On ebay

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Just the kind of excessive splurge that puts me right off ! Consider this bit --

"Cruise control, digital aircon, electric windows, electric seats (incl height on drivers), electric tilt/slide sunroof, electric mirrors, heated mirrors, heated washer jets, headlight washers, HID headlights, 6CD autochanger, front/rear fogs, reading lights, remote central locking, alarm, immobiliser, deadlocking, trip computer, adjustable steering wheel, steering wheel radio controls, electric height adjustable front arm rest, alloy wheels, self-levelling hydractive 2 suspension, rear power socket, extra radio DIN slot option, 4 interior handles to help you get in/out, 2 retractable coat hooks in the back, front map reading lights, rear passenger face vents.
Many of these things you can only otherwise get on a BMW 7 series or top end Merc."

Or, alternatively, you can get most of it on a huge range of current, very ordinary vehicles.

Sorry, but by you get down to listing coat hooks it all sounds a bit sad to me. Odds on, any serious buyer is going to be in the fold already and know pretty much exactly what to expect and what to look for.
Anyone new to XMs is still going to be more concerned about the perceived quirkiness and not likely to be swayed by news that it has alloy wheels (that are absolute sods to get balanced !) and handles to help you get out.
