Looks good to me, one of the best colours for the Xm in my opinion.
High miles but im sure its ready for a lot more, interior looks good and it has a good spec with the climate etc. Dont like the wheels, but they can always be changed. Quite a bit of tax and MOT remaining and a lot of car for £700! Id buy it. Are you looking to buy or putting it up for people to see?

Looking to buy. I may go and have a look at it this week-end if I get a chance as it's only 10 miles from me. The only thing that bothers me is that is that his location doesn't exist! Farndon does but not Farndon Hays - unless they have re-named part of it!

Looks like a genuine and reasonably clean car, and for £700 looks like a fair price too....................could certainly do a lot worse judging by whats been on ebay recently.
So are you going to treat yourself then? D -------------------- 92 xm 20i prestige auto (modified)R.P 5678

Yes go and have a look, looks like a good one. I wouldnt mind that, but i wont bid if your interested.
I hope that brick at the back wheels isnt because its handbrake doesnt work, or maybe the car is not in use at the moment. Still, its one of the few Xms ive seen with a good amount of tax and test left on it! -------------------- 1995 'N' XM 2.1TD VSX Manual Estate, magenta red - 62K miles

Saw the brick and i cant see if the parking brake is on in the photo's but even if a cables gone it should be a reasonably cheap fix and a good point to haggle on if its not sold through ebay.
Good luck with it anyway D -------------------- 92 xm 20i prestige auto (modified)R.P 5678

The hand pull leaver is off so the handbrake must be off. It may just be he doesnt want the brakes sticking.

Hi Bitontheside
He will have upwards of 30 watchers on ebay (almost all ebay XM's have a lot of gawpers) and he will think they are all going to bid on the last day so you may have to go up a bit to get him to sell early. I got as far as checking on the location and found the same problem as you. I thought from the description that it was potentially a very good car. John -------------------- An interest in 2.5TD's.

I've been in touch with him via ebay but he won't be in all week-end and I have no chance of looking at it next week. Citroenmad - if you can get over there next week be my guest!
