I don't think that age is the main factor. In France, where rust had not taken older cars off the road, the number of XMs and Xantias that you see on the roads has plummeted since about 2013, which coincides with the time that many regularly used spare parts became NFP.Eddie nuff wrote:I think this has more to do with it than anything else. Owt with green blood in it is well into its middle age and considering the time, money and specific knowledge needed to keep one on the road it's no great surprise that few are seen. I saw my first Xantia in ages last week, a gorgeous blue estate, seeing anything else with green blood is very rare.Dieselman wrote:The newest XM is now 18 years old.
BMWs and Mercs of the 1980 and 90s have not done the same dissappearing act.
