Just a bit of fun

Over 3 years the Porsche will lose you £30,539
Over the same 3 years a Citroen C6 would lose you £30,420

Decisions, decisions...

Brand new GT3 for blasting and used C6 for wafting could be the ideal pairing...

And the interest to purchase would be?

I've yet to see a £7k C6.. would be very tempting for the money.

Except that I can't see any C6's at the £7495 they say in Whatcar.

Just checked Autotrader and the cheapest on there is £9495 for a 2006 car. However a 2007 GT3 is £59,000 which is £4000 higher than they claim.

Maybe they are talking trade in prices?

I'd still guess the C6 has a lot more to lose over another 2 or 3 years and will be worth nearer £2000 by the time it's 5 or 6 years old which is a scary thought for any owners. A lot of car for the money for any buyers I guess.

Edit: Beaten to it while looking at GT3's wink

What a load of pish. Cheapest 3yr old C6 is £13,500 on Autotrader.

Plus, you'd be spending way more than list price to get a well specced Porsche, which isn't the case with the C6.

Those C6's look like epic cars if they are under 10k

Rare too, only ever seen one 'up north'

C6 is great looking car. I've seen a few around but they are rare.
