As posting title spotted on E-BAY shame its an Auto though !

Nice low miles, 31K and only 1 owner or 1 previous owner (Its a bit difficult to decipher from the E-Bay Sellers description as the Title box is in conflict with the write-up) :roll:
Also has Air-con 8-) but no photo shots to show the digital control panel, so maybe worth asking the question to be sure its not got the rotary knobs before bidding :!:

However this could make a nice XM for someone if the price is reasonably once the battle scars are tended to and may be worth a lot more once its been thro' a body-shop to sort the O/S/f wing, rear N/S and O/S panels :!:
I'm not sure whats going off with the lower/middle bottom edge of the boot lid below the number plate, any offers :?:

So get in quick before WHM get hold of it and load the price up in a month or two, after sorting it out/re-advertising with the usual 'Hard to find, one owner in this condition with such low mileage' Blah ,Blah etc. :lol: :lol:

The thing looks like it has had a hard time, as long as the mechanicals and interior don't reflect the exterior condition.

But it will make a nice car by the look of things.

A couple of dents which can be sorted without replacing body panels. She looks a beauty. A rare chance to get hold of a low mileage XM :) I'm watching the bidding :P

Hi Gents

Well im not as optimistic as you all seem to be, firstly mileage, some of the biggest dogs ive owned have been low miles older cars, not being used kills any car and unless its been garaged all its life the low miles would put me off, ok looking at the dash with the 30000 staring back at you does give that warm fuzzy feeling but it wouldnt influence my purchase, i would want to know it had not been used daily to do a 3 mile run because if it has that car has had a nasty life.
Secondly the bodywork, looking hard the front wing is mangled right on the body line so its best off with a new panel there and with visable damage to the nose cone corner plus both rear quarters badly dented its not looking good so far, then there is the bad damage to the tailgate and what looks like a cracked rear bumper which would tie in with the tailgate damage then the other damage you cant see on other panels as a result of all these impacts.
Of course im wrong because with 9 bidders taking the current price to over £500 it looks like we could see this going for £700+ no trouble.............i would be waiting for something that hadnt indulged in so much contact sport though myself :)
