Just wanted to say hello to everyone , I've had plenty of Citroens in the past and currently own a Zx16v , I maybe very tempted in the near future for an Xm . ( I wish I'd never gone in Chris , citroenmads prestige( now Jims ) at Wetherby)
Thanks , Mark

Hello Mark, from a zx to xm..don't do any more test drives! Listen to all the things that can go wrong on the xm and then - just buy one! Or else stay happy with your ZX! Good luck with the temptation issues!

Just keep looking out for a good one Mark, one will turn up just when you least expect it.
Rust underneath is the only real concern, everything else is fixable fairly readily, depending on your skill and determination levels.
A ZX is a nice car under a bland body. We ran a fleet of them and found them to be really tough...I mean really tough.

Welcome to the XM club Mark
I thought you would have been on here sooner!
Go on, get an XM. An estate would do as a nice replacement to your Doblo
Your ZX is very nice though, im very impressed with its interior. Certainly a car to hang on to.

Hi Mark, go on get an XM, they're nearly as nice as a BX. p.s. cheers for the roof bars you gave me at Wetherby.

Hi Mark, great to see you on here
All I can say is what everyone else has said. Go and get an XM as soon as you can. The itch needs to be scratched
I warn you, you'll end up like me. Devoted to the thing
Get Chris to vet one for you as there's a lot to check and be aware of...

Thanks for the warm welcome , I'll keep popping in from time to time . I wouldn't really want to part with the Zx unless it was something REALLY special .

Hellooo, I recognise that forum iD from somewhere!
So what particular Xm variety get's you all excited then?
I guess REALLY special means a v6 manual?

Keep the ZX Mark! Even I couldn't resits a mint low mileage ZX a few months ago!
But do get a Xm. 2,5 Estates make good vans! John will be on soon to share his experiences!
