But not so rare as you can´t get parts without phoning twenty mechanics in an afternoon. I had to do this to source some ABS sensors!
Would we be happier if XMs were as common as, say, W-124 Mercedes? That would a nicer status. Not common but not wierdly rare. I would prefer that.
As it is though increasingly people stop me in the street and say what a nice car the XM is. That´s pleasant. The people in their early 20s are especially impressed as they usually have never seen one before.

The thing with Mercedes is they still support their old models... where as Citroen start closing support down when cars pass ten years old..


the French shoot themselves in the foot.. they should support the older cars but they don't want to..

hence the spares dwindle..

Hi Dman, a significant attrition rate, only a few years left it seems, will have to give mine a little extra tlc.
