Tuned XM

Post by Jan-hendrik » Sat Jul 31, 2010 11:33 pm

This looks like an interesting, pristine XM in a different package. Right hand drive, 56k km on the clock, only 1.28 million yen! Oh, yes, and it's a year 2000 model, first registered in 2001 :D

Edit: It's actually not RHD, as Citroenesque kindly pointed out, but LHD. My excuses!

It's actually LHD, Jan. But seeing as the Japanese drive on the same side of the road as us, it's going to affect value in my opinion. Imagine that would sell well in Europe though!

It is a Sony, like you said, and AFAIK it is the original - at least for this model sold in Japan. My car has the same equipment and it is hooked up with a Sony CD changer in the trunk. Some functions can be controlled with the buttons on the steering wheel.

Yeah it is LHD :oops: Don't know how I made that mistake. Probably mixed up with another advert :D

Does it say what engine is in it?

Very, very nice car regardless.

It only says 3.0 ltr, but that surely means the V6-24v as only those models were imported in the final years.
And BTW, it's from its first owner!

You could spend a little money bringing it back to standard spec, and have a really nice car.

I actually think its nice with the modifications, looks really well if done properly and not a Halford's special.
