..and another one that isn't. M163 PRX

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.

Let's see what happens with M163 PRX.

It looks pretty tidy.

Will, I'll tell you what's happening with it- absolutely nothing!

It's been on Ebay for months and was originally posted up for £995 IIRC.
Perhaps the base spec is harming its chances?

I wonder if it's fear. I'm willing to bet that someone in the market for an XM would rather pay a four-figure sum thinking that'll improve their chances of getting a good one. Below a grand, I think the 'banger' brigade are too scared of complicated problems.

I don't think there are many people willing to pay very much at all, buying XMs seems to have become a specialist niche market. I have a quite reasonable 2.1 estate in the field which I am hoping one day to put back on the road but the more time elapses the less likely it becomes. It needs a new windscreen for the MOT otherwise it fairly good apart from some rust round the wheel arches. I would be prepared to do the work and sell it on at cost + scrap value and MOT but I doubt that anyone would want to buy it.

I think you might be surprised for a 2.1 manual estate.

I take it's a Series 2.

Just spotted that on Ebay. Got some battle scars though. Not too far from where I live so might take a look if I get time.
1995 XM 2.1 auto hatchback RP 6717. Sold on for spares or repair.
1992 Rover 216 GTi twincam 16v 130 bhp. Unbreakable mechanicals, bodywork - less so.

2015 - Still waiting for the hover conversion kit but do wear two neckties at same time.
