Hi Guys, join me as we take a look around one of my latest part exchanges. Its a old Citroen Picasso that's in need of a clean up but shows some protentional, is this car worth saving from the scrap yard ?

I used one as a taxi, the older passengers loved it, easier just to slide into. Was a great car, never went wrong, did over 300k in mine.
Definitely worth saving.
Brilliant cars - just so useful, comfortable ride, could use it as an office with tables on back of seats and on folding down rear centre one, could stretch out when parked, with dash gearlever and no centre console enabling easy access into the back, could use it as a van with rear seats removed and could use it as a bed.....which I did many times when working away! Bought for £500 - I took it up to nearly 300,000 miles, 2.0 diesel engine still fine, just needed new sills.
I'd have another in a flash - much better car than it's successor!
I’ve run one of these for six years. 2.0 hdi now on 153,000. Brilliant car.
I agree with u Lee that the picasso is defo worth getting the sills smoothed over and passenger side wing re painted...Defo money to make on it and keep a good car on the road at the same time...Interested to see it when it's all done...Fantastic video as ever m8 and keep up the great work at " The Car Pitch "...👍🏻👏🏻😉👏🏻
Thanks neil 👍👍👍👍
I’d just ring the breakers and get a wing in colour for peanuts and smarten the rest of it up. It will look a million times better and it’s well worth doing. I think that’s £1495 in my opinion but you know what you’re doing
Previous owner RONNY PICKERING?
🤣
Who? Who? 😂😂😂
@@carukchannel had to be said sorry 😂
Do you know who i am!!!! 😂😂
Who’s he 👊👊
There’s a loyal following for these - with the wing and sills done I reckon you’ll do £1495 on that easy
FWIW there's a 500,000 mile Picasso called Pass The Picasso being passed on amongst various TH-camrs. It's just had sill welding (using a cut up old BX door panel) and it's quite a complicated job. For such a late model somebody will want your one. Maybe give the previous owner a drink out of it as goodwill/encourage him to buy from you again. Always good to know what happens in the end - many similar TH-camrs show new stock and we never hear about if/when it sells.
Looks like an honest car that someone has tried their best to keep up with the maintenance to keep it running. At the price point you are thinking it will have a cracking second life. Nice find. Dave Birmingham
Thanks david, I hope it tidy's up well will see in the part 2 thanks for watching
I'm glad you're promoting sites like vehicle score, far better than many who keep promoting 30 pound hpi checks which I wont name.
Definitely the right decision Lee , good old bus these with at least a couple of years left in it .
Only this channel could make a £250 Citroen compulsive viewing. Bravo!
😁 Thanks sausage
Just love this channel for the straightforward knowledge on reasonable used cars. I also appreciate that Lee is letting us know about equipment or car reports that would make buying the cars safer. He's not promoting a dodgy title, computer game, or kitchen knives - just things every second-hand car buyer needs. That and Lee's patter makes me enjoy his videos.
Keep them coming Lee.
For £1295 that would make a very useful car for many people, from families on a budget to jobbing tradespeople.
I thought so too, will see what it comes up like in the part 2, thanks for watching shep
@@carukchannel Get the wing sorted and the sills blacked and it will be fine :)
Lee, a very long time ago, I used to sell Citroen. Completely agree with you that's the old engine was the best ..👍
Thanks adrian 👍
Hubnut had one with 500k on the clock, original engine and gearbox!! Very reliable cars! This car has definitely been looked after by the previous owner. Painting the wing and tidying up the sills will transform the old girl 💪👍 gotta be worth £1495 all day long with only 78k on the clock
The Desire steering wheel is supposed to be real leather and yours has gone gunky, sticky & 'melted' like ours did, we got another Leather one from an Exclusive at a Breakers
I bought in a cheap corsa, 250 quid, guy had just done a log book loan and stuffed it into me, only came to light when finance guys started hassling the new owner, I didn't check with it being a cheapie.
Great show as always.. It is nice to know that you show such passion to get these cars done up and sold and getting them looking right. I love old cars because some of the engines in certain models are bullet bulletproof. Keep up the great work..
