C5 "exclusive" - How Do I Tell? & Xenon Lights...

[Johndouglas]

They have really down-specced the new C5

 

Why would anyone want to buy a VTR C5 without hydraulic suspension. Might just as well go for a Mondeo.

The Mk2 C5's sold with a discount of about £3K in 2006 making them a lot of car for the money

 

& the down side is residuals down the line.

just for a laugh i've been looking at a vRS Octavia 170 diesel £15k.

P/X on mine..... £300. and no i haven't missed any noughts off mores the pity

'02 2.0 hdi estate, few dings but interior good, major stumbling block is mileage...200k, but for work it's worth a lot more than that

i don't what list price was new but even private sale for an average miler is still in region of only 10% ?

The dealers clearly don't want your car - they can't retail it .Must be worth more to sell privately

i realise that but even with no PX listed at 15k, price to me, cash.....£14.5k :rolleyes: a whopping £500 off

Why would you want a Skoda?

I've heard of one that blew 2 turbos in 18 months - from new!

Very dodgy as they get older/out of warranty.

Hi, I live in France, bought an exclusive in England with Xenons. I never got flashed with the Xenons. Spent the last month and a half trying to get the car through the French 'Control Technique'. Low down is that the lights do kick to the left, so fail - at Citroen main dealer they kindly put the light guage machine in front of the car with the lights on to show me. Citroen make RH sets and LH sets (why if there's no difference?). They then gave me a quote for 2,238.67 Euros for changing them! I managed to find a pair of Halogens at a local scrap yard for 50 Euros each which I have managed to fit - although I had to change one wire in the headlight itself. Not sure what to do with my winnings!!
