more details please!

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.

Latest addition to cars for sale on Ebay is sketchy in the extreme! Is it manual? Why has it got different wheels? etc. etc,

I doubt its manual, if it is its very rare as the last batch of manuals were registered in Jan '96 and I have three of them, well two and a half. It will also probably have a EPIC electronic pump which are not good news, not when they go wrong anyway, and it will have no glove box as the passengers side airbag is where that should be - otherwise I would be interested, I might email him though.

I despair when people sell cars on e-bay, why don't the wash them, clean all their crap out of the interiors, and sort out all those silly little niggles that they have, and can do easily, (I dunno, side lamp is blown. Change the damn bulb!)

Unless he's just updated it in the past hour it says auto in the title of the auction!
Notice the mismatching front alloy - seems to be a mix'n match! Aren't the rears
off a Volvo? Is he actually saying he's in two minds to break it? :roll:

Rear lights are going to be the wires broken at the tailgate, i dont think £500 is too bad, but i wouldnt want mismatched wheels for that, and a bit of T+T wouldnt go a mis, £500 for a car with no mot :shock: i want whatever he's taking :)

Does he really want to sell it I wonder - just looking to see what the bids get to!

He won't be getting a bid from me, price too high for a car with no MOT and 150k on the clock and auto. :(

The auto wouldnt worry me but tbh, no m.o.t means scrap value, i dont care if the guy had wings and a haylo, its just not worth the risk without a fresh ticket...........bots could be right, he may want it for parts but if it sells for £500+ quid then its worth selling, time will tell i guess but i cant see it somehow................do you ever wonder if the cars we all take the pee out of actualy sell, and then what if the new owner tuns up here :oops:
