Expect a Citroen to depreciate faster than virtually any other make of car. For that reason, I have no specific knowledge of them. Just a heads-up in case you're interested.

Which makes buying a two year old one a good idea. At least from the point of view of depreciation.

thanks for all your helpful comments:)

i know not everyone will like this car or want to buy it yourself, in fact none of you obviously would but it is the 1 i want and just wondered if this was a good price for that age, mileage etc
thank you again

Debatable and certainly a subjective decision, depending factors such as how long you expect to keep the car.

I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a serial Citroen owner because it's the only thing you'd be able to trade it in for without excessive loss.

It's not debatable in the context of your original comment.

The best time to buy a heavily depreciating car is after the original drop in value.

Go to the autotrader website and search for similar vehicles for sale. That should give you a good idea.

I'm going to agree to differ here, because you know everyone's circumstances and intentions and I do not.
