Turbo version rides a little harsher than other models. Wish they still sold them in the US, would buy another if I could!
You must read the whole test report in Motor Trend, those guys were caught off guard, they ran out of words in praise of the 505s handling,comfort and class. Greatest cars ever.
Motor Trends comments are a perfect tribute to this magnificent car, as I've qouted elsewhere they wrote`We were caught by surprise, we run the risk of running out of our list of hyperboles in praise of its fine handling, comfort and grace`
Car&Driver once said these cars are respected right next to the harvest god in Africa where `roads` are the natural enemies of cars.
The peugeot 505 was built at a time when there were true genuises what with its excellent range of petrol and diesel engines rear wheel drive and classic design like someone writing about the 123 series mercedes of around the same era said and the same applies to peugeot to THEY WERE BUILT TO LAST AND UNLIKE NOW, THEY COMPANY WERE RUN BY ENGINEERS AND NOT SLEASY ACCOUNTANTS.
