my mums bx with 25000 miles
hello all!
hope someone can please help, my mum has a citroen bx tgs with 25000 miles on the clock, full service history one owner. she can only drive an automatic,so rather than let her round off the corners i thought i would try and get a valuation!with the hope that it might be worth enough to buy her a automatic!
all the best

Ahh my mistake, I dont think you will have any problems selling that as the manula is more popular, with the history and low mileage I would be asking good money for it, it must be the lowest mileage BX left??goldenbrown wrote:Thanks,the bx is Manuel,think we are going to look at buying her an automatic fiesta.any idea how much we could get for the bx.Roverman wrote:What a beauty, lovely miles too, the petrol autos arent THAT popular but thats something special,
I would also try car and classic which is a free website.
I would still try car and classic, purely as most guys on here have at least one (some have 5+) BXs already.
If you have no objection I will also host it on the citroen car club website too.

Value is tricky, but I'll stick my neck out and say £700-950 seeing a good BX up for sale is getting rarer by the day it seems. Lovely looking car.
Thing is, a lot of the value is in the low mileage, and if someone buys it and piles up the miles it will affect value meaning it'll depreciate. Something us BX owners don't often need to worry about.

If it were a 16v or TZD turbo at that miles you would have people lining up to buy it and £1500+ would be an easy price to obtain, the "cooking models" do fetch quite a bit less but I think phil is on the money as the miles really do make your mums car unique.Philip Chidlow wrote:Value is tricky, but I'll stick my neck out and say £700-950 seeing a good BX up for sale is getting rarer by the day it seems.

My own 16 had 16000 miles on when it was sold buy its original owner in 2004 (at 15 years old), its now on 43000 which is still very low but doesnt have the "wow" factor.

Highly unlikely to have air con, but will be surprisingly well-equipped for an 'old'car. Ventilation in the BX is good, and the sunroof is huge compared with some newer cars. Why not try it, see if you like it, (and the BX is a car you don't see very often now, so a good one will attract glances!).
