 Here is my fathers manual C6 2.2 HDI in iron grey with navy blue/black non-leather interior.
2 Owners, my father bought this in 2007 with just 25 miles on the clock from a non-Citroen dealer.
96,800 Miles
No MOT
Has a good dink to the drivers door - my parents have a very tight driveway on a corner.
Rear Discs and pads, new handbrake solenoid, F/NS wheel speed sensor in 2022 for it's MOT
Front Discs and Pads in April 2023
Tow bar has very little use
It's always started on the button


Although my father was a mechanic, he rarely worked on his C6. It's never had any proper suspension work (ball joints but no new spheres etc), no cambelt change etc etc.

I replaced the front wishbones and NS ball joint in June 2023, the bushes had worn severely. It's not moved since, suspension is fully decompressed.
Suspension pump isn't running. Fuse is good.
The wipers also started to dance occasionally so it'll need at least a wiper ECU too.

I was unsure whether I wanted the burden of owning a big Citroen, in the end, I was doing the wishbones to sell it. After buying Lexia and a few other bits to remedy the fault, I've lost the passion in owning it and don't want to learn the ways of the big Citroen. Add to that, potentially (add spheres and ECU etc) a good £1000+ expense, I've decided to let it go. I feel too strongly about keeping vehicles like this on the road, so I would never want to pop it into your standard scrap yard.

Essentially, pricing is difficult because picking it up will be a pain for most. I understand it's actually better as a spares car too. Although, a good forum member with an optimistic goal would get a very good deal.

If you'd like a chat. PM me your number.

 That's an unusual one, cloth interior!

Did it find a home? I ask partly because there's a silver Lignage for sale that has a damaged front window and in terms of parts value (as you suggest) this would be a straightforward way to help that one back into good cosmetic order. Given the age of the advert I'm assuming it's long gone.

Cloth seats was standard specification on U.K. ‘base’ model C6.
Only 5 or 6 were sold new in the U.K.
