Citroen XM Forum

I had indeed missed your addition Mike and I will try and establish the age of the other car. It is interesting that there is only 1,000km between the two and the asking prices are matched! In the UK we have seen many older XM appear for sale lately and I guess when you consider a third of the production and sales (100,000 approx.) were during the first two years that makes sense. The early cars are less likely to be around due to age and technical issues, but clearly many have survived. With regards, Matthew T.

This one might be a possibility... Difficult to tell from the advert whether there is something seriously wrong with the engine. I presume that he he really wants more than the headline asking price.

It looks like the front end has been pulled off due to trying to drag it onto a transporter in the settled state.

Yes all in all not a healthy looking car and what a choice of photo for a sale!!! Regards, Matthew T.

I believe the seller is making people aware of the issue the car has. It broke down and a recovery agent pulled the front off the car.

That is a fair comment Will and here is a translation of the text:

I think that the "gas exhaust manifold cylinder head change " is supposed to mean exhaust manifold, or manifold gasket

Interesting translation

Shades of 'Allo 'Allo...

I understood it better in French.... And I don't speak French! hahaha
