Hi

 

After months of dithering, I just bought a super bargain on ebay

 

2008 /08 reg C5 petrol exclusive hatchback with under 4k miles - just over 1 year old, not even due for 1st service - still has new car smell - price £5,500

 

Reason - category D write off 6 months ago under a "new for old" policy - 1st owner curbed it and damaged subframe. Fully repaired by second owner - MOT tested to check all is well. Ran HPI check and all clean.

I doubt if Citroen will honour the remaining 2 years warranty, but at this price for an "as new" car - who cares??

 

Seller was pretty disappointed he only got the starting price - dangerous to set a low start price in the summer when there are no buyers in the market ( apart from lucky me!!) Book price without cat d is around £10k

What a great bargain. If only it had been a HDI ;)

I'm with Techbod - I don't do diesels . so I'm over the moon with it.

 

I have a company fuel card, so only paying 40p a litre (taxable benefit) I pay for my own maintenance though so a petrol makes sense for me.

 

I love the auto box - very clever. dropping down when you are going downhill. Just got to remember not to pull the stick forward when I want to go from 3rd to 4th! It won't let you do anything disastrous of course, just embarrassing..

 

Thanks
