Citroen C6

[anonymous-user]

Whilst I was looking for a car for my Dad a local dealer had a C6 listed the 2.7 Diesel. With one owner in the Executive Spec. Brave Pill or go for it?

If it’s well maintained and in good condition then I would say it could be a depreciation proof shrewd purchase.

They will become a very sought after classic.

Here is one (the wife) took a picture of on the approach to St. Malo in August.

Brave Pill IMO

The 2.7 V6 diesel is the unit famed for snapping its crank in Land Rovers, the suspension has a mind of its own, and it's generally rare, quirky and hard to find good knowledgeable garages to look after.

IMO the C6 is a car you buy because you really want something a bit special and are willing to put up with some issues to have it. I'm sure it's lovely when it's working and a good cheap interesting buy for enthusiasts, but it isn't a car I'd recommend to a non car enthusiast friend or family member, if you see what I mean.

Yeah, brave pill. You've missed the boat, they're old now with lots to go wrong!

Certainly a marmite car, discussed them numerous time before with a friend who thinks they look great, whilst I find them very ugly, but as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Weird parts that need coding, £695 tax, slow, Euro 5 diesel. What's not to like?!?

Would a 2.2 be a better bet than the 2.7 as I’ve heard the latter has a number of issues.

The petrol version will rise in price and classic status is guaranteed.
Suspension is reliable .
Gorgeous car, a diva on the road.

It’s hard finding a petrol. Not many were sold. I’ve found this one:

It’s a gamble whether it would be a money pit or whether you would ever get any money spent on it back.

I know. I enquired about it over the weekend with a view to look at it yesterday, but it’s had a deposit taken. If I’d of know about a deposit on a £3500 car I would have done the same. I alway ls think that dealers only offer a deposit on cars that are several grand.
