Car and Classic XM Estate for sale...

Post by Betweenthewheels » Wed Aug 28, 2024 3:14 pm

.....1996 Silver with reg N919 UEW.

Does anyone have any info on this car apart from what's on the ad?
I'm currently Citroen-less (for the first time in 20 years) and am considering putting a bid in for this.
Did it belong to a CCC member by any chance?

Cheers

It looks like a very presentable early S2 estate. In my experience, early S2 seem to be more corrosion resistant than later ones and spec is slightly better.
It appears to have long term been a Kent car, so no salted roads to contend with, it was previously sold here: https://percivalmotorco.co.uk/96_Citroen_Xm_Vsx_21_Td/

I'm curious to why it had a new registered keeper two weeks ago, but has had a new MOT and good scrub up since then.

I'm sure this was a member on here's car, but can't find it. It was in nice condition and he was taking steps to improve it to being immaculate.

At 129k miles, I would want to ensure the auto gearbox was functioning perfectly and check the history of Atf changes. It's an Ate engine with Bosch pump, so robust in that area.

Edit:
Found it. Looks like the same owner. viewtopic.php?f=22&t=10394

Thanks for that Dieselman - very helpful to look back at the 2022 posts. Great to see an enthusiastic owner as this one has been sourcing parts/fixing gremlins. Shame the sunroof is still sealed (one hopes) :-)
Might throw in a bid depending on the price.
Thanks again.
