Selling off one (or bits

) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Crazy bidding as you say TE! Good to see you here by the way!

I'd say that price is unlikely to go further having met the reserve
but some guys out there may have the hots for it!!
So. Is the current 40k on top of the 100ish!?
Bargain then!

No, 40 on top of the original 100.
Caveat emporor (or something similar in Latin!)

Most XM's still look almost new at 200k if they have been kept clean, I dont know what the upholstery is made of but I don't know of anything that lasts like it, presumably this one is leather, that seems to wear well too.

Yes.
What makes the business all the more fishy is that the seller has been revising his auction item almost every day but has failed either to mention the car's true mileage or fix the mileage on the item specifics which still read '4090' and that's also what shows up in search results.
To echo what Tony said, with any XM the devil is in the details and they simply ain't there.
P.S. Hello

Don't like leather. Too fond of the soft (and refreshingly unmotorised) fabric!

Whoops!

Got my wires crossed there earlier and was out of mobile signal for ages
on a journey and my edit sat mocking me for a while not straightening my nonsense posting!!

Agree: on a day like today with the temperature ramped up you could succumb to heat exhaustion getting
into a car all leathered up!! Cloth is far nicer even if the chocolate drops off the icecream melt into it...

You're not kidding, my S1 with the Darth Vader / Henry Ford interior pack is baking me to death in this weather!
