Re: [Peugeot-L] 405 Mi16 daily driver?

A very nice daily driver, good mileage, fun comfortable. IMHO. 100K is not bad.

Are you in cold weather, or warm? If you run the car in cold weather, you have to twist the plastic air intake duct backwards so it takes air from over the manifold during the winter. That helps. Make sure you know the condition of the timing belt. Don't drive it at all (after you own it) until it is changed. You can crash the valves if the timing belt goes. Replace rubber fuel lines. Cheap, easy, necessary. Other owners will tell you more about these great little cars.
