Citroën’s last big flagship saloon with hydropneumatic suspension (Hydractive 3+ with AMVAARS), Lounge Pack interior, the 440Nm, 150kW 2.7L V6 HDi Turbo Diesel engine and Aisin AM6 6-speed automatic transmission.
This example is in excellent condition and has been very well maintained its entire life with the maintenance records to go with it.
It isn’t perfect, but it’s doing very nicely for its age and mileage (219450km) and we’ve done what we can to make it an enjoyable, reliable prestige Citroën motoring experience for ourselves and our children. …..and now we need a people-mover more than a grand touring saloon.
Work done within last 20K km:
* Engine – serviced & health-checked OK following rear cyl. head replacement due to uncommon valve gear issue;
* Timing belt – renewed;
* Radiator – renewed;
* Cooling system plumbing, oil cooler & other fittings in the ‘valley’ between the cylinder banks – all renewed;
* Automatic transmission - fluid fully flushed;
* Brake servo & vacuum pump – renewed;
* ABS wheel sensors – renewed;
* Air conditioning – serviced;
* Battery – renewed;
* Rear right door electric lock actuator – renewed;
* Tyres – renewed.
Included with car:
• Two remote keys, both working and in good condition;
• Owner’s manual and wallet, complete;
• Maintenance history document wallet;
• Original sales brochure and Australian launch information booklet.
For a Queensland buyer, the car will be sold with a QLD Safety Certificate. For interstate buyers, an appropriate authorised inspection certification and sale pricing adjustments can be negotiated.
$16990, negotiable.
Some of the C6 charms that we’ve appreciated:
• Hydractive 3+ with AMVAARS suspension – the ultimate pursuit by Citroën of ride comfort by hydropneumatics
• Electro-hydraulic power steering – fantastically light at low speeds
• Powerful, safe braking system – emergency stops are very impressive
• Automatic transmission – smooth & unobtrusive
• Smooth, quiet power & high-speed cruising – this car just loves the highway
• Cruise control & speed limiter – easy foot-free cruising for when traffic is light,… or easy right foot cruising for when traffic is heavier and you know how fast you want to go,……. but the car in front doesn’t
• Automatic climate control & air-conditioning - works well & quietly
• Athermic windscreen – significantly reduces cabin heat gain, especially driving into the sun
• Leather steering wheel – fully adjustable & without hundreds of buttons
• Leather, electric, heated front seats – fully adjustable & generously upholstered
• Lounge Pack ‘TGV’ style electric, heated rear seats with heaps of legroom, with remote adjustment of front passenger fore-aft position for even more legroom for rear left passenger (see photos)
• JBL audio system with Bluetooth (aftermarket) & 6 CD changer – great, powerful sound
• Large windows & slim pillars all around – near-full 360° visibility & minimal blind spots
• Electric mirrors with selectable auto-dipping in reverse gear – easy reverse parking near kerbs etc. without scraping the wheels.
• Sonic parking sensors with colour display on dash – early aural proximity warning while your eyes are on sizing-up the obstacles outside the car
• Speedometer & heads-up-display - accurate, brilliantly legible with HUD fully adjustable (on/off, height, brightness, info presented) & less driver fatigue at night
• Dash lighting ‘Dark’ mode – again, less driver fatigue at night
• Directional Bi-Xenon automatic headlamps & fixed foglamps front & rear – excellent
• Automatic windscreen wipers – excellent & parked below bonnet rear edge (out of air flow)
• Electric, frameless, double-glazed windows with remote closing
• Active spoiler
• Aluminium doors
• Aluminium bonnet with gas struts
• Boot with low loading lip, huge capacity & useful, regular shape.
The C6 has many other bells and whistles of course. Those above are just the ones that float our boat and we’re guessing may interest other enthusiasts with similar tastes. We wish we could keep this magnificent car, but we need to make space in our lives for a people-mover.
Please send me a message via Aussiefrogs to exchange phone numbers, for further info and to make arrangements to inspect and test drive, anywhere between Springfield and Toowoomba.
Thanks for looking.
Harvey.
