Hello, I have been considering a classic Citroen for years and maybe now is the time. I always liked the XM but it's beginning to look more interesting as the years roll by and looking at how few are left in the UK I'd best get a move on!
Ideally looking for series 1 V6 SEi, preferably Auto but I detect that won't be easy. I suspect whatever I buy will need some work so it's nice to see a knowledgable crowd on this forum, if anyone has any pointers please get in touch.
Cheers, Andy
Newbie and potential XM owner!

Re: Newbie and potential XM owner!
Welcome Andy.
It's the opposite actually. The xm is very common with auto and it's only very early G and some H reg v6 that will be manual.
The v6 sei is a great spec but go for a K L or early M if you can. I say this as sei spec was up graded in late 1992 and cruise control was added to the spec. Early v6 doesn't have it.also the electrics got a minor upgrade to bolted earth's in the engine bay which helped a lot also a clarion rds radio and cd changer was added too.
yes any xm from anyone except an enthusiast will need work of some kind doing. I've got 5 xm here including a K reg V6 Sei auto with LPG but needing some rest which I have everything to do it. But there's other xm needing attention in the que first.
