Going to buy a XM need some advice!

[Anttugal]

Hello all!

I'm from Portugal. Currently I have a Xantia 2.1 TD, with 286.000km (runs well, needs a few service). But I eager to get a XM!

I have seen a couple of them for sale and reached out for 2, not in the greatest conditions, but still is a XM!

One of them is a 2.0 TCT (93') LPG, with 175.000km, not well, leaking water from the heater matrix, needs a few paint, etc.

And a 2.1 Turbo Diesel (94') with 345.000km, headgasket gone, needs a deep repair.
The TCT is out for 800€ (+/- 500 pounds) and the 2.1TD 500€ (300 pounds or so).

Which one to buy?

Hi and a warm welcome to the Forum. My recommendation would be the 2.0 tct mainly because I have owned and enjoyed several. The heater matrix replacement is not a big job and especially on a lhd car. There are a lot of diesel enthusiasts on here who will probably argue otherwise!! Regards, Matthew T.
