505 V6 in Nigeria? Hmm! It's like searching for a Ferrari in Nigeria to buy. Lol!

Seriously, it will be difficult to find one. But I would suggest to start from Eastern states (Enugu, Anambra, etc). You will find a lot of imported 505 on their roads, especially in their state capitals.


Like I said earlier, 505 V6 have both auto and manual transmission. That is Peugeot tradition. Every of their cars have manual and auto transmissions, even till date.

SAVEDBABA: lol,bt wots d price range.

Ikenna351:

No idea. You have to find it first.

billy187: Spent the better part of my morning drooling through your thread! Amazing journey there! I must admit I've never been to Nigeria though; seems the roads there are awesome! Back here in Ghana, even the road linking the two principal cities (Accra and Kumasi) degenerates into an unpaved dusty hell at some points; a dusty hell I'll have to tackle this Monday in my '03 Ford Focus Wagon!

Beautiful pics too! Come to think of it, I've never really seen your 'baby' before. For me, there are only few things more desirable than a well kept old school car!- the recent models are kinda......a bit like light tea. Kinda looking into buying and restoring a 1989 Mercedes-Benz W126 SEC, when the Cedi stops fooling around.

Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

Ikenna351:

Thanks.

I will likely be in Enugu next week or so, and I plan to do the trip with the Baby. I love the aggressive way it drives, including that loud impressive noisy engine note it gives while on high speed.

Hmm! Life can be very sweet when you take charge of your life by making the right choices and decisions by yourself. 505 V6 was my first dream car. Believe me, it feels really good when a dream is achieved!

Ikenna351: Arrived Lokoja.

I arrived Lokoja at 8:40am, meaning i spent 2hrs 40 mins, from Abuja to Lokoja. The Tripmeter indicated that Abuja to Lokoja was 212 kilometers.

Ikenna.

Ikenna351: I entered one of the Fuel stations in Lokoja to refill the fuel tank. The fuel guage showed car consumed 30 litres from Abuja to Lokoja.

I refilled the tank and contnued my journey.

Ikenna.

DECOtech: If you spent almost 3hrs on a 212km road, at what speed were you driving?

Ikenna351:

I don't discuss speed I do online.

Also, speed you do on that Abuja- Lokoja road will not determine how fast you arrive Lokoja. At that time (2012), there so many check points, traffic jams & diversion due to road construction.

OmoAkerele: I can confirm what Ikenna351 is saying, even here in Europe, Peugeot 505 are becoming rare gem. It took me almost 3 years to find one I liked at a decent price, generally 505 prices in Europe are no longer profitable for exporters, as Ikenna351 said owners are holding on.

@Savedbaba: Finding a 505 with AC in Europe is also rare, the top spec 505 then in Europe did not come as standard with AC, it was an additional option, it’s mainly American Spec that came with Factory fitted AC as standard and a few in France.

OmoAkerele: @Ikenna: abi you be winch, I bought her late last year from a Peugeot dealer in Holland who had it in his showroom, he had a collection of classic Peugeot and wanted to get rid of some, that’s how I got luck. It only had 53,000 Km on the clock which for a 1988 vehicle is low. It’s automatic, sadly has no AC and the sound system is crap…but I love my 505, even my Okada plate number na 505

dumo1: Mr Ikenna I read your peugeot thread from page 1 to page 54 and the insight u gave other peugeot owners made me fall in love with a brand I knew nothing of. I am not a peugeot owner but I have learnt a lot. By the way that your Peugeot 505 V6 is sexy and she knows it. Is that the only peugeot you have or is the green peugeot also yours?

dumo1: Its really a father vs son conversation. Peugeot needs to make you one of their ambassadors. I was just fantasizing about the trip you plan to do with your green 406. I am sooo keeping my eyes on nairaland for that trip. Cheers! Mr Ikenna.

Ikenna351:

I have done the trip long ago with the SV D9. Doing another next week.

yungboss:
nice cars man,

Ikenna351:

Thanks. By the Grace of God, another powerful Lion, a cousin, will be joining them soon.

Do tell, Ikenna!

Any prizes for correct guesses? I'm guessing a Peugeot 407 3.0 V6 HDI 241hp.
