Thanks Stuey, will try and hold on long enough to find a VTR+ now... BigJohnD wrote ... The VTR+ has more controls on the steering wheel, critically MENU, MODE, Esc and OK, which make life so much easier if you're thinking of replacing the radio. Ah right, I think you have just convinced me some more, BigJonD!

The VTR+ is definitely worth the wait Velo. I was looking for a 110bhp 1.6HDi VTR+ coupe for about 4 or 5 months. The first one that I saw was the one I bought, and haven't regretted it since, especially as mine has the JBL audio system and the spoiler On the flipside, I had a VTR hatch on loan from a garage a year or so back (which convinced me the C4 would be my next car), and it was about as well equipped as my dad's old Lada! |

No, there is Wicked Red (Pearlescent) and the Sport Red  as found only on the C4 by 'Loeb's (solid)Now I am confused, as there is one advertised as metallic burgundy!  The full UK colour range, starting at the newest to the oldest is shown here: - Click Here - (scroll down for the original Hatch/Coupe) If it's a coupe and not a 'By Loeb' and it's 'Red' then it is Wicked Red. The only other reds used were on the Picasso range, Burlat and Morrelo : - Click Here - |

Hi MiniPaulo, the link worked just fine thanks I had looked at this one before, and pushed it aside due to the price. (Trouble is, I'm pretty useless at the whole haggling thing and how much price to drop to for what... I usually get carried away and end up paying the asking price! *rolls his eyes*) However, it does look pretty fantastic. I just want to wash and wax it to within an inch of it's life! |

It took me a year of looking before I found a diesel with the right mileage at the right price... If you do the miles the diesel is the one to get as a lot of owners say. | ||||

I reckon you could walk into that dealers and say heres £4K and walk out with it. It needs some cosmetic work, you really forget how much they need colour coding, spoilers and splitters | ||||

The dealers got a MINIMUM of a grand in that car, maybe 2, thats the margins they work on, (unless it's someone selling from the kerb), so go in there & offer him £3750 to take it off his hands, he can only say no. | ||||

Thanks for clueing me up a little, trev h. She is a little beauty. How important is service history on these cars? I know it's always best policy to get one with full Citroen Service History - should I walk away if there is little or no history? |

On a HDi regular documented Oil and filter changes are vital for the turbo, petrol models can go far longer But if your concerned about service history, think how a buyer will feel when you come to sell on eventually....... |

Good point C6 Dave. I probably shall not end up selling on - I tend to own my cars until they have to go to the scrapyard in the sky, but I think I'll find one with FSH, ideally FCSH if possible

When I went hunting for my current C4 I only looked at the cars with full Citroen service history... there's a lot to be said for peace of mind! | ||||

I was given £3,500 trade-in when I got our nouvelle C4, and within 48 hours it was on the forecourt for £5,000. I'll also bet that my deal was "adjusted" so that the trade-in value was only £3,200. So if they shifted it for only £4,250 within a week, then they'd made around a grand or 25% very quickly - not bad business. |
