I have no idea what you're talking about ... :D
You're a prime example VAB! :-D They'll have to invent a new model for all the upgrades you've done on your C5, perhaps the 2.0 HDI Various Additional Bits edition!

Really? I don't think so.... if that were the case I'd be able to get 10 grand for my 04 plate Berlingo..

sadly , no matter what anyone wants to believe - its a buyers market. if *something* is `strongly priced then the reality is it`ll sit there doing nothing - case point ; I`ve been watching on ebay 1 part for 6 months - its overpriced and they haven't sold any in 6 months.

the same with cars - if you price your car strongly , then it`ll sadly sit there

Unless it's a Berlingo M59 (the Pre-07 ones oddly) They still do command good money. Mine's still worth (in real terms, as I know what they're selling for) 2/3rds of what I paid for it nearly 6 years ago.

correct.....

so if the ideal X7 appears to be a 2.0HDi, auto and a tourer, i quite look forward to hearing what mines worth as PX against a 12k CR-V, santa Fe etc?
09 plate, 135k, 1k+ spent over last 2yrs and still not 100%, i love it but sadly it's time is run...faults as it stands on the driveway now.....
anti pollution fault, not convinced EOLYS is functioning?
limp mode whenever it feels like it, cruise again same problem
juddering box, feels like a wheel has fell off
something fluttering in the heater box
auto light sensor faulty
indicator beep gone back to France
steering rack still leaking or something on LDS circuit
few battle scars
what seems like a 30s eco mode setting even with new battery
i'm sure there's more? oh yes, my Diagbox won't/can't display soot levels, live data, communicate with EOLYS ECU although i won't rule out operator error :oops:

Yes you're right...worth Sweet fanny Adams
currently '06 C5 2.0 HDi auto estate Tip run and France trekker - well should be!! occupied currently by '10 Superb DSG 170 elegance- whistles and bells that work
