These are proper bargains and that one looks very well looked after.

Why did the Legacy get moved on ?

Why did the Legacy get moved on ?
The spring versions are really cheap now. The exclusive are at a premium for obvious reasons but this one was undervalued by a good £1500/2000 imho, given spec and milage.

I moved the legacy on for a couple of reasons. The main one being it just wasn't me. Bit too in your face, little bit dated inside and missing some things I really wanted, but didn't know at the time. It was also costing quite a bit in fuel as I drive it like a dick. Not ideal on an empty motorway at 6am. Would have only been a matter of time till I was caught. I met a bloke who I got the wheels from and he was interested, which made the sale very simple.

This is much more me. I'll just get my pipe and slippers.

Fantastic looking car OP. You dont see many around, but makes a nice change from the sea of german cars.

Fantastic. I've liked these since they were new. They're on my shortlist for my next car, whenever that will be

That does look really nice. Never considered these before, so I'll be interested to see how you get on.

If it has an Aux in, just get a £5 Bluetooth USB dongle from eBay

I had the same problem in my Giulietta, now I can stream anything from the phone/iPad/etc

Great looking car!
Useful tip. I pick up my 60 plate Giulietta next week. thumbup

Very nice! It looks well maintained and the spec is appealing.

Looks very handsome as a tourer, and there's something about a really top-spec car. I like this a lot.

Fantastic cars, I have an 08 silver estate with the same spec. The panoramic roof is just amazing. The engine has been remapped to about 170hp, and it goes pretty well, though its more of a wafter than a sportster.They are incredibly comfortable over long journeys.

Very nearly went for a jewish racing gold 2.2hdi version of one of these for £3K a year or so ago, decided against due to wanting to go into more inaccessible areas so went VAG for parts availability. Wish I had gone for it as they do look amazing and I do fancy that bit of waft. Please keep us updated as it may well end up on my list for the next car, if I can't convince the missus that we need an old petrol monstrosity.

I’m rather adverse to French cars but I do love a good looking estate and there’s something about these that just looks right.

The kit list is impressive too.

My main issue is I have a short commute so it’s petrol over diesel for me and I’d always been under the impression it’s only worth buying French estates in diesel form. Am I wrong?

I honestly never knew Citroen had made such a decent estate so recently. Looks lovely - great find OP.

Looks a nice example. Have you had it long?
