The oldest trick.in the book for undesirable stock. Make it look desirable by putting up the price. I've never heard of a £1000 C6, except parts cars. They have a pretty decent following and lots of people want one. I've been waiting for prices to drop into shite territory, but I don't think it's ever gonna happen sadly. The other issue is that whether you spend £200 or £10,000 on one it has a pretty equal chance of catastrophic failure at any moment. Still the most (only) desirable car of the last 20-odd years.

The stories I've been reading about what can and does go wrong has put me off ever owning a C6, never mind the unfavourable VED and notorious PSA parts supply* (Peugeot first; everyone else takes pot luck), and this is coming from someone who runs a CX.

vaughant Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 9 hours ago, New POD said: Just because they are rare doesn't make them desirable. I honestly believe there is no market for them at any price, so you might as well price them high to pay fir the storage cost when a buyer eventually turns up. I tend to agree, you'd have to REALLY want one of those and the attached sleepless nights for when a relatively simple part starts failing and you get told it's citroen only and a 7 week lead time. And nobody is paying fucking £16k for one. It's like the bloke on ebay who sells (used to sell probably) 55plate passat estates for £8995 stating how they're the "last great volkswagen" and this highline spec model "has every factory conceivable extra" which means heated seats and rear wash wipe. I mean genuinely, who actually buys a car like that without spending ten minutes on the internet checking out the prices of other examples to realise its worth £2k at the most? And why the fuck can't I ever find someone like that to sell to, I always seem to get the ex whatever make i'm selling mechanic who goes straight to all the common fail points that I hadn't noticed and I end up paying him to take it away. outlaw118, yohan and Sigmund Fraud 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The icing on the cake is the two Halfords 'Zetec' stickers lovingly applied at random points on the dashboard. Although maybe I'm being harsh - perhaps they're an aide-memoire in case somebody asks what engine it's running. I'm guessing the sort of person who built that needs fairly frequent reminders about basic functions like 'wipe arse after having shit', 'turn oven on before putting food in', that sort of thing. Although, again, judging by the car it seems unlikely they can read or write. louiepj, morrisoxide, Austat and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
