Great idea. I’ll go first, you get sloppy seconds. 

I love how many people understood, and reacted, to that. 😁

C6 petrol - are C6 prices on the up?

If you can't sell them for £1000, you might as well try to sell them for £15000.  The oldest trick.in the book for undesirable stock. Make it look desirable by putting up the price.

If I remember correctly there were only something like 30 of the petrol V6s in the UK so they're bound to attract a premium (though maybe not that much). You can still pick up the 2.7 V6 diesels for relative pennies.

Petrol V6 C6s are expensive everywhere, even high mileage examples are close to 5 figures. It's the last big Citroen in it's least flaky variant (which they didn't sell many of), hence the prices.

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.

It's the 3.0 diesel.  Ultra rare and the most desirable c6, or least undesirable. Price is mad but find another....

That's my local old Renault specialist. If you buy it you'll probably have to listen to a load of bullshit about the 'covid conspiracy' etc, which is the main reason my 16 is off the road. I just don't have the patience for his bollocks at the moment. R8 looks nice though, beyond the crispy bits. Sod MoT though so it's good to go innit

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.

Possibly the only interesting design, anyway. They're grand to look at, much more than any of the other big cars of that period. 

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.

Got any photos of your R16? There's a green R16 Automatic which needs saving near me.
