Whats it worth

Unread post by **DHallworth** » 07 Mar 2007, 00:26

I mentioned in a previous post that i was looking at buying a C5 with a dead HDi Engine.

I bought this car with intentions of swaping the engine with a spare HDi engine i had.

Between showers in the last couple of weeks i have washed the car and hoovered the interior.

However with work commitments and the weather in scotland i just dont have the time or the inclination to get soaked doing it!!

Citroen C5 SX
Its a Y Reg
HDi 110
190k miles
Silver in Colour
Grey Velour interior (always had seat covers on)
Manual
MOT till September '07 i think
Tax till June '07
Alloy Wheels
3 tyres are good, one slightly scrubbed, could be rescued it tracking was done now.
Tow Bar
Couple of little dents around the car.

Tidy car that i had intended to give to my mother to try and tempt her out of her Rover 200 that she seems to live

I also have a spare HDi engine that i am willing to negotiate on price with if the car was collected quickly.

Time and weather is my problem, but so are my parents as i have to many cars at home:

2 Peugeot 306's
3 Citroen XM's
4 Land Rover Forward Controls.

So unfortunately the C5 has to go i think.

Regards
David.

I'd guess that it's not worth a whole lot, probably around the £3k mark if it wasn't for the engine being a tad dead .... with the dead engine you're down to salvage value, which with the mileage might be a couple of hundred pounds.

I have to say I'm tempted to make you and offer, but of late I don't have the amount of time I'd need to swap the engine. The weather is getting nicer, with the summer only a few months away, is it not worth the hassle to you of waiting and doing the engine swap when the weather is nice?
