Hmm, it had to go at some point, it never gets used and is taking up valuable space, something have to go as we have cars everywhere at the moment.

There has been an awful lot of interest, it might be gone tomorrow. Two people are wanting to come and see it and more people are very interested if it doesnt sell tomorrow.

Still, its been nice to have a Xm diesel and an estate at that.

We have done quite a bit of work to this estate now, its body is now all one colour and looking fantastic, you might remember it was a few shades when we got it.

The white hatch remains ... Which should be getting more use as it will be easier to get out. Need to do a few bits and pieces with that now too.

Good luck with the sale, if I was in the market for a big XM manual diesel estate, that would have been sitting on my driveway already!

Its an awful lot of car for the money. I hope it goes to a good home.

Sorry you are selling that, I have coveted it since you got it :( I would like it myself but its out of my price range. I have one that colour but its done nearly five times the mileage of yours :o shows what yours should be good for though. I hope it goes to an appreciative home.

Good luck with the sale, hope it goes to a good home, by the sounds of it the car is certainly creating a fair bit of interest.

Thanks, i think its well priced given the car it is, it really is a very nice example.

Far too nice for the person who came to see it tonight! So its still here, in no hurry to sell, so if it goes it goes, but could really do with the room.

It will only be going to someone who seems as though they will cherish it and look after it. Not use it as a mud plugging 4x4! :shock:

Seems strange that someone is looking at a more expensively priced XM and wants to use it as a general hack. There are lots of much cheaper ones to buy for that duty.

Is it possible that your assesment of them isn't correct?

It would make a good daily hack as well. Manual box, and easily another 150 k miles in it without much trouble.
