    Mike,
    What are the best web sites in France to find reasonably priced DS cars?
    Thanks!😊

    I don't know when this was made but you're looking at having to pay considerably more than this for a DS now. Good examples are going for 30 + grand.

      This is a D Super 5, so not worth as much as fully fledged Ds, but agreed it's ridiculously cheap by today's standards.

    As a kid back then, I always hated the looks of these cars. They looked more like a vacuum cleaner than a car.
    I always thought they should have a "Hoover" or "Kirby" nameplate somewhere on the body and a long hose attached to it's tailpipe!..... ;-)

  • @rafthejaf8789
    @rafthejaf8789 4 года назад +4

    It wasn't nicknamed "The Godess", that was its name. It's very amusing to watch the silly Englishman trying to communicate in French by talking like a five year old! 😅 What he should have mentioned is the classic car import tax. I bought a DS in a French village for £700 but then got hit for about a £1000 tax when I applied to register it in the UK. I nearly broke down and cried when the official in the tax office told me that. He took pity on me and reduced down to £600 but remember the import tax if you buy one abroad. I sold mine for £3400 in London but I've always regretted getting rid of it! 😭

    • @ObsoleteOddity
      @ObsoleteOddity 3 года назад +1

      There was no need to be an arse about it - some people tend to simplify their manner and use sounds and hand signals when there is a communication barrier. There's nothing silly about.
      £1000 is very hefty, but £700 of a DS is a very good price if it wasn't a in 'barn find' condition.

    Citroen, even the name was extraterrestial. Very strange modern car.

    • @jfrancobelge
      @jfrancobelge Год назад

      In French DS is pronounced the same as the word "déesse" which means "goddess". I think Citroën then chose these initials on purpose.

    • @leneanderthalien
      @leneanderthalien 3 года назад

      même pour une 2cv il ne faut pas être trop fauché: il s'agit de voitures anciennes qui ont beaucoup servi, il y a donc généralement beaucoup de travail dessus et de pièces à changer ou à rénover...Pour ma 2cv par exemple, sa restauration que j'ai entièrement faite moi-même (avec remplacement du châssis par un neuf galvanisé et des planchers, réparation de la caisse et remise à neuf du moteur et de la boîte), m'a coûté plus de 7000€, majoritairement des pièces ...

  • @markkuhonkala7240
    @markkuhonkala7240 2 года назад

    Of course in hindsight, this is the cheaper ID aka D Super 5 model, not the real DS. Still, a bargain for the condition. Actual DS's fetch bigger prices, still.

      @@ragazzi25 You'll notice that on virtually every YT video about the DS, the comment at the bottom of the page is one by a muppet who felt compelled to rush in to say just about the same thing: "This car is so ugly." I'm wondering what there is about the DS that triggers this kind of people. 🤣
