The Plus
In many ways, the Citroën Saxo is the quintessential 90s city car. It was a car that met a need for people of all types, from budding drivers in their 'sporty' VTR and VTS versions to super-economists who raved about the 3 litres/100 km of the 1.5 diesel.
For young and old alike, it was a car that had a lot to offer: cheap and fun to drive, but also comfortable and spacious, with a choice of three or five doors and a typically French character - a supple ride, coupled with surprising levels of grip.
It's no surprise, then, that the Saxo was Citroën's best-selling model from 1997 to 2003, evoking many nostalgic memories today among those of a certain age. And if you're reading this, you're probably one of them.
What we have here is a stunning Saxo - the most sought-after of them all. It's a 1.6 16v VTS - a real bomb on wheels - from late production and presented in remarkably well-preserved and unmodified condition. VTSs this original and well-preserved are very rare cars these days, making this a real find.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
