Oh God, another auto on ebay - yawn!

May have considered it to try out a 16v motor had it been a manual. But heyho:

1998 CITROEN XM VSX 16V AUTO GREEN



http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1984-CITROEN-CX-2 ... 0354475747

1998 CITROEN XM VSX, TAKEN IN P/X, HAS MOT UNTIL APRIL 2010 NO TAX, AUTOMATIC WITH SPORTS MODE.

HAS ALL THE MOD CONS, FULL LEATHER SEATS (REAR MIDDLE SEAT NEEDS REPAIRING/REPLACING, DUE TO PREVIOUS OWNER LOSING WEDDING RING DOWN BACK OF SEAT).ELECTRIC SEATS, WINDOWS, CENTRAL LOCKING ETC, LIST IS TOO LONG TO NAME EVERYTHING.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT NEED REPAIRING/ REPLACING, THE CABLES ON THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS AT THE FRONT ARE BROKEN, AND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEATING/AIRCON CONTROL PANEL, IT IS BELIEVED THAT IT IS JUST A FUSE OR RELAY BLOWN, JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO SORT OUT THESE LITTLE PROBLEMS. ALSO THE ABS LIGHT IS ON BUT IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE ABOVE PROBLEM OF FUSE/RELAY.

OVER THE YEARS IT HAS HAD APPROX. £5000 SPENT ON IT IN SERVICING, REPLACEMENT SPHERES ETC. HAVE MANY RECEIPTS TO PROVE MONEY SPENT.

UK BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE, YOU ARE BIDDING TO BUY NOT TO VIEW. £50 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT TO BE PAID WITHIN 24HRS OF AUCTION ENDING AND THE REMAINING TO BE PAID IN CASH AT COLLECTION WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING.

The mind boggles - what were they doing to lose a wedding ring down the back seat
- and why couldn't they just fold the seat to get under the squab rather than destroy it!?

Wouldnt be to my liking, too many miles for a petrol and looks a little rough around the edges.

Shouldnt this have headlamp washers being a VSX, or is this after the time when VSX cars no longer came fitted with them?

Nice to have optional leather seats though, but they should realy learn how they fold! Shame the seats are not good, as Dave could have bought this to get a nice set of leathers!

Well spotted Chris! The perils of cut and paste!

I had been flipping between tabs checking the previous auction of that Cx a week or
so back and wondered if it had sold or not as it's re appeared again on ebay. Obviously
got my wires crossed.

Mind, if anyone is keen on the Cx, he's not a million miles away and I do have a long
working relationship with them to give it the n'th degree stem to stern check up for
any prospective buyer here on the forum.

Indeed it is a shame! and a weird way to destroy a seat!
,i really wish people would put pictures of the interior on the listings!
