interesting car. HAs the 1.9 engine so some poke can be liberated, but interestingly its a 4x4 and very low miles too! 1990 Peugeot 405 GL 4x4. Only 35554 miles guaranteed with every MoT and massive history file from new. As near as you could possibly get to a factory fresh 405! The interior is absolutely 'as new' and the exterior has only the very tiniest of blemishes which you would be very hard pressed to spot. I've just had her fully serviced and she drives without fault. She has a 1.9 petrol engine and sticks to the road like glue, with the drive split 53% front, 47% rear. She also has a diff lock for use in snow & mud and is suprisingly agile in a muddy field! I've absolutely cherished her and maintained her without regard to cost but now's the time to thin out my collection of strange & unusual cars! Everything works perfectly, even the original Peugeot radio (with code). Any RAC/AA inspection welcome. Short tax to end of May and MoT until mid November.  |

Is the 4x4 system built out of fromage like the BX one?! Have a niggly feeling that it was different but you certainly don't see many of either now. Or Cav Mk3 4x4s for that matter.

I don't think they are the same as the BX one. I don't know why. I just seem to remember that they are different despite being shared platform cars.

Most confusing.
Should this be in the For Sale section?
I'm all for buying and selling cars to make a bit of money, but 'I've absolutely cherished her and maintained her without regard to cost but now's the time to thin out my collection of strange & unusual cars!' doesn't seem applicable for a car that was on ebay recently.
I'm not casting aspersions, or suggesting any wrong doing but what's the story?

Eithr this is the buyer of the car that was on ebay and hes lying about the "I've absolutely cherished her and maintained her without regard to cost" as hes owned it for about 2 weeks or its the seller whos had his mate bid it up and left him good feedback ;D ;D  |

All I know is the guy paid a fiver to have it advertised on the CPUK for sale forum. I slung the bigs up, didn't realise they were so big, I'll resize them.
I thought it was interesting for rarety value rather than the low milage but the ebay back story sounds right fishy. I'm guessing it sold for £300 but the buyer backed out?
Dunno

Ive no idea if they are the same but I have always been told the 4x4 transmission on 405's are made of chocolate, like the cavalier and like the similarly rare bmw ix models, these cars were rare for a reason I gues. |

I thought it seemed a little wierd! (and un-shortcut like).
You should have written 'This was advertised on the CPUK forum and I thought someone on here might be interested'. It seemed like is was your ad, which is why it didn't make sense - in fact I thought someone might have hacked your account!
I still think the for sale board might be a more relevant place...with a price maybe?

Yeah the eBay seller has left poz feedback so i reckon the sale went ahead OK.
I see he's asking £950..... thats a canny profit for a drive home and a £5 ad on CPUK but its still not what I would call a rip-off, the car looks well nice. For £300 he got one of the best buys i've seen on eBay for quite some time.
