Dilema... 86 Peugeot 505 Turbo or 95 Mustang Cobra - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Heres the story:

First off this isn't a i'm selling my car thread, the stealth will always stay.

My two choices are as follows:

Keep my 1986 Peugeot 505 Turbo of which needs a head gasket, possible new head or valves or something engine wise and will need alot of other work to get it to run comfortably.

Pro's:
super super rare
turbocharged
unique styling
already put like $350 into it

Con's:
Needs alot more work
autotragic

Or buy a 1995 Mustang Cobra for $3,000 off a friend of mine (he's got money and wants to hook me up)

Pro's:
60,000 miles
garage kept
never wrecked
5 speed
synthetic oil every 1500 miles
new clutch

Con's:
8 cylinder gas guzzler.

Either way, the pug will probably require about 3000 to get going or I could try to sell it for about $500.

you take the peugeot and ill get the mustang off him. LOL that is kind of a no brainer. Look at the two cars... You gotta be a fool to not get the mustang. I dislike them with a pashon cause of the 95 convertable that i had and i would still take the mustang in your situation.

Peugeot 505......

Never liked any Ford's...

I'd say hands down the mustang, it's just a lot more car than what the peugeot is.

1320VR4 · 08-21-2008, 08:20 PM

I'm still going to make an effort for the peugeot either way since insurance is a flat $500 a year but I cant park that many cars in my yard!

Ondontii · 08-21-2008, 08:22 PM

put some tires on the stang that dont look retarded cause they are pulled back from the lip.

1991StealthR/T · 08-21-2008, 08:23 PM

You can park the Peugeot in my drive

.

1320VR4 · 08-21-2008, 08:24 PM

lol, well the peugeot might actualy be a $50 fix.

My friend can have the heads, erm head (sorry habbit) rebuilt at lincoln tech for me for free (and port and polsihed) and if the thing isnt cracked it may run like a charm
