Anyone buy this?

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Didn't see that one - but it was probably auto. :(

It was a manual!

I spoted it yesterday morning, and went back on this morning and it had the big sold stamp across it.

In THIS link shows it being advertised at £850
So if Robert 'didn't have his Anorak on' at the time of first spotting it to record the price ?
There we have it ! to put onto the data-base he keep's ;)

Thanks XMX,

I'll have to take a snap shot of that. I wasn't expecting it to be sold so quickly!

It was at the dry cleaners having fresh creases steam pressed in XMX!! OOPS :lol:
- sorry guys, I was only kidding before but the comment I made has 'legs' unfortunately... :oops:

The only way to know any value of something you want to buy is a very careful watch
of the market; that save it from being scrapped WsM 2.1WILL make £460, mark my words.
Especially as both Peter or I would've bought it in far lower if the original auction had run
as leather interior with spares car and no pics... :roll: :lol:

I think the £450 mark as well. However there haven't been many for sale lately, and people might be getting desperate to buy one, and the prices being inflated up. That 204k mile 2.5 TD making over £850 the third time it was listed for sale for example.
