My last 205 ended badly see my thread link
My question is this ....
Am I being stupid not wanting to get a 90's 205?
My thinking is this... The 205 gti was an 80's icon , and although I wont be buying a gti I still feel that that 90's 205's are kind of not in the true 80's spirit if you get me? By the early/mid 90's peugeot were just trying to get shot of them, as they had moved on to the newer models.
There are a few good value, 90's diesel 205's out there that I can afford ( just ) but it somehow feels wrong to be buying one. Not to mention that the 90's ones seem to rust more than the 80's ones. They all have the standard laquer peel on the roof, but the later ones seem to rust at the top of the windscreen, and elsewhere.
Tell me I'm being stupid, that there is no difference between a 89 and a 96, or is there?
Would it be better to get a train to the north of Englandshire ( from north of Scotland ) to buy a 96 205 diesel, or get a lift through to Inverness(25 miles) to buy a 53 plate 206 gti?
They both have about ten months mot, and both have about the same mileage ( 115 ish K )
HELP!!!
Oh and they are the same price.
