Hi Guys,
looking to replace my XPic for a newer model spotted one a 2004 model but only 22,000 miles for the same price as a 2006/07 model with 40,000-50,000 miles both 1.6 110bhp HDi`s.
What would be the better value bearing in mind that i think the newer one has a FAP system on it?
What price for a low mileage car?

If you were selling the low mileage car, I doubt that they would take that into account when fixing the price.
In six years it's done 22K so it has constantly done short journeys and maybe hardly ever got warmed up. If it's been serviced according to mileage, the oil will have taken a hammering.
Unless there's a vast difference on price, I would be considering the later one.

I asume the 2004 Picasso is a 2.0HDi?
The 1.6 is supposed to be a good engine, possibly more ecomomical than the 2.0 too. The FAp system isnt too much of a pain on the later cars, mainly the early 2.2 C5s. So as long as you get the fluid topped up when its needed then it 'should' be fine.
Id go for the later car, which will be the facelifted version too, im not sure if the 2004 will be?
