Hi, this morning on the way to work was lasered: 56 in the 30’s zone! (it is very sweet at the place, there are no children running around, but the excuses are always the same!) the friendly policeman mine to me (except that I should please carry the vehicle ticket): that would be 50 ores and 1 point, except I would have had something similar in the last two years already (I had the last spring => 75 EURO and 3 points!) would be a little more expensive. I think I’m more likely to have a mon at may go to foot! experiences? (except that I would have deserved it, I know!)

Today arrived by registered mail: … within the scope of quality assurance … blablabla … update of the software for the airbag control unit. “This update can be better taken into account by the airbag control unit certain impact situations, which are below the regulated trigger threshold.” (…) Duration: about 2 hours. Apart from the fact that this is somehow not German … the actions are slowly accumulating, right? Couldn’t one integrate a CD drive on the radio n that the software updates can process via CD-ROM? The CDs could then send Citroen by mail – would be much more convenient than having to make an appointment each time.

Hello everyone, I am not a Citroen driver, at the latest since a visit of the AMI together with there performed test drives with C4 and C6 however I am the brand much more open-minded What gives me to think, however, are the currently extremely low selling prices, at least for the C2-C4 models. Even with a Citroen NL directly you get on the vehicles between 2 and 4000 EUR discount, and that without even having entered into price negotiations. In Germany, for example, between 22 and 25% discount on new cars, no day registrations and no reimportation. Both the intermediary and the Jütten-Koolen will earn something from the brokering business as well as the supplying German Citroen dealer. Thus, one can buy a sparkling new C4 there in the basic equipment for 10,400 EUR, as much as the entry model of a new polo in about currently The C2s are available from just over 8,000 EUR. For the customer, these are certainly very good prices, but I ask myself seriously whether a comparable good quality can still be produced at these prices, especially since the profit margins in the compact class are anyway lower as with the Cash Cows middle and upper middle classes. In the industry, PGA is regarded as a strong cost braker and allegedly invests with the strongest thumbscrews at the suppliers in Europe. Under these prices, the prices of used cars continue to go into the basement, because on the one hand, the price difference for young used cars is almost no longer available compared to new vehicles, on the other hand, the prices for multi-year used cars are certainly also affected. The importer, on the other hand, wants to increase his sales figures by such actions, but must also be interested in the structure of prices, especially in terms of the contract My somewhat perplexed thoughts are not meant provocatively. I am rather perplexed whether I should find this development mainly positive or negative. One can certainly observe the dumping-price-development at Citroen for a long time. As soon as the C4 had hatched fresh, there were already the first 3-4000 EUR promotions. Good discounts are today the key to the buyer with almost every brand, but as extreme as with Citroen the IMHO at kei I would be interested in your opinions, especially those of Citroen drivers, on this subject. How did you deal with this when buying? Finally, you want to purchase a vehicle that should have long-term qualities and can be brought at a good price as a used vehicle to the man/wife. Greeting Verso

Hello! I’ve been a CIT driver for 17 years, unfortunately Citroen goes back to the roots. Had 2 BX-satisfied,3Xantia-satisfied, a C5 and then started with the problems. Purchased me totally unnerved a Picasso HDI 2.0 90 hp and it got worse. one problem followed the other. Now I tested a Picasso 1.6i,109 Ps gasoline (new car) and what is it? On the box stood on 3000 tours and away from the gas – end pot it snaps and scrapes a joy. That is clear quality loss the a uch the subcontractors you have to test!!! Too bad because I always liked to drive a CIT. mfg Franz
