    Hello,
    Here is a good place to ask, there are some 205 specialists down here, what
    type / year ?

    Hello,
    OK then.
    Important error ! The 205 is (and I may include latest models, 96-98) :
    - outdated ;
    - badly equiped (no useless gadget) ;
    Indeed, if you take a 96- model (Generation here), you've got as standard
    (some equipments may have been available earlier as standard for some export
    destinations) : power steering, velvet semi-sport seats, front electric
    windows, side indicators on front wings (that was, before, an
    export-specific feature), closing / locking glovebox and central locking
    (with IR remote). What would you need else ?

    but is...
    - reliable as hell. If only one car could run in the next 25 years, it
    would be a 205 ;
    - cheap to run ;
    - light (not more than 925kg) ;
    - damn fun, excellent handling ;
    - a running legend. But a legend that runs forever.

    Preferentially take a post-'88 model to benefit of galvanized steel, and
    even a post-90 for improved lights. For Diesels, post-90 will do fine,
    post-93 brings a better priming pump & filter housing (4 BTRs to swap it, 10
    mins easy job, try to compare with former models), and a low-pollution
    engine (XUD7/L and XUD7T/L for turbos).

    Feel free to post again if you have more questions. My guess is, once you
    drove a Pug you don't want any other brand.
