Bit of a bargain considering they are about £35k new, that had to hurt whomever owned it before :shock:

Give it five years and we'll be able to have two each! That's exactly what Citroen didn't want to happen - they had some idea about keeping it exclusive. It just hasn't set the world on fire - apparently they sold 150 or something in UK in the last year.
I wonder if we'll ever see the good ole BX out-pricing the C6?

I could buy one for £10,570 with only 270 miles on it if I really wanted one.
But it's still too much, I'll leave it until next year when they'll be paying me to have it.
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Sadly its the big citroen problem all over again same as the XM and the CX, noone wants them used unless they are stupidly cheap. Wait until they are 5 years old and then they will be sub £5k.
Lots of Motors, mostly semi broken....

A further problem with all modern cars is the inherent relative lack of DIY friendliness.

A CX and XM are at least easy enough to keep on the road with simple tools, a C6 will need all the computer crap to go with it, and unless you're very friendly with the local dealer or a really good indy keeping them going longterm will be a financial headache.
