I don't see many Citroen C6's on sale here, probably because they were so niche it hurt.
A few for sale in the UK though, might be worth importing.
Ultimate waft-mobile imho!
But the tax.... I'm going to assume that the 230mg of CO2 is going to make a post 2008 model astronomical to tax.

€2350 p/a :eek:

Would you even get insurance in that nowadays? A 4.6ltr 11 year old car.

Yes. i insure a 2006 RX 400 no bother, they are actually cheap enough to insure thanks to a low accident class. Boy racers stay away from them so that helps.

The LS has only a couple of weeks NCT, so beware.

Looks clean, taxed as a PSV and short NCT though. Might not bother some people.

KevRossi · 02-12-2018 05:05PM

So does a Q7 qualify as a Luxobarge? At just over 5.0m or 17 foot in old money, it certainly has the size.

This one is about a grand cheaper than anything else on donedeal, there's plenty of them around the €6K mark. So either looking for money quickly so it's a bargain or something amiss.

€4,700, 3.0 diesel, 09/19 and 233,000 KM. 7 seats and a nice colour scheme.

That's a nice example too with good spec some of those only came with Halogen lights..

Eric Cartman · 02-12-2018 05:14PM

definitely counts, great car and especially for that money, in the exact right colours imo, and miles aren't galactic.

however I do have concerns, what are "Hit sheats"

Duke O Smiley · 02-12-2018 05:20PM

Yeah, thats nice alright. I don't think they're as nice or as classy as a Range Rover though

For that money though you couldn't really complain

Very very hard to find an intact Range Rover for that money though. The 2002-2003 ones are an absolute nightmare for reliability,

that said, I believe this RR Sport just about qualifies in here, price is right, new NCT, lots of work done to it. That 2.7 has had its issues but id imagine that one has most of the revised / updated parts on it now, for that money a few trips to a trusted indy mechanic can be stomached.

i think it's a language issue.. Heated Seats would be my guess, along with
Cruising control ... cruise control
Pedal sheft .... paddle shift

Duke O Smiley · 02-12-2018 06:22PM

I agree, I would say if you are looking for a luxury 4x4 a RangeRover is obviously your best bet, but with only €5k in your pocket that Q7 would be a nice compromise.

I was looking at that Sport a few days ago. Tiny wheels, unpainted mirrors and handles! Its missing cloth seats and a manual gearbox

And the ****ing ky reg I'd love one though

KevRossi · 02-12-2018 06:48PM

Terrible build quality on the RR Sport. I'd go for the Q7 out of those two.

Having said that I've an 06 RX 400h the past year and put 30,000 km of motoring to and from Germany on it. Serious comfort and very reliable. €120 of repairs for the NCT all standard wear and tear.

Marlow · 02-12-2018 07:05PM

And I'd have an Audi Allroad Quattro any day over a Q7 or RR Sport .... oh wait ... that's what I have

Can't bate the Lexus reliability though I have a GS nearly 4 years now and it cost nothing to maintain! LS 600H next year when my tax is out!:)

Hi
Is the all road much heavier on diesel / fuel compared to standard a4/a6

I have no idea. I've never owned an A4/A6 .. nor would I want to. Nor can you compare my fuel consumption with normal usage.

I use my Allroad off-road and on-road. I go to mast-sites, through fields and heavy terrain on a regular basis.

It also depends on what engine you pick and choose. Plus not all Allroads are Quattro. The Allroad can be got in 2WD.

I always wanted one of those since I drove one back in Lithuania. If it would be black, it would be perfect Estern europe gangster car.

That's very strong money for that car IMO. Does look clean however.

Old diesel · 06-12-2018 10:00PM

E32 7 series.....

1) it's from the era BMW was making the breakthrough as a car lots of people aspired to - yet the cars were rare enough to not be on every street corner and still had some uniqueness compared to normal cars of the era. (These days BMW are a normal car unless youve a proper M class - M135, M3, M4).

2) it's a car of the 80s and the 80s is starting to get "cool".

3) 6 cylinder petrol in an age of diesels.

4) sit into your old German chariot on a Sunday for a trip to a car show and have something relatively different to the Merc 123s, old Fords, old Toyotas etc.

5) it's got presence without looking whacky.

All the above should move them from the pick one up for silly cheap 15 to 20 years ago and horse a Nissan diesel into it era to something worth paying for if you have the right example.

Valuing these cars is hard - they aren't exactly Mk 2 Escorts or Corolla twin cams - but if this one is nice and usable it should be a reasonable investment for 3 k for a car thats rare enough to be different while been originally built and engineered to a standard that still should make them very usable in 2018 motoring terms if in good working order.

Remember these things were probably built to do silly speeds on German autobhans without feeling stressed.

Edit it's a manual *sad face*.

Still though
