Peugeot 205 GTI with S16 Engine?

[Carmo99]

Dear All. I have had a hankering for one of my boyhood dreams for a while. Does anyone know this car as it looks v clean but also high end for a 205 GTI (even with the mods)?

If it's local to you then i'd take a look, but it looks a bit overpriced.
I guess it comes down to condition, but from what I can see on the advert, i'd be checking every single thing listed. If there's receipts and photos of the respray/suspension etc then it may be worth anywhere between £2-3k but it's all in the detail.

too much money.

Expensive but well looked after.
S16 engine is heavier than the Mi16 although it is running the Mi16 inlet manifold which gives a little more torque.

Loadsamoney!

If I'm not mistaken the S16 is iron block therefore heavy. As already said that is all the money for a 205.
I bought one a couple of years ago with arguably a bigger spec (albeit a track biased car) for a lot less money.

Ouch!!! Thats hugely overpriced. Looks like a nice car but considering what else is out there i'd keep looking. I sold my J reg 205 turbo (230bhp, excellent condition, full engine rebuild, suspension, brakes, etc) for just over £3k a year ago.... and i thought that was alot of money!!

I'd look for a GTi6 engined beast, more power than the earlier s16

I got £3600 earlier this year for my old 205Mi16 - well that's what the insurance company gave me after the accident.

it is expensive, but its up to you if you would prefer to buy a banger and spend exactly the same getting it to that condition

[Carmo99]

Thanks for all the feedback. Much appreciated.

should get this instead.

just as much power but alot less expensive in an engine with less miles!
