what should you beware of with these cars?
If i bought one would it cost a fortune to keep it on the road?
I have seen one with low milage one owner from new near me price is good also.
Too good to be true?[8]

Assuming that you are au fait with the BX and all the usual citroen "features":
Beware the exhaust which is rare and pricey. The gearboxes and transfer boxes can get abused and trashed, too. They are expensive. If the exhaust and transmission are both good then they can be fun. Otherwise buy it for somebody you don't like.
