Holy moly ! Just seen my car for sale by a main dealer (I sold it to an intermediary trader).
Anyone interested in car pm me and i can give you tips on what to check-out when seeing the car ( although I'm sure the dealer has fixed any minor issues).
It's a fantastic car , specced up like noboby's business!

I saw one of these C6's the other day in white with some pimped black windows. It really was a great looking car and so rare on the roads. IIRC the large 3.0 diesel is the same that goes in the Jag so should be good for some oomph.
Great choice of car, and very different from the normal euro box. Hope it proves reliable - electrics especially.
Nice

BTW the engine is the same 2.7d that's in the Jag S-type /XF - more details about this when i get round to doing my report on the car.

The dealers just don't want "big" engines as no customers want to buy em. Ironically I was told by a few dealers that if my car had been a 530d instead of 535d I would have been able to offload it easier.
Apparently punters are put off and think a 535d will be much more costly to run despite the difference being minimal in real terms.

Doesn't your wife/girlfriend mind you putting an animated GIF of her on the net?
Of course not. She's always on TV (CBS) anyways...

To the OP: Don't take it too hard. My neighbour has a C6 and it is probably the most comfortable car I've ever been in. Ever. Really. Citroens are quirky for sure, but they're also technologically innovative and individualistic.
I also don't think it's the ugliest car in the world, in fact they are kinda cool. I think it's quite funny how many people have recoiled in horror when you consider how many of them have expressed a liking for an SUV (they're all ugly) or, even worse, the Cadillac CTS-V, which appears to have been "designed" by a 13 year old with his hand in his shorts.
I for one am glad there is variety in car design (indeed many people have said that our car, the E60, is a design disaster) and Citroen do more than their share to keep things exciting IMHO.

She asked me to post it so all the e60 owners could comment on her.
