I knew the guy that bought it was a trader. That car was ready to die, and is without a doubt the worst car I have ever driven.

I was so happy to see the back of the hateful thing.

Tempted???

I'd be happy to see the back of it too

I wouldn't be tempted if it was £5.75

So presumably he's going to be making double bubble off of it if you were just happy to get rid of it ...dealers huh

Haha yeh I don't know why I ever bought it. Didn't lose anything on it though, thankfully. He has no chance of getting rid of it at that price... less than 2 months MOT, no tax AND it's a Daewoo.

It also drives like the front axle is held on by string, and the engine goes a little bit on fire after a few minutes of driving.

Hateful car

That just means the car has 'character'

It wouldn't be a Daewoo if it wasn't a p.o.s

Here's your v6

Only 400 lids aswell

That's a cheap V6 Xantia. I really want one. Find me one on this island

It'll be interesting to see how one compares to the C5 V6.

A hell of a lot faster i would imagine

They're as rare as hens teeth over here,I can't ever remember coming across one on gumtree or anything like that

I do like this however,even do it's only a 1.6

Ooooh it's got the no airbag steering wheel! Nice colour, and it's petrol

Shame it's not a sinker.

There was a V6 Xantia on gumtree up here, Robert went to view it and said it was needing quite a bit of work. They were looking £1200 as well

XantiaDaveEire · Unread post by **XantiaDaveEire** » 23 Jun 2011, 17:29

I love those steering wheels

It would be too irresistible for me if it was a sinker ,good job it isn't

pretty decent condition aswell...and for a woman driver too

I find cars over here ridiculously overpriced for the condition,any cars i buy in the future will all be British

Are you getting the white Cx ?

R9UKE · Unread post by **R9UKE** » 23 Jun 2011, 23:25

Yeh I was gona say, that price is a bit steep. Usually the only overpriced old Citroens on this land come from Robert's place

Yeh you have it bad with VRT, I couldn't live with that. How much would it cost you to take the likes of a Xantia or C5 V6 from here to there???

XantiaDaveEire · Unread post by **XantiaDaveEire** » 23 Jun 2011, 23:31

From here to there ?

I don't mind paying a little more for a better car do

I'v come across these two which look tidy .... http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-moto ... f/82590267

And this one http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-moto ... c/81677544

I just tease myself when i look at them
