[Peugeot-L] 505TD Wagon for sale

Hi Brian
Sounds perfect. I hope you are not in a hurry to do something with the 505. We are in the process of dismantling our shop, a fairly depressing affair for me. I love setting up workshops, but damn, taking them apart is no fun. So, yes I am interested. Of course money is an important issue for me , but maybe my new plan of going mobile PC service will work and the money will flow like never before, ha. Anyway, one thing I don't know about Peugeots is how they handle in the Winter. Here in New Mexico we missed Winter last season as we had little or no snow. Normally though we get a few inches of powder which melts off the next day. Every now and then we get a good blizzard but nothing like the wet snow back east. We live at the top of a mellow valley just inside the treeline. Our gravel driveway is about 1500 feet uphill. We have lived here for thirty years and we keep a four wheel drive ready for that snow storm. The New Mexico Highway Dept does not use salt, just sand. So it may take me all Summer to generate enough cash to buy whatever vehicle I decide upon. I hope we can do something. Oh and what part of the country is the car in now?
