Had a 2013 Ds4 a few years back just the 1.6 diesel and stuck 60k miles on it and loved it....bar the rough ride going over pot holes and bumps. Apart from that it was a brilliant car and would definitely get one again 👍 the new ds4 looks amazing.

Had a 2014 DS5 2L diesel manaul for a year back in 2019. Really loved the look (mine was white) but had to move on after a year as the driving position and soft half leather seats made my sciatica flare up massively. Always loved the ds5 looks, though, really has that airplane cockpit feel to it.

Great looking car. I can't say I've ever noticed one before but that interior was fab. It's a real pity you don't feel the car is right for your garage at the moment. Personally I think you're under selling yourself, as you're a good honest trader with a good set up. Could a fancy car like that also help attract attention and sales on the others on your lot? Just a thought :) All the best

beautiful car, future classic and I always do a double take when I see one as its so rare. Such an unsusual design, like a bit of a cockpit in the inside. Hope you sell this quick as someone's gona get an amazing car. Thats much more practical than your modern day small cross over or SUV.

There’s no real horror stories with the DS5, they sit on conventional coil suspension from the C4 hatchback. The HDI engines are fantastic, this car being a 2.0 HDI it will have a proper torque converter box, not the automated manual as with the 1.6 HDI. The electrics give next to no issues either. By no means is it a comparable car to a 320d or C220d but it will certainly give less trouble than any of the German saloons.

@jsgamingtutorials9890 2 жыл бұрын

They went down in price in about 2019 and are now on the way back up probably due to the fact that good examples are thinning and that used car prices are very high at the moment due to industry shortages, I was looking at a 2020 citroen c3 flair Automatic priced at £18500 and a brand new of the same car in a lower spec automatic was £19000, pre 2020 you could get a 3 year old sub 30000miles, 1.6 automatic Astra for less than £10000. Some of the prices are particularly eye watering £15000 for a basic Hyundai i10 automatic (people are probably more bothered about the monthly repayments than the whole cost). Equipment wise cars are much higher spec than they were 3-5years ago, cars are evolving at an extremely fast rate and not necessarily for the better.

SUV, estate, hatch but doesn't do any that well as the back seats didn't gold down anywhere near flat and the load area was not very good at carrying the sort of items I wanted it for. Brilliant cars though with real Citroen DNA withal brilliant smooth citroen ride.

The DSG gearbox is well known for problems. Much improved with the EAT 8 electronic gearboxes designed by Aisin. Love my 3008 1.5 hdi eat8, getting on for three and a half years old now and mine does 60 mpg easily on a run and around 50 in daily driving. I do prefer the Peugeot variant over Citroen, they are a bit too far out there in design for me.

Citroen have a way of designing highly desirable cars, that are excellent long distance cruisers. My father had a CX, and i always liked it's magic carpet ride, you just never felt the bumps that make other cars shudder. I don't blame you for selling it on via the trade, as much as they are highly desirable, they can develop very expensive faults that only specialists can find. They remind me of Alfa Romeo's, everyone should own one in their lives, but if it goes wrong you need deep pockets.

Do you ever put any thought into margins on the aggregate? I'd be interested to hear about the economics behind whether you could make a lower margin with more volume and still cover warranty claims and make a profit. Let's say 25% of cars come back and cost 50% of their margin to fix, you could theoretically sell double the cars and knock 25% off the margin and still come out on top. I don't think the maths stacks up there, it's been a long day, but hopefully you get the gist of what I'm interested in.

I'm not sure why you passed this on James. You had a nice rare spec car there with a good profit in it. You come across as ultra confident so I'm not sure why you did this. Lovely car!

Citroen and valuable two words rarely used together unless one's referring to the classics. Auto , no handbrake and bloody purple to boot 😆 Friends and family all been glad to get rid of theirs as they don't hold their value and always in the garage. Good luck to the new owner , he'll need it 🤣
