57 Already! I see the cheaper ones are now into the £23k territory. I might buy one in a couple of years time when they're going for £2k
The only thing that worries me is the new hydractive suspension. Parts and fluid are horrendous prices. You wouldn't want it to play up! -------------------- Dave.

Hi
Well if it is a new fangled emissions system for the diesels, it isn't great. The 2.7 V6 is in VED band G - £300 per year tax. Even the 2.2 twin turbo is fairly poor on emissions and strangely is heavier than the V6. Weird, how can that be. Having said all that I'm saving my pennies too. Cheers Tony |

I read an interesting article this week. Apparantly in the UK new ones (not ex demos) are only available to factory order.

Hi all.
I still can't get my head around the apparent complete lack of effort to sell them. What was the point of doing a RHD version ?????!!!!!!! Mike. -------------------- XM 2.5VSX Estate RP 7185

Down to 18 grand now.
True to form the price is dropping like a lead weight. So in a couple of months they've dropped 4+ grand. Shouldn't have to wait long at this rate This post has been edited by demag on December 21, 2007 05:22 am -------------------- Dave.

Saw one before Christmas for £16000 odd. Maybe when they are down to £6000???
This time next year? My VelSatis is now worth about £3000 and is not yet 4 years old. Its depreciated by 90% in 46 months. -------------------- Citroen XM Prestige 2.0 auto saloon 1992 (from nearly new)
