Citroen C5 buying advice

[BigTallG87]

Morning all

As the title suggests I'm thinking about diving into French car ownership. I'm looking at getting a 2009 2.0 HDi Exclusive C5 Tourer.

Any advice about what to look for when viewing one and the potential pitfalls of ownership?

This will be my first French car after owning quite a few other marque's.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Well yeah I used to think that too beings as I used to be a mechanic but there's a niggle in my brain that's telling me to take a chance on it and experience one at least once. Am I mad?

Although the other half of my brain is telling me that I don't want to become financially ruined also. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Cheers