Same engine C5 . Had 140 thousand when i bought it and 195 when i sold it on . Never owed me a penny apart from ridiculous priced headlight bulbs but thats another story lol
I bought a Xantia 1.9 td in 2001 it was 5 years old with 65000 miles on the clock for £2600 i had it for 17 years and it had 305000 miles on it when i scrapped it the engine and gearbox were still going strong it had 1 clutch at 265000 miles but the hydraulic suspension died and was beyond repair .Then 5 years ago i bought a xsara picasso 54 reg for £800 with 125000 on the clock it is the same as the one here 2.0 hdi same colour just a 54 reg it now has 176000 on the clock and still going strong. I Take the rear seats on for trips to the tip and on holiday when theres only 2 of us .Ive had the sills repaired due to rust apart from that its been brilliant i would never have chosen Citroens but they have served me well for 22 years.
Glad to hear and many others have done the same, great workhorse 👍👍
4:37 the previous owner of my dads 09 fiesta did the same thing on the rear bumper
Definitely worth saving 😊. To many decent car end up at the scrapyard. People seem to have a real downer on older cars .😢They can be better than some of the modern over complicated rubbish. Friend has a 05 1.9 jtd Fiat Stilo. Family are nagging her to change it . Its solid underneath had a good look when took it to get a tyre changed for her and done less than 100000. Told her to keep it 😊
Had 3 of these! the 2.0 and the 1.6. All excellent diesel lworkhorses. Only thing major I ever had done was a clutch when the release bearing failed spectacularly on one of them. I remember the 1.6 was particularly good round town on fuel too. Great for holidays as you can get tons of stuff in the boot!
I had one of these back in the day and it was a nice car. Had occasion at the time to make many trips from Yorkshire to Isle of Bute Scotland and it was lovely on the Motorway too. Only issue on mine was it used to crunch a little into second gear. This would make a brilliant car for the school run or someone with a family, the interior is great.
looks a worthwhile plan - your material is always a good watch
Hi Lee, plenty of life left in it, good call. Love this channel. 24:40
Keep up the good work Lee ,my neighbour has a little peugeot that's up for grabs I've given her your number the body work is
very tidy think it's failed on tyres and a few small fixes would make a tidy car 206 cc 2005
Hi Lee I've been watching all your videos for awhile now n love them all n I even love these old citreons I currently have a Nissan almera 1.5 S petrol keep up good work
Mark
It’s worth fixing up id stick it up for £1995 it’s a 2.0 diesel that’s barely even run in. I’d pay that money for it if the wing and sills were sorted
So much good honest and informative advice again Lee, and it's appreciated. I'm finding your channel a godsend from a buyer's angle, and I'd almost discounted the Picasso after viewing another vlogger's opinion of them (no names no pack drill). But your Picasso will surely be an attractive proposition when tidied up. I'll have to get down to Crewe before very long! Keep up the good work lad.
The only vlogger you speak of definitely has a thing against the Picasso
Totally agree about getting the work done......I like these though never owned one....my sort of price range for a second car just to go backwards and forwards to work and bits and bobs.....got to sell the Rover first
Brilliant cars - definitely worth saving. Sold litterly thousands of them and they are a very tough old bus. I could get another decades worth of use out of this example. There are so many cars that are truly overrated for their so called reliability and these Picasso's fall nicely below the radar if you can find a decent unabused example like this one is.
Great cars those Lee, glad you are saving it. Had two in the past and were mega reliable and comfy on a run. 👍
I drove one of these, same colour, hired for my by my boss do I drove it manchester from essex. Very smooth drive, loved those centre arm rests.
Would probably need a timing chain / belt?
I spent a summer in a Picasso doing government average speed road surveys, 3,000 miles a week it never let me down and really practical in the back... The only one we lost was one plank of an operator following a bus and getting a bollard rise up into the engine.
Once you get used to the central digital speedo thingy it's an easy drive.
what a away to write off a car 😂
Great detailed video, keep more like these videos coming
Thanks, will do!
Drove my cousin's one 15 years ago for a weekend, absolutely loved it, and I am not a fan of Citroen or any french made cars tbh. But it was and still is a memorable drive. Wanted one back then, but I reckon you are on to a winner there Lee. Surprised the seller let it go with the amount he put into it and the low mileage, but have been there myself, threw a couple of grand into my fiesta over a couple of years, was just one thing after another, then you get one tiny wee mechanical issue and I threw my dummy out the pram and got rid.
