Very nice car, lovely colour combo and low miles. The price, however, is more than I am prepared to pay and the seller is in Lancashire, the other side of the country from me. If he puts a new MoT on it and drops the price to sub £2.5k, I’ll probably give him a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quite hard to find one with < 100k which I guess is why its more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a low miles (57k) FSH W219 CLS a couple of years ago and had one problem after another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine it in a '90's lad mag' context e.g. "I'd lay some serious pipe into that Philippa Forester/Gail Porter etc" but I suspect that's not the case here. I thought it was synonymous with dropping the kids off at the pool, or stocking the lake with brown trout? 500tops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw118 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 £195 no reserve so far, looks GR9....but has those immortal words in the listing: Quote It only has a few weeks of MOT left but I can’t see why it wouldn’t pass its next MOT Hmmm.... not only but also: Quote he logbook states “this vehicle has been salvaged because the estimated cost of commercial repair was more than the value of the vehicle”. This was with a previous owner but I don’t know what work it was referring to So it's a catagory N or S or summert... not that it matters at this price point I suppose....MoT history looks good. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-XANTIA-SXAUTO/264788478079?hash=item3da69f887f:g:bvsAAOSwFnVfA3SD Brodders and scdan4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not, so I won't. £1000 start, no reserve, some stuff about keys and codes. Probably easy/cheap* fix. Or not. Norwich. #elephanttestes #fuckthat #moretroublethanitsworth.

I used to do all the car movements for Autocrafts with my 3 car transporter and this was a second vehicle for accident recovery,fuel cost was built into the job and mechanical spares were ok-ish,it was sold before it became a problem.
