Is the 6 speed a typo from the 6 owners? Which does seem like a lot for a 8 year old car. Although it does say 6 speed twice, sooo if it's true, why have none of us heard of it before?

perhaps the engine blew and he got one out of a 407 and used the gearbox also.
then some details can be wrong anyhow, sometimes you see adverts for the basic models as being "TOP OF THE RANGE"

Dunno I've always liked the sound of a 6-er in a 406-er so if that guy's the pioneer I reckon we should all just chip in, buy it and utilize his knowledge to make our own cars better!

That is going to have a lot of late bids on it - page counter was on 608 when I looked this morning. May even have a bid myself to see if it goes cheap, but I'm reckoning on £600 at least as these are like rocking horse poo now. Definite potential classic.

This may not be to everybody's taste & is a fair few quid, but I happen to think it's a bargain for the age & mileage:

the 407 coupe looks good from some angles and really awkward from others, though it does have a great big screen on the dash :cheesy:
will peugeot bring out a 508 coupe?

that 605 ended at £355, thats just about scrap money, although i bet getting parts would be a nuisance for a car like it.

here is another rare one, haven't seen one of these on ebay for about 2 years:

£3,650.00 :shock:

ibought one years ago, for something like £25
Ragged it up some country lanes took it off road, basicly rallied it till the fuel ran out and then weighed it in for beer money,
no one wanted them, they was a big pile o shite,

How do they value that at £3,650 :?

Its a rare car, i like the look of it, these old citroens have a good following, although id prefer a cx as opposed to this.
I seen one of these on ebay france one night 20,000 euros, but it was the GS birotor, there was some of these made with wankel engines, they were not overly reliable because of the engines, and citroen stopped making them, and tried to buy them all back and scrap them so it wouldn't have to supply spare parts, the odd ones slipped the net, and it was interesting to see one, i think there is companies nowadays that can sort out the wankel engine and this one i seen had been sorted. Though it was a bit expensive.

Here is a more reasonably priced cx estate (though it does look a bit like a herse):

It must have been fairly unreliable, the bx marketing campaign had a line for the bx 'loves driving hates garages' apparently to show how the bx was so much better than the gs.
Though here is a much nicer classic:
