sebastienbuick Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hello, a friend in France is selling her 2012 Citroen C6 with the V6 3L HDI engine, lounge pack. 194,000 km, in perfect condition inside and outside, dark gray in color. Distribution made at 185,000 km, everything works. He would like 11,000 € . It seems to me that there are armored windows too. I can have more photo or information if someone is interested.

8E45E Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 It will have to be 15 years old when it can be imported to Canada legally. Come see me in 2027 if its still for sale!! Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, I'm at the opposite end of the country, which would make it too far to travel just to drive it around for a weekend! Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I thought that brand was dead years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Not at all. And now they own Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep. Stellantis is the merger of PSA(includes Citroen) and FIAT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Only in North America. Sales couldn't justify jumping thru all the US regulatory hoops. Their presence is otherwise worldwide. Those regs are why we couldn't get the good European and Japanese stuff new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Although the Citroen hydropneumatic suspension is very interesting, it doesn't always age gracefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig It's a shame, I didn't know. So you can't buy a car in a European country (or other) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Oh sure, you can buy a car in a European country, but it has to be 'Federalized', either for the US and Canada before it can be legally registered. One can spend thousands of dollars to make it comply, or they can wait until its 15 years old in Canada, or 25 years old in the US when it becomes exempt.

Seems silly doesn't it? They cannot be imported because they are not "up to standard" and are some sort of danger. But at 25 years they are suddenly Okay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Okay I didn't know it was that complicated. Because here in France you can buy a 2015 Camaro or a 2012 Buick in the United States without any problem. And I thought it was the same for the united states or canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, in France you can buy a car in any country. There is just to make it pass to the "mines" to have the papers and it is good. And I thought that in America there was no problem to import a French car from the year 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
