Hello And Looking For Advice

[Guest dkhamilton]

Hi all,

 

I am a current c5 owner but have been looking to downsize to a c4 coupe. Had looked about and found a 07 plate c4 coupe in black, vts model for £6998

 

Does this sound like a good price and how are people finding there 07 models. all advice welcome.

 

Thanks

 

Derek

We have a 2008 1.6 hdi VTS+ hatchback (not coupe) as well as a C5. The C4 is a good drivers car, sticks to the road, accelerates quickly, handles well, bends nice and fast, firm suspension ok on smooth roads but a pain on a long journey when compared to the C5, returns 60 mpg at motorway speeds when C5 (2.2 hdi) gives 50 on same journey, brakes better than on C5 requiring very little effort. Downside - not as big as C5 when there is a lot to carry, tyres are low profile so expensive (Mich £160 each), fancy steering wheel but if you are getting on a bit the controls on it are a bit close for seeing clearly, windows are small in the back, black interior a bit gloomy, easy to bump your head when getting out against front door pillar. I think Jeremy Clarkeson gave it a good write up.

 

I am not sure but I think we paid about £8k when it was 10 months old 16k miles, from our local Citroen dealer which was just as the credit crunch started and prices were low. Similarly the part ex on our Picasso was low but acceptable. Look on Citroens own dealer sites to get an idea of current prices. The car is now 36k miles and no problems. There is another C4 specific forum which is worth a look and has many postings.
