Great selection of interesting cars!! Must be something there for the new fellas after one. ALL MANUALS TOO!! :shock:

A sorry rather sad 16v - may make £200 if the scumbags rape the engine out of it for a Pugcharriot
A mint looking EARLY s1 2.1 manual - nice looking car if a bit pricey - not sure whether it will be a "quick sale"
Gorgeous blue 16v - teeny weeny text - folk may need a magnifier glass! Poor blighter is likely bankrupt having dealt with WHM?

All sound interesting prospects at differing ends of the price scale. That blue one would get my vote!! Especially as someone's FIRST Xm!!

That Marron 2.1 is very clean and tidy - I'm not a fan of the Picasso wheel trims, easily sorted. I love the Romana velour, I miss not driving my Si now!

If this car was fauly free, 100% mechanically, and not needing any money spending on it, it would represent good value for money at a bit less than his buy it now price. I'm not so keen on the leaking fuel pump, but I don't know how easy they are to re-seal.

I'll be interested to see what this goes for, my 2.1TD has 92K miles.

I really like the look of the blue S reg SX. I agree with Andrew, it would make a good starter XM for someone not doing big miles.

The last one....the blue one is the pick of the bunch.....The first 2 i wouldnt even go and see. Something about them says "i need money throwing at me before long".dont know why, just a hunch. The last one is a steal though if it goes for circa £500 to £700. He mentions all the right words and jobs being done apart from Kwik Fit doing the brakes :? ....Id re do them......(Im sorry but ive had very bad experiences with them)

Seems a great way into XM ownership...and looks like a great shade of blue.... :P

It's not a seal that's gone, it's the shaft and top cover. The shaft wears, transfers steel into the aluminium top cover which then wears the shaft even more.
