Siena:

It's out of fashion, so why punish yourself by buying one, regardless of the cost?

Please can you give an assessment of the car

Peugeot 504?

It's a tough, hard-wearing car, very much at home in African countries. In some African countries, it's used as a bush taxi, due to it's virtually indestructible nature. The much more modern Peugeot 505 was meant to be the 504's replacement, but was less durable. The 504 ended up out-living it, with the previously announced production being extended for many more years. It was produced in Kaduna up till 2005, whereas the 505 only made it till 1995.

Chinese production of the Peugeot 504 continued up till 2009.

Parts are extremely cheap, and easy to come by. The Peugeot 504 is simplicity in itself, and easy to work on, even by a novice. Minimal electrics, no ECU or fuel injection (at least not in Nigeria). Nigerian models were available in the following trim levels:

L
GL
GR
GLS
SR
Bestline

The 504 GL was the most luxurious model. The GL designation didn't just stop at the engine and interior trim. The GL had independent rear suspension, compared to all other models which had live rear axles. The IRS on the GL meant the body shell was remarkably different to L, GR, SR and GLS models. The rear suspension components were not interchangeable between the GL and other models.

The GL also benefited from having disc brakes at the rear, all other models made do with drums. GL models were twin-carburettor fed, and the engines were all 2,0. Other models were 1,8 with single carburettor. The GLS did have the GL's 2,0 engine, but shared the bodyshell with lesser models. All 504 models were 4-speed manual, excluding the 504 pic-up truck, which was fitted with the 5-speed manual from the 505.

The GL Station Wagon however, did not benefit from independent rear suspension, like the saloon models. All wagons had live rear axles like the L, SR and GLS saloons, but with beefier springs to cope with higher loads.

Old Faithful! which car do you think can be compared in contemporary times to have the same durability and ruggedness on Nigerian roads like the 504.Me thinks probably the Toyota Camry, especially the 98,99 editions. That car sure has some Peugeot in its blood.
