I had one several years ago and I can identify with all the problems, both immediately obvious and plenty of others not quite so obvious. Mine was a 2.3 inj and when it was going, it was great. However it cost a small fortune to keep it that way.
In addition to all the other points made thus far, do check the wiring (especially under the dash, which will more than likely be very frilly and believe you me you don't want to know what a new loom costs.
Lovely cars if you buy one that someone else has sorted. Bloke who bought mine got a f***ing bargain.....although it was only going to need a Grand of welding in the boot, a new steering rack, front wing repair, and an engine rebuild. Still a bargain tho.

Re: Tell me about the Citroen DS. I would STILL rather have a Traction Avant.

Re: Tell me about the Citroen DS. I'd rather have one of these, but since there's 2 in the whole world then it's probably a bit unlikely... sigh.
