Happy new year!
How's that V6 coming?

Hey Dean...V6 is not sold...yet....but my 2.0i selling is slow since nobody seems to care about it's condition.
Like i said before....for most people it's just a 27 year old car....nothing else.I need to wait for Xm enthusiast if i want to sell it for the right price.
I could sell it for less than i asking for it but that's just not worth of consideration since the car have no investments of any kind.
From this point of view it seems that it will stay and that V6 will make him company....but....when i think twice....i really don't want and don't need 3 cars.
The other solution would be to buy a V6 and to store it untill regitration expire at the end of the year...to register V6 and to keep 2.0i for parts car.
I'm still thinking....we'll see.

What are XM values like in Serbia then? Fairly poor I would guess?

[misha]

For big old Citroens...they are fairly poor....in fact for all Hydraulic Citroens.

Good for buying, not so good for selling then, like you say.
If only you could sell tariff free in the Netherlands

Not good for buying too.
All of them have scrappy prices because all of the investments they need.
You buy it for cheap and then you invest 3 times more of it's worth to be driveable and fully functional....if you work on it yourself without paying a mechanic.

I didn't see 5 of them in a condition like mine in Serbia for last 5 years owning an Xm.There were few of them advertised in last few years but with a lot higher price than mine....and of course....they didn't sold and owners aborted their selling....and decided to sell them in parts.

I don't bother to sell if for "whatever it takes"....if i sell it-good....if not- i will still have a great car which serves me well.