Well done lee , there the the best ones when you take a px in and its it good to go again ,just keeps the ball rolling , av just took a Hyundai amica automatic in done 27k , little jem , think they will be que for it lol,, , ps how the truck bed doing you need to do a quick updat on the truck lol
Another great vid and what a decent buy! I've never been a fan of these myself, we always fail them on sills, always! But people let them get so bad that they need entire front to rear on both sides which then is totally uneconomical and they get chucked, injectors are also quite common we've found anyway, at 78k miles you can't go wrong! Looks like a decent spec with leccy windows & velour seats!
Its a peach 😁 Yes welded many of these up over the years. its a shame when they get like this as they get patched up by garages and make them luck scruffy
Hi Lee. That Picasso isn't bad. Good colour. Nice wheel rims. Clean intior. It's a perfect run around for someone. New clutch. I would get rid of it to one of your Mate's and get a little Profit out of it. It's up to you how far you want to go with it bro. Great Video again Lee. I'm glad it's sound underneath. Nice one. Chat soon 😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮
Thanks Liam 👍
Lovely. The old Xsara Picc. Love sell one. Max one a year these days
id smarten it up for sure good cheap family transport for a few years there mate!!!
Look for pass the picasso on TH-cam.It’s a gold 2003 sx model and it’s done well over 500,000 miles and still going strong.
Save it Lee. Honest old bus deserves a second chance especially given its been looked after. Ideal cheapy for someone 👍
looking forward to the progress of this car
Lee, I have 100% confidence in your judgement. Of course you've made the right decision. She'll fly out the door.
Best car on the road for the money
I wouldn’t of chopped that in for the Dacia . But happy days for you mate
The old boy loved that dacia 😂
I was thinking that very thing, not a fan of French but that's not the point, that's in great condition and will run cheaply for years.
I'm glad you are giving it another lease of life, as you say that's got plenty mileage left in it yet.
I had a mate once who I gave a lift to pick up a Picasso and on the B road on the way back I couldn't keep up with him! I was in a Clio 172😅
thanks Split pin
get some poxy on the gearynob,schultz the sills and lacquer the wing with a rattle can and 999 it,its ideal as a parcel delivery,if it passes an mot with no cost
ok watched to the end 1095 or if localy they like 1295 hit the button
Well worth doing up Lee , will make a car 👍
I'm driving a Picasso exclusive no less on a 03 plate. Unfortunately it's looking it's age now but the owd bugger won't die. I'm quite fond of it to be honest. I'll have to see how it goes on in October when it's mot is due. Regards Jim.
Exclusive 💪 thanks for watching jim
I’m a new subscriber but been watching for a while, Great channel & content 👍
Thanks for subbing
Yeah Lee Did They Not Suffer From Top Of Rear Inner Tyre Contact With Wheel Arch Against Lining
Yes the axles used to go wonky on them
Another great video. 👍
As a Trade Plate Driver i delivered plenty of these Xsara Picassos, as they were very popular with the rental companies. The Diesels were more of a pleasure to drive than the Petrols because they were more robust, and the satisfaction of watching the bars on the fuel gauge disappear every 50 miles was an extra joy. They were to be discontinued in the late 2000s, but got a few years extra reprieve due to their popularity, and their production ran in tandem with the new C4 Picasso. This is obviously one of the last ones, and possibly the most Picasso-ist of them all. That nearside wing paint job is definitely in harmony with the great man's quirky artwork! 🎨🖌️
Sound as a pound, enjoyable vid,I bet that it will look a nice
Little peach after looking forward to part two,Bill.
Lee if i had taken that little Picasso in part exchange i would definitely be making more smarter and retailing it. Its a no brainer mate. 👍🙂👍 keep it cheap and make em sweet. Its the name of the game Lee my friend 😉
Smashing car these Citroen's I had a 2000 X reg petrol ran it for two years and sold it for a profit ...the only car that I have "made " money on .....well done for saving it 😊😊😊😊
Well worth saving Lee, looks like a real good car
Loved the Pic back in the day - great for families on a budget.
Think it’s brilliant car. Love it. Been looked after most definitely.
Looking forward to the next video on this one
I bought an ex motability 02 three year old one from bca preston. Dull as. But as a family car it was faultless in four years, it needed an indicator stalk. That was it.
Lot to be said in that derek, that car did its job for you 👍
Mot history shows sills were done for last mot so not long done, albeit badly, but done.
