Gladly, My XM NOT Up For Grabs...
Indeed. Fact is I can no longer run, maintain and justify three cars so one has to go. Unfortunately the XM came third.
Those that know me know why this is the case and I'll say no more here.
I'm not going to say much about the XM except that it's an S1.5 2.0TCT Prestige (Sei) auto running on LPG and is black.
It's a good 'un, everything works and all is sound underneath. MOT'd until November 2013 and taxed until May.
There's a little cosmetic damage in the rear quarter but apart from that she's dead straight body-wise.
She could really do with some new strut tops and a new cambelt and waterpump but that's the limit of what might need doing.
I'm looking for a good home for her rather than making the most money so make me a reasonable offer and if your home is good she's yours!
Thanks...

Re: Sadly, My XM Up For Grabs...
Sorry to hear you're selling up Jim, but not selling out. I got my redundancy notice two days before Christmas, so might be in the same situation before too long. The DS3 will be going in a couple of weeks. Hang on in there mate.

Re: Sadly, My XM Up For Grabs...
Really sorry to hear of your redundancy Mark
I'm sure you'll soon be on your feet again in a better job with better pay...
My situation is all down to my health and my ability to look after three cars to the standard I wish them to be looked after and also I'm barely driving now and that'll be the case for the foreseeable so on that basis alone it's hard to justify two, let alone three cars.
There's no lack of love for the XM - just the opposite - it's just the Activa and V6 have been with me for a long time now, they're well-known so they're the ones who stay unfortunately...

You'll often see me go a bit quiet. It's when my brain decides it doesn't really want to play with a full deck
