2000 2.1 TD VSX AUTO Blue Hatchback For Sale (Car & Classic)

[XMX]

As title listing ( W949 X00 ) spotted on Car & CLASSIC fitted with GM 'Omega' Alloy's with modified centre covers with the 'Double Chevrons' emblem on them (See THIS thread for another XM with the same Alloy's) IIRC I have a set of these in one of my shed's, possibly with a good set of tyre's, I'll have to check that out in the next few day's !

Here for sale reluctantly,my XM,it has a tow bar and pulled a small trailer occasionally. Now I have a caravan so have had to buy a more powerful car(Mercedes E300,not a patch on the XM!)Car has MOT to Aug.16 2013,tax to Feb.28 2013,first registered 22.05.2000,3 former keepers,182,000 miles,lots of history including cam belt @142k and recon autobox@144k.I've done spheres,injectors,heater plugs and pads while I've had it, just put a new auxilliary belt tensioner(£200!) and heater motor regulator.The car starts and drives perfectly,the l/h pixel display doesn't work and the front bumper isn't perfect although very useable(like it when I bought it in 2008)Oddly,it has a mains powered engine block heater installed for those cold winter starts! Nice car,well worth viewing at £1650.

Erm, yes I can see the Green Merc, but I can also see a Silver XM with a tow-bar in some of of the back ground Photo's (So unless thats a friends XM why buy a Merc)

Is this a forum members XM ?

As it looks a nice and clean example (Shame there's no interior photo/shot's though) !

Seems a good buy @ £1650 if all checks out okay ?

An XM can only tow 1500kg, the Merc will tow 1900kg.

I suspect this is the nicer of the two XM and the other one is the Wifes car now, perhaps having been handed down.

Now listed on E-BAY too !

Why on earth would you need a mains powered block heater if the heater plugs are working? Starting when -12C or worse is never a problem.

[messerschmitt owner]

the car is up to temperature from as soon as it starts so less wear on the engine bores, instant heat, better fuel consumption, etc. Lots of very, very good reasons as far as I can tell.

[hydroman]

Maybe in Siberia but not here. How many diesel xm engines wear out before the car? Presumably the mains electric is free. Anyway, mains block heaters don't normally get the engine up to operating temperatures, and certainly not the heater radiators.

Sold for £950 !

Is the new owner a forum member ?

Good deal! Those heaters apparently do prolong engine life, but only if you drive half a million plus kilometres (knowledge that I borrow here from some one driving ridiculously many miles)
