DS5 as a daily...
Went and sat in the drivers seat of one yesterday and immediately thought this was a lovely place to be in. Was on a 62 plate with just a nudge over 30k on the clock and had almost every added extra (full leather, massaging seats, sat-nav etc.)- Priced £12,300 at a dealer.
Given this car would of being close to the £30K bracket when new, why are they generally so cheap now?
I love the DS 5 but the general public don't buy them, still the general automatic dismissal of it because it is French, high price new so it just depreciated like every other French car that is not a classic or rareWent and sat in the drivers seat of one yesterday and immediately thought this was a lovely place to be in.

Still not put off, mind
Anyone owned one to clarify what they're like to live with?

I'm pretty sure you're right about the general folk dissmissing it for the badge. Shame really, as spec aside they look like fantastic cars to shift about in.

I wouldn't say that was cheap though.
If you go on Autotrader and look at 4 year old cars which cost similar new they are cheaper still.

The car was pretty mint otherwise, it was very very fast (5.4 seconds timed to 60 on Sport), and was a very nice place to be.
Walked away in the end, being faced with a £5000+ bill for my Audi..turns out I was sold a lemon. So that rules out any possobility of a buy right now.
Otherwise, i'm not prepared to blow £13000 on a 4 yr old 3.5 Petrol Merc with no service history.

Earlier ones had a twin setup like the one pictured, later ones have the ovals I believe. Tailgater said:
Thanks! Might be seeing it later.. Hope it doesn't get sold knowing cargiant! Or will buyers get put off by the 3.5 V6 PETROL!
Probably. I have had both in the E350 estate and there is around 15% difference MPG wise.
On the school run of 6 miles the diesels is worse mpg wise.

Yeah!! I went yesterday, it had a different tyre on each side (1x Bridgestone, Potenza, ContiSportContact, and budget), no oil, no service history apart from a MB health check done at 7k miles, and kerbed wheels.
