Coprolalia Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 The Xantia of many Autoshite owners could be right up your street bub.Derv and vegetarian so proper cheap to run.Massive load capacity for car booting. PAS and comfy.Worth a look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 That's a valid point. I'm seriously considering it now if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 That's a valid point. I'm seriously considering it now if I'm honest. And it has a tow bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Yep. Where do you live? I'm still waiting on full logbook for Volvo but have green slip etc but you obviously know I ain't going to do a runner or rip you off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Surely that's old enough for a classic car policy?I've tried one of those James classic insurers and they don't want the Sierra as its newer than 86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I've tried one of those James classic insurers and they don't want the Sierra as its newer than 86.I had that Sierra insured with Footman James with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Can we sort something out foad? Of course, I'm in Dunfermline but would meet somewhere between here and where you are. *Edit - Stockton on Tees looks like a good middle point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Morose Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Xant would be right up your street bub. Think my old BX with a bit more refinement. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Is the logbook going to be an issue? I can post it to you. Also got to sort cash put for fuel to get up there. When would be a good time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 I like it to be fair. Me and a friend was writing a list of cars what would be ideal and a xantia was on it fpb. Bonus is diesel,estate and towbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I had that Sierra insured with Footman James with no issues.Me too. Other than the cancellation rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripped fred Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I think the xantia will do you well Bub. Sounds like a good swap to me for both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I would check insurance mind. Big diesel engines are usually more painfully to insure, even though they're slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cms206 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'm getting bummed £92 a month insurance on the 406 but I only had 3 months left on the policy when I took the Kia off. No NCB either doesn't help but I only need to fuel the 406 once a month so that evens things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripped fred Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I get about 530 miles out of a tank in my 406, more on a long journey. It's an HDI but I think it's similar economy to the XUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I would check insurance mind. Big diesel engines are usually more painfully to insure, even though they're slow. I've got it on a classic policy with footman james at the moment at £167 a year with the 309 also insured on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Xantia was a nightmare for insurance. It was about £300 a year more expensive than 2.3t Saab 9-5. Fuck knows why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Insurance is 90 quid a month for me on xantia,100 quid a month cheaper than Volvo so quite cheap. It's looking a very viable option purplebargeken, Coprolalia, Tamworthbay and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
