I bet the seller is now thinking that they'd not been so greedy by setting an unrealistic reserve price the first time they advertised it, as it achieved £837.77 with 4 bids but Reserve was not met (The current starting price is £850 with a BIN of £950) !
It did have front mudflaps fitted when I last saw it and was showing rust around the front lips. They look very tidy in those photos, so perhaps they have been done. It did have the proper remote lcoking key too, and one normal key.
It all comes down to price and desire doesn't it? I acquired the car in a deal that was worth about £650 and sold it nearly a year later for less. That was on Ebay in an auction that ran to the end and so the market value was achieved, although it wasn't what I wanted. The purchaser when I sold it flew someone up from Southampton to Teeside to drive it back adding a fair amount to his costs.
I don't happen to think that the cosmetic "improvements" made to the car increase its desirability, but then I'm not a fan of leather seats.
I too would like to see it bought by someone who will enjoy it; it was my introductions to XMs and two others later I'm still hooked.

Hello Ragger. The old red estate sailed thgrough its second MOT last month, still clocking up the miles, approaching 170,000 now. Only problem I have had was a new heater matrix, to date, touch wood.

How on earth can they expect so much too with the door cards miss-matching the dash and questionable
wheels with sidewalls choice notwithstanding the concerns about welding required as mentioned here.
Defies all logic and just shows they're really out of tune with the value the market believes is appropriate.
