Citroen Xantia - Why so cheap and what to look for
Ok mate of mine has a lada right now (no sniggering at the back please) and the MOT has just come back as failed, it still has 10 days validity so hes on the lookout for something new. (repair cost higher than value of the car when he got it two years ago lol)
Hes seriously tempted by an R reg Xantia and wants to know what, if anything to look out for, its a 77,000 miler, petrol, manual.
So any one got any suggestions on what to look for? I can't get over how cheap these are for a second hand car, they look cracking value...

I have a 1.8 16v Xantia, yeah i know! Problem is it was standing for a while although i did start it every week, now there is an issue with the rear suspension, a day ago it would go up to the top on max height, now its on the bottom and solid, i can hear the front clicking but if that is gone why does tyhe front lift? Or does that go to both?
N reg 96, i think. Bought from a woman 2 owners from new, engine rebuild at 26,000 has 66,000 on it now.
I had a look at the rear spheres and the look newish the accumulator is rusty(not all the way round) Another question, if i change the rear accumulator will this cure the back end or is there more to it? Thanks For Reading.
And sorry about being in the wrong area too, just having very bad day with my car!
