Citroen Xsara Picasso?

Anyone have any experiences they can share, as I'm considering one I've seen for sale.

    I have a 04 diesel Executive. There is also a Desire, and I think one other.
    They are pretty much love or hate cars. I love mine. Good boot space, 3 separate seats in the back, you sit slightly higher than other cars.

    The petrols are great, as is the 2.0HDI.

    I've resold quite a few while trading, they're a good news story as far as i'm concerned.

    Dont pay too much for them as they dont hold their value terribly well, but all round good cars.

    That explains the screen price.

    How much, what engine size, what miles and how much mot?
  • Screen price is £2,395, but I won't be paying that.

    Not sure about the rest, as I haven't viewed it properly yet.

    They're starting to get a bad reputation for the sills rotting, from the inside out.
  • If rotting sills is the only problem, then it's not the end of the world.

    They can be replaced fairly cheaply.

    I'm more concerned with any reports of engine, transmission, or electrical system problems.