As others have said, a tidy up of the sills, and and front wing touched up and you have a low mileage diesel load carrier car/van, id even consider it myself if Lee says "Gary come on down the price is right" 😁
Nice one Lee you got to save it if i was after a car I wud buy that new clutch low mileage no Brainer flip I reck £1495 all day long 🙂🎥🔧✌️
Worked for a parcel company who employed last mile drivers with own transport. The guys i knew would bite your hand off for that Picasso . History , condition and dual usage for low car tax .
I totally respect that UK market is one of a kind, but in some markets 100k miles is when the vehicle enters the second hand car market, where in the UK it's seen as closer to the end of it's life.
Thanks again fella
I’d gladly use that as Is as a van for moving stock about 😃
I had a 1.6 petrol - brilliant car. did 36k miles in just over 12 months taking and fetching my daughter to Uni - 35 mpg and a great car. It sprang an oil leak from the rocker cover and for some reason I shat the bed and traded it for a Scenic with 90k miles ( the Citroen had just clocked over 100k ) - got 100 quid against a 900 quid car - that car lasted 3 more years I should have never have got rid- however the Scenic was a good car too - got written off by some elderly parker in a Lidl car park
Nice little profit in that car👍
I thought if you sorted all the problems, painted the wing and with a new mot it would be worth more than you were mentioning. That 18kg shopping cart would hold a lot of onions and peas 😂
It maybe worth 1495 at a push will see how it comes out when done (y)
That basket in the back, was it an optional extra LOL :)
Yet another cracking vidio Lee, that looks like it's got a few years left in it and will make a good run around for someone. Now I have asked other car dealers on TH-cam one thing and not one has replayed so I'm asking you..... Why is it so important to have TWO keys for the car when you can only ever use one... Is it so the car dealer can knock you on px price or just something dealers say. One car one key that's all you need it should not affect the price... 👍👍
My parents used to have this car and it was excellent.
That is not a scrapper. Well looked after and a few quid spent will give someone a decent motor at a good price. You do love a bit of free fuel Lee. I'm sure you would siphon off every drop if you could 😉
Too good to scrap and will make a nice cheap runaround for somebody.
Nice work mate. Can I ask which software you use to manage the VaT margin reporting for invoicing and returns. Been selling a few and getting to level where need to register for VAT
👌👌Great Stuff Lee👌👌
Thanks 👍
Lee, not having a go by any means....lose the flip-flops 😅. Your a professional.
Nice little motor, should look great with the wing and sills sorted.
Great Taxi
There is a Picasso doing the rounds on you tube with the likes of Hubnut and others with over 500,000 miles on it. Your one will make a good reliable car for a family on a budget. I have a 2001 Passat owned since 2005 now with 192,000 miles only put a clutch in it at 185,000 still has the factory exhaust.
I would just take some black rust paint and paint it all over. or maybe dark blue rust paint.
Got to be worth saving with the history and mileage, someone will buy it as a second car or kid carrier for mother on the school run 12months MOT £1295 shouldn't take too much selling.
Picasso nice car for the age, be a good runner for a few more years yet. 👍
Hope so, was not expecting such a great driving car for the age of it.
Defiantly worth doing, loads of life left in it👍🏻
Hi lee,it's john from Gibraltar,this vehicle is worth spending a few hundred quid in order to bring it up to standard given its condition and past service history. This translates into a greater profit when you sell it.
Very good cars I want one !
Watching you reminds me of bank of dave. Is he your brother. 😂🤣
I'm not a fan of French, Xsara Picasso's or diesel at all but (touches wood) if I wrote my Panda off tomorrow and I needed a car quick and saw this at that retail price, even though it's bigger than I need, it would have a sold card in it within 2 minutes after the test drive. That is a no brainer cheap car.
ive had 5 of these cars there amazing i even mooved house with one of the picasso. i did have a rare auto picasso loved thet one but was written off by a drunk driver. you will do well with that through the trade. theres some half decent ones still on the road good trade in
thanks Andy, I forgot about the 2.0 auto petrol, they drove well.
@@carukchannel yeah i found it comfy compared to the 5 speed. glad to see a decent one again i never had one that need sills but on one the cambelt went tits up so i got another picasso so i had parts shed. cheers
lee it's pronounced zara not X SARA :)
that shopping cart be handy for a car boot sale
Worth spending a few quid for decent profit. There is a half a million mile Picasso featured most recently on UpNDown channel.
Love your pleasure in the shopping trolley 😂
The little things in life 😁
Save the car Lee. Well worth the time and effort
Thats a nice example that the rear badges are missing tho
NIce car mate, well worth £1000-00
