Thanks Guys

[Pete Patterson]

Have had my 1966 405STI written off in a rush hour nose to tail. Cost of parts in this part of the world made it uneconomic to repair even though the car was still drivable. Thank to all in this Ng over the last four years.I have been very grateful for all the help and advice that has been so freely given, Especially G.T. It has been a very pleasant experience owning a Peugeot with about 70000 k driven in 4 years. Pity it came to such an abrupt end early one very wet morning.

I guess you mean 1996, here

in this part of the world made it uneconomic to repair even though the car was still drivable.

Why not trying to find another 405 for bits ? I guess it's a bit hard to find one in NZ as Pug may not be a very common brand, but worthes a try.

You're welcome. I just did what I had to do, even if I'm pretty limited by the fact I'm not a mechanic.

Some bad news, indeed. Hey, come back next time you'll buy a Pug

Hi Pete,

Oops typing error 1996 it was.

405's are a bit of a rarity here now. Insurance company estimated NZ$12 grand damage.More than what the car was worth.Insurance Company paid out on the basis of a writeoff and the car became theirs. With the insurance payout I bought a 1999 Nissan Primera 2.0 litre CVT Estate. A lot more practical than the Pug was especially with the summer tent camping we do.
