1987 Peugeot 505 Liberte wagon for sale
I checked out this 505 wagon today at an Alameda used car lot. It's seen better days. The rear hatch door and the rear passenger side door do not open. But for $1,695, it's a pretty good deal. It lived its life as a one-owner car in San Francisco. The used car dealer bought it at an auction via the previous owner's estate. It's the Liberte edition, which apparently commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. How random.

Hello:
Let not the hatch or the rear door bother deter the purchase…they are very simple fixes that involve hot soapy water, carburetor cleaner, light oil, or good quality lubricant spray. Both can be addressed in about a half days worth of work. But plan on wearing dirty clothes. A couple of screw drivers and a 10mm, and 27 or 30 torx socket on a ratchet with short extensions is all you need to fix the door
1. For the rear door, the panel can be removed from inside to unlock the door and get it open (but make sure it’s a warm day so the plastic clips that hold the door and hatch panel release without breaking ) . For the armrest first remove the two Large 4point Phillips head screws and 1 little Phillips head on the front that hold the armrest on. Then slip back the armrest and set –aside.
2.
3. You can fashion an old screw driver to release the clip for the window knob-handle(or by an inexpensive trim window roll down release tool) ..set it aside once removed..and put the clip back on so you don’t lose it…snap it back into place once the door panel is back on
4.
5. To remove the panel use a trim tool (they only cost a couple of dollars to release the plastic clips that hole the panel to the door or hatch) Once the panel is loose pull it clear of the front armrest plastic bracket that protrudes from the door, Then from the bottom give it a nice thud from your fist to release the black release cover that locks and locks the door . It will usually fall off..that’s normal after you give the thud release. Then just lift the panel from the window ledge (front and rear ) set the panel aside.
6. Plan on buying a roll of duct tape to replace the vinyl moisture cover that will be destroyed as you take it off. Liberally spray the lock mechanism with carb cleaner or a lubricant. Once the door is open. The quality and more time of cleaning will determine the preferred desired results of a window and release and lock mechanism that work trouble free for years. On Peugeots of the past including the current Liberte´ Wagon I own. I gutted the entire door including the window and regulator and window rail rubber seal. The blue and pink clips that attach to the lock mechanism should be heated with a blow drier so they can detach from the door lock without breaking…and they will break if you don’t make then malleable with heat.
7. Put the lock assembly in an old plastic peanut butter/ or mayonnaise container and fill 1/3 with gasoline and shake. Either immerse in a light oil before reassembly. The outside door release should be removed, washed, and pivot points over greased or sprayed with a quality lubricant. The window regulator can be cleaned by just soaking it in gas or spraying it with cleaner…just make sure it and the pivot bracket are over greased on reassembly and before the panel is put back on.
8. If you have any further questions email me before something gets broken that does not need to.
9. The biggest issue with any car equipped with a ZF 4HP or ZF 6HP and now ZF8 HP overdrive is the condition of the transmission fluid and are you willing to follow insane driving instructions so you don’t end up burning the transmission up. I went so far as to remove the torque converter and weld a drain plug to mine. Whether it’s a BMW, Jag, Kia, Land Rover, Peugeot, etc--- any car equipped with that ZF is a temperamental tranny. And if you have any further questions feel free to email…mcnamarakenneth@gmail.com
are you interesting to sell it?
I've been looking for a wagon for my weekend cycling car. Thank you

@MR 86er: It's not mine. It was for sale at a used car lot in Alameda in the Bay Area.
