When the 405 debuted on these shores in 1989, French automaker Peugeot perhaps believed it was the car to reverse its fortunes in the American market. Despite initially offering three distinct versions of the front-drive sedan here (and later adding a 405 station wagon to the mix), the model failed to gain traction, and in August of 1991 Peugeot announced its withdrawal from the U.S. market. The 405, then, was its American swan song, and among those with a passion for driving, the 405 Mi16 was the most desirable model – in fact, Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car even named it one of “16 to buy in 2012” in its March 2012 issue. This 1989 Peugeot 405 Mi16, for sale on Hemmings.com, is described by the owner as unrestored and “in excellent condition from tip to tail.” It would likely benefit from a repaint, but otherwise appears to be in remarkably well-preserved condition, making it perfect for the Francophile seeking a now unusual weekend driver.
