Car Forum / Citroen Cars / April 2006Xantia V6 Auto RHD - how much would one be worth in the uk ?
as subject, if you /could/ buy one how much would you be prepared to pay ? ball park figure. mint condition, c50,000 miles, factory RHD, FSH, no rust, fully loaded with leather interior. £5k ? £7.5k £10k ? *and* is it possible to fit an activa system to a non activa V6 ? serious questions. . (-@-.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : > as subject, if you /could/ buy one how much would you be > prepared to pay ? ball park figure. > > mint condition, c50,000 miles, factory RHD, FSH, no rust, > fully loaded with leather interior. All UK v6s were autos and Exclusive spec, with leather and "fully loaded". > £5k ? £7.5k £10k ? Not A Cat In Hell's. It'd be worth £2.5k at *BEST*. And it'd struggle to sell. > *and* is it possible to fit an activa system to a non activa V6 ? It'd be easier to go the other way round - drop the v6 into a TCT Activa. > .

It's a six-to-eight year old Citroen. It's thirsty. It's bloody complex and expensive to maintain. Even an HDi Xant's worth no more than £3k. Even at that, you're getting into early C5 money. Ten grand's approaching *facelift* (and that's 54-plate) v6 C5 territory... (If they've sold any) Ten grand's not far off getting you into a new C5... >>> *and* is it possible to fit an activa system to a non activa V6 ? >> It'd be easier to go the other way round - drop the v6 into a TCT >> Activa. > ok. > .

(-@-.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : >> It's bloody complex and expensive to maintain. > what on ? spheres ? is it all diy'able ? IIRC the cambelt's eight hour book time. It's a very big engine in a small space. The rear plugs are a bastard on an XM, allegedly. Inlet manifold off. The engine in my TCT XM has plenty of space around it. I've looked at the engine bay in a TCT Activa, and it scared me. > .

I know they are complex but I bet it's a hoot. It's a Xant. But with 200bhp. If you're meaning what's an Activa like, it's a Xant, but with a firm ride. But no body roll. And a tendency to forget where "level" is, and do a little dance at traffic lights. > .

And the VAT. And the parts. Belt, tensioners, water pump. I'd be surprised if you get away with less than £600. >> If you're meaning what's an Activa like, it's a Xant, but with a firm >> ride.

And it's made by Ford. And it's got no suspension. <peers closely at post> f.ck. You can get WORSE suspension? Oh, and if I want a car built by vikings, I'll have another one with the ignition key on the floor, ta. >> unless you are particularly fond of les auto de France, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > But... but... but... it's a *filing cabinet*. wardrobe surely ? > And it's made by Ford. err ... F*rd may own Volvo NOW but when the 850s were made they were most definately Svedish - and believe me when I say that Ford would sell Volvo if they could coz they wont play the F*rd game!! The Svedes hated being bought by F*rd and have continued to behave as if they weren't ... F*rd purchasing particularly have a hard time persuading Volvo to play the F*rd game ... > And it's got no suspension. > <peers closely at post> f.ck. You can get WORSE suspension? lets keep it clean for phuqs sake .... there's suspension for comfort, and there's suspension for spirited driving ... my Xant is comfortable, my Volvo was fast .... > Oh, and if I want a car built by vikings, I'll have another one with > the ignition key on the floor, ta. s'amazing - put a key in the floor and you fool people into thinking a Vectra is actually a nice car .... GM have owned Saab for longer than F*rd have tried to own Volvo ... >>> unless you are particularly fond of les auto de France, >> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > Vectra is actually a nice car ....

I'd be v keen to try an Activa Xant - did they do a high output diesel with this as an option? >>>>> unless you are particularly fond of les auto de France, >>>> [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > I'd be v keen to try an Activa Xant - did they do a high output > diesel with this as an option? no clue, sorry but there's a 2.0i on a W on autotrader http://tinyurl.com/hd2tv I think citroen buggered up by not releasing a V6 activa in either auto or manual, and I know it /can/ be done but for what it would cost to get sorted you could buy a 'bishi GTO. V6 activa would be a thing to behold, tho. > I'd be v keen to try an Activa Xant - did they do a high output diesel > with this as an option? Not in the UK. RHD Activas were TurboCT only, but Europe got LHD HDi and v6. |
