[Peugeot-L] Re: Im looking at buying a 505 turbo. Any thing I should be looking out for?

The engine head is known to develop cracks. Look for capuccino-like foam under the oil filler cap, foamy motor oil, oily coolant, white smoke and hesitation on start-up. New radiator, boiling coolant in expansion jar - also signs the head might be bad.

The pre-1988 automatic trannies also had problems.

Good luck.
