Description
**mon prix est seulement négociable en personne - aucun offre ne sera considérée sans que l’acheteur ait vu l'auto** PAS D’ÉCHANGE I also speak English Peugeot 405 MI-16 très rare à vendre - il y a seulement quelques 405 qui roulent encore au Québec. Les +: - très peu de rouille - plaquée/assurée (pas besoin d’une inspection SAAQ) - phares Euro (m'ont coûté $$) - même proprio depuis 8 ans, le propriétaire d’avant l’avait eu pendant 11 ans - Silencieux, batterie, étrier arrière-droit récents...
Our Take:
- Rarity and Cult Status: The Peugeot 405 MI-16 is a bit of a unicorn in North America. It’s a rare sight on the roads today, especially outside of Europe; enthusiasts will know it's like spotting a hidden gem. The MI-16 variant, known for its performance pedigree, takes it a notch above the standard 405.
- Engine and Performance: Under the hood, the 405 MI-16 boasts a 1.9-liter engine that, in its heyday, was at the forefront of combining efficiency and fun. Known for its spirited drive and handling (thanks to a setup partly inspired by Peugeot's rally success), it brings a certain joie de vivre to winding roads.
- Ownership and Maintenance Legacy: This particular car has a solid ownership history with long-term owners who clearly cared for it—having been with just two owners over nearly two decades suggests a level of devotion. Regular upkeep like new silencers and battery indicate it's been well looked after, even if there are a few maintenance items pending.
- Cultural and Historical Context: The Peugeot 405 was once crowned the European Car of the Year in 1988, and it brings a slice of that era’s automotive charm to today's roads. In Quebec, where French culture resonates, having a classic Peugeot is like having a taste of la belle France, making it both a nostalgic and cultural experience.
