Nibbler Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Sometimes you need to move fast! As the Japanees record collector Neal Tanaka once said. -I see, i want, i buy! Well, my guess is a silver Citroen CX Diesel. brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 Ok, so the tale of the purchase. A very good friend can only drive an auto, and has been looking for a more economical vehicle due to a bit of a change in circumstances. We saw this on marketplace late last night and thought a) this ticks the box for our friend and she has agreed to buy it from us. b) it has a numberplate with the initials of a family member and this would make a good birthday present for them…. (Shhh it’s a secret). Messages exchanged this morning, and a run to Croxteth was arranged to view said vehicle and on viewing it seems good… Genuine low miler, clean and drives lovely, got superb MPGeees on the way home, few bodily marks and the glove box lid is missing, but other than that, absolutely spot on. So… now to hide it from said family member until the V5 is through, swap the plate for its existing one, then swap it with their existing car… and then sell that. One in… and then out… soon. eddyramrod, Six-cylinder, GeordieInExile and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind I still love any 1st gen C4, they are super quirky Citroens from the central backlit digital dash and fixed hub steering wheel to the rounded silhouette of the exterior. Fun Fact the roof of the 4 door and Coupe (two door) is the same even though they look quite different. brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the interior/dash… FakeConcern and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think robotised manual… it has flappy paddles… Also…. The mats, they were the real clincher… RoverFolkUs, Shep Shepherd, Coprolalia and 6 others 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWeldedShut Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Sprog has the later version C4 base model - it's a rather pleasant, simple car and drives nicely. However it has managed to lose any sort of unique look and blends into the masses whereas - this generation C4 is much better looking. Good buy brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
