Selling off one (or bits

) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Some of you may've already seen this, and it looks a little overpriced
and it's in Northern Ireland. That said, it looks like a good 'un.

A great car indeed. The published asking price and the sale price are often two different things however.
I personally think its great value for money, but then I would as its my car!

Ooops!

I guess I should've known it was yours - apologies for the gaffe and yes indeed, it does looks like a very fine example.

No, I didn't recognise the background as I'm unfamiliar with it, but I've already apologised (see above)... oh the shame of it!

And if I had the spare cash and a place to keep it, I'd perhaps even buy it myself: 28mpg (if I'm easy on the right foot) in my V6 Auto is getting to be a bit onerous... and then there's the vandalism to contend with!

45mpg and you don't have to be too kind to get that! Then again, the V6 Exclusive is a different animal all together.

"Should" and "could" – two very different words!

I can vouch for it (I used to own it)
