My '90 Citroën BX diesel is offered for sale

It’s on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for less than $1k. I wonder how large the market for these cars is. If an international reader is interested in this 25+ year old vehicle: shipping or !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (take a European road trip, then ship it) is an option, just like with my E30 Touring.

For some reason I only just realized I haven’t posted !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about this hydropneumatic suspended car on Oppo. I bought it for another oppo member, but due to his disappearance I’m offering it for sale. It runs and drives well, with no known issues besides a bit of incontinence. 320k+ on the metric odometer. Comes with a legitimate Haynes manual.

I quoted a higher price recently, but I just want it gone. It’s for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on autoscout now. Let’s say $1k plus costs if I ship it.

The interiour looks pretty mint. Well, even the exteriour isn’t too bad a shape given the age and mileage.

I once assisted a lady in a BX by giving her a battery boost. The plastic hood felt plain weird. It makes sense on all kinds of levels, it just feels too light.

Owning this frightens me.

So you’ll not be holding this in escrow for 505, then.

Damnit, I still need a 2nd car, and this would fit the bill. And I’m only like 2-3 hours south of you, too. But if I go Citroen I want a DS....

Nah, mostly because I like being happily married and have no desire to own a Citrus.

Hon hon hon Citron ees like lemon hon hon.
I have to admit murder by suspension-lowering on top of you would be a unique way to go, but pushing your wife to that point isn’t okay.

But where are you going to get a running/inspected/not-rusty DS for €750?

Well, it doesn’t have 320+k on the odometer for nothing.

I’d have to pony up 3500 Euro :(

The whole car is pretty light. Where are you going to get a specious car like this, with a heavy diesel engine even, for roughly 1000 kg nowadays? It seats 4 in spacious comfort and it fits, as you can see, 4 full size wheels+tires in the hatch.

There is no way that car is that nice for that little money. Is there? Did he not forget to type a 1 in front of that price? Or is it a scam? If it is legit stop thinking, get some cash and throw it at the seller RIGHT NOW!

Look, it isn’t a rational fear, ok?
