1992 Peugeot 505

This exceedingly well-presented and preserved survivor is a rare, late-production Peugeot 505 SW8 Station Wagon from Model Year 1992 with a Seller-stated 86,170 original miles at the tile of listing.

Finished in original-appearing White paint, this Peugeot 505 is a particularly handsome and appealing example of these highly respected and rarely seen European driving machines. According to the Seller and as seen in the many photographs of the vehicle, it is a desirably solid, rust-free, and unmodified example. The paint finish remains highly attractive, and the body appears to be devoid of imperfections. The Peugeot’s exceptional quality and integrity extend to the door jambs and sills, which are clean, solid, and rust-free, consistent with proper long-term care and usage. Trim, mouldings, and identification plaques are all in place. Aerodynamic full Argent-finish wheel covers remain in nice condition and feature the iconic Peugeot Griffon mascot. Rooftop rails provide additional utility as required.

Featuring a characteristically rational and ergonomic, European-style interior layout, the Peugeot includes broad and supportive individual seats up front, a folding 60/40 split second-row bench, and the enhanced utility of a multipurpose 3rd-row fold-down rear bench seat/cargo shelf. Comfortably trimmed in Gray Velour seating surfaces that remain clean and undamaged in their original appearance, the Peugeot’s luxurious, yet purposeful interior compartment is accented by Charcoal Gray vinyl trim and interior panels. According to the original window sticker, this SW8 Station Wagon delivers an amazing 81.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the 3rd row bench seat folded down.

A well-equipped center stack with easily accessible buttons houses the heat/defrost/air conditioning controls, Peugeot-scripted, OEM AM/FM Cassette stereo head unit, and the unused OEM cigarette lighter and ashtray. The OEM steering wheel and dash are in similarly very fine order, being clean, complete, and unmodified throughout, as is the substantial console-mounted shifter controlling the Peugeot’s 4-speed automatic transmission. A large-diameter, easy-to-read 120 mph speedometer and tachometer are directly in the driver’s line of sight.

Other thoughtful amenities of this premium-level European wagon include power brakes and steering, power windows, remote power-adjustable side mirrors, heated seats, map and dome lights, passenger grab handles, a coin holder, and a rear-window defogger and rear wiper/washer. Carpeting is OEM Black loop-pile, in clean and complete, undamaged condition front to rear.

As illustrated in the detailed photographs supplied with this auction listing, the Peugeot’s outstandingly preserved original condition is mirrored by the clean, undamaged, and unmodified underbody, chassis, and suspension, all presented in maintained, higher-end driver quality with all OEM components fully present. The OHC 2.2L 4-cylinder engine, factory-rated at a robust 115 horsepower at 5,750 rpm, features the renowned Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system. The engine and surrounding engine compartment are presented in very clean, correctly maintained, and complete OEM condition.

According to the Seller, this 1992 Peugeot 505 SW8 was an Alabama-based example before most recently being acquired and offered from New Jersey.

The factory-issued books and manuals, plus warranty and delivery documents and radio-code cards accompany the sale of the vehicle, all housed within their respective document folio and pouch. The original window sticker is also included, listing the many standard and optional features of this remarkably original and attractive European touring wagon. An extra set of keys, plus a properly mounted spare wheel/tire underneath the vehicle and a roadside jack and wheel tools remain properly stowed within the side panels of the rear cargo compartment.

Some 25 years after production ceased, the long-running Peugeot 505 continues to stand as a remarkable automotive success with a wide global following. Efficient and elegant, the 505 exemplifies a uniquely European design philosophy with renowned ride and handling characteristics. The SW8 Station Wagon took the concept to great heights with unparalleled usability and a sophisticated, touring-themed presence. Offered from the last sales year in North America, this late-production Export model remains appealing and attractive throughout and appears ready for continued enjoyment and appreciation by a knowledgeable new owner. Estimated $7,500 to $12,000.
