Here’s my second car, after 3 years of not having any. Though it’s actually the first one to have some sense and the first being bought with any use of my brain 
As the title says, a '99 406 Coupe, powered by the base engine (I think?), a petrol 2.0 making a bit odd 132 horsepower. I was looking for some interesting car that would still be within my reach when it comes to ownership costs, and this is right on point - a cool looking coupe, yet with pretty common and standard tech. It’s not in a perfect condition, but it’s good - it passed its MOT very recently, has a rather new valvetrain (few kkm), new exhaust and hardly any rust. It drives well and - quite unusually for a cheap 406 Coupe - has bumpers with no cracks.
So, what are the downsides?
- AC doesn’t work! that’s a big one, I don’t know what’s the cause
- LPG installation needs regulation and/or minor fixes - it works, and the engine works ok on LPG in general (definitely drivable), but it doesn’t always provide the correct air/fuel mixture
- driver’s window stops some 1,5-2 cm below the level it should - minor, but annoying
- oil gauge (temp, AFAIK) doesn’t work
- no radio
- and some tiny stuff: it needs two keys - one for the locks, the other for starting - I think the ignition was replaced, as the cabin light needs electricity to be turned on on the ignition to glow; I can lower both windows from the driver’s door switches, but I can raise only the driver’s one; rims are scratched here and there; both door limiters stop only on the first position.
The interior is covered in black leather - not my preferable choice, but ok, car’s coolness factor makes up for that 
At least it has heated seats, so I won’t freeze to the seat in winter. I was amazed by the amount of space in the rear - I can easily sit there, without being squeezed, behind the front seat set up for me - and I’m 187 cm (that’s 6 ft 1,5" for you 'Muricans). As for the rest of the equipment - the non-functioning AC is manual, there’s the cruise control and, I think standard, power mirrors. I don’t expect much in that regard, so as soon as the AC will be fixed and some radio with BT installed, I’ll be entirely content with that.
So, let’s go with the news!
Anyway, those are the visible things, but others were more important. Of course I’ve got the AC fixed - it had a leak (replaced… don’t remember what, some pipe I think), and thus was empty (filled), and the control panel had broken links that connect it to all that ventilation inner stuff (panel with links replaced). Left window needed a new mechanism, since the old one had a broken tooth or in its gear, I’ve found a good used one. Some connections in power windows controls needed a little cleaning to actually connect, and that helped, but not ultimately - some day the right window started lowering randomly on its own, so it’s button was temporarily disconnected - sorta dumb, I know, but I’ll get that fixed properly before it gets actually warm outside. During all that window tinkering the door limiters were also adjusted (as I couldn’t find new ones then IIRC) but it helped only the left one. LPG system indeed needed fixes, namely new injectors and… reconnecting some little pipe (vacuum I guess) and now it runs as it should. Also front brakes were replaced.
At least mom’s radio at home and grandma’s TV - both from this “new” Blaupunkt I guess - are perfectly fine, so I hope my radio will be too.
Well, I suppose you can still think of me as “the 406 coupe man” until I get sth else. But yeah, bicycle, Bolt/Uber, BlaBlaCar and public transport for now. On that note, my bicycle is around 20 years old too, and I’ll probably get a new one next year
