if only i had a spare 4k, that would be mine for sure, maybe in another few years eh

I dunno, sure it's super-clean but the camera can hide things. I've been to see a few 'minters' .............

To be fair it does look a good'un and one of the last 04's too just-under £4K is probably a decent enough price but at nearly 7 years old soon you can bet it'll only be worth £2K in the blink of an eye.

[Doggy]

I'd say 4k was steep and as welly says, the price will drop like a stone in no time.

Bear in mind some poor sod probably got about £2 - £2.5k trading it in.

In 2006 I paid £3,395.00 for my nearly-7 year old exec with 96K miles and, sure enough, it dropped quicker that Puggy's underpants at a swingers convention

What is it with £3k cars? they're worth £3K one minute and nothing the next I suppose we think £3K is ok and not a huge risk but we're buying a car that's approaching the end of its useful life?

[Doggy]

Depends on your expectations - 2 years ago, I paid £3,250 for my then 6 yr old exec with 103,000 miles, planning to run it into the ground in 4-5 years, 90-110,000 miles. I think that's a viable combination of a good drive & value for money.

I did a Highest Price First search on there & saw an 03 Rapier with 75k & 53 S with 130k at the same price that make an immaculate 55k o4 plate look like good value.

Plus a local trader had a 53 plate SE petrol for £3995 sat on his forecourt for a couple of months. Think it's sold now though.

Actually, the main thing that persuaded me to get a 406 at the time was that you could get a 2-3 year newer car when comparing to a VW/Audi or other stuff at the time.

if i had the cash i would go and look at it and probably buy it if it is what it says it is, but with having a wedding next year my trusty old 1998 1.9td will have to do , plus dont really wanna get rid of this car its brilliant, but i will upgrade in few years, defo staying with a pug 406 ,

Nice car and colour , 4yrs ago i bought my 110 GLX with 95k that was just 6 yrs old for
£2200 , if i was going to part with that kind of money i would want a 110 with leathers
etc ie exec

[sirwiggum]

For that money I would want an HDi coupe in red, cream leather (if an option?), all the options, autobox and <40k miles.

I paid £2500 for my 88k exec and although its got a few new parts like new brakes, exhaust and indicator stalks i doubt i could even get £2000 for it now, its a 2002 hdi 110 with 98k on the clock. But i dont really care its here to stay, and i love the way french cars plummet in vaule like this, my car would have been at least £20k when new, im keeping my eye on the c6 values are falling nicely you can get an 08 with less than 20k miles for £14k, its going to be the next car.

They were £14k a couple of years ago with slightly higher mileage, but when they are near XM money I am tempted myself

[FarmerPug]

You cant help but look at one driving by thats why i like the c6 its a masterpiece on wheels

[TooT]

These C6's near me have been on there forecourt for at least 6 months if not more. I'm keeping an eye on the price but it aint moving yet

i know the local citroen dealer beside me has a pair of c6s for the past 2 years i think there in storage but why arent they selling even at these prices, and when i was in paris on holidays theres tonnes of them about, good for once to see them more than a 5 series.
