Good day,

I am currently in need of a car and Peugeot comes into my mind. Previously drove a 206 and met accident. Didn't own a car since then, 4 years ago.

Due to tight commitments, i am currently aiming for a Peugeot 406 and 405. Seeing that the chance to get a pristine condition 406, i am setting a 405 as an alternative.

My question is;

a. How are the spare parts availability? I read that some parts are not easy to find, original / second hand / OEM.

b. any common problems should i look out for?


Looking forward for a prompt reply regarding this matter to support my confidence in settling down on a 405.

iinm 405 is a very very old model.. so does the 406.. i drove 406 b4 when i first got my license.. then the gearbox kaput.. engine no power.. then sold it off..

parts are expensive i have one at home. its rubbish.

I am aware parts are expensive and my question are not due to pricing.

does it really have to be peugeot? just wondering

If you have other options, would love to read it too

buy back 206 la, should be good price. and pretty new

if money ain't problem why don't u juz but new Peugeot?

the one at home, got money also cannot find parts already. mechanic say if break down again write it off not worth fixing.

unless you want to collect the car, if you want to use it I don't think its a wise choice.

The 405, if u can get a manual, maybe ok for everyday usage, it's worth about RM4-5k or lower now.

The 406 earlier version, high fuel consumption + power so-so. Last batch like same engine with 407, very good FC.

I just sold my 405 SRi (M) last april for RM9k. Owned the car for 3 years. PM me your questions. My advice, some of the parts, even if you have money to buy, is no longer available. Very nice car though

Where do the current Peugeot 405 owners get their spare parts? I still see a few on the roads

You can get it from chop shop near batu cave, normally i go to ripon in batu cave.. near giant and behind petronas. The problem now a day is the spare part become rare and expensive, last time try to get radiator and only one radiator left there.

woah...not worth to own 405 in that case unless we are collectors and have $$ to import parts from overseas

PEUGEOT 405 GTX (M) '91 FOR SALE
AS IS WHERE IS BASIS
IDEAL FOR RESTORATION
PRICE : RM2000
LOCATION : BDR SRI D'SARA
CALL : CHRIS (0123853262/dellorto19@gmail.com)

Maintenance cost for 406 is higher than 405, even though the later is an older car. I owned both before.

i know this place

change mechanic better.

lucky it is not called ripoff.

not mechanic issue, a lot of parts now either OEM Taiwan if you're lucky or second hand from chop shop.

I just inherited one of this car, need a lot of part to repairs. Power window, windshield, door trim etc. You guys can recommend a good kedai potong that can get a good price? Or a good mechanics that can handle continental car at Seri Kembangan area?

check out peugeot club malaysia. they have many 405 veterans there. parts are available but you need to know where to find. regular spare parts shops will all give you the same answer as they only stock up on japanese car parts. you can find the club from the link below:

the 405 was one of the best handling cars of its time and many prefer it to the 406 due to its simplicity.

tyvm.

anyone still using this car? wanna share some experience with me?

why? u want to buy 1?
I also think to buy one of this.
any advice?

I all ready bought one. My advice for you is only buy it when you're really into it, it take a lot of commitment. xD

I've owned 1 brand new since 1991 . Great wheels indeed . I call it King of Malaysian highways as I tend 2 leave a trail of fire in my route ... PEUGEOT 405 AUTOMOBILES 4EVER !!!

I've got a few 405 items 2 dispose that might interest u . Pls refer 2 my post .

Kool, do you still own it?

Yes , I do .

Nice. where do you stay?

Penang .

Do u still hv the 405 ???

Do u still hv the 405 ???

Yes its still there. Air con damn cold.

which is better: peugeot 405 vs citroen zx?

Is it in running condition ??? Is it for sale ???

I own both of it . They put-up a good & wild show on Malaysiana roads . Both run on the same engine . Your term "better" highly depends on individual preferences as the former is a sedan , whereas the latter is a hatchback . Its current value for money is about RM5K max !!! ... Napolean Bonaparte on the go .
Do you intend to get one of these ???

Not buying, just it seem ZX more popular and i like its shape.
