2.5TD Exclusive

Post by Dieselman » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:49 pm

Spotted on ebay. This did look quite a nice car at CXM. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0543954572

He must be mad to sell it after spending all that money on it, which in itself doesn't speak volumes for WHM pre sale prep.

Also, you should live up to your forum username, and get the other Diesel XM. :D

You're not helping Robert.

I have to say though, that picture of all three side on makes me think I'm doing the right thing having alloy wheels and S1 do look a little better..

Well, perhaps it would be a good idea to get a S2 since you haven't owned one before.

Personally, I really liked the 2.5. I admire John for his 2.5 dedication, he has more patience than I have. It is a great engine, and suits the Xm very well.

I'm being a miser and want the fuel economy of the 2.1. I already have one 3 litre TD, so can get my speed fix from that.

A 2.5 would fit nicely between the 2.1 and the 3.0...

I thought it looks like a good car. Might even consider it as a replacement for my 2.1.

Trouble is, he has chucked a lot of money at it, so I suspect he will want it to go for more than I'd be willing to pay (I'm a bit tight when it comes to buying XMs, I remember when you could get them for pennies...)
