I should have waited...

Absolutely !

The registration number was worth that on its own ?

Yes, but buying an XM blind on the 'bay would have been very risky. I'll bet it's not in any way perfect and will need quite a lot of time and money spent to bring it to my standard...

Tell me about it Jim. I have many a time nearly bought several XM's...including Roberts old 17K Si, of ebay. But I just couldn't go through with it. I would get as far as bidding, but the pressure and anxiety would take over an I would chicken out. The unknowns where to much to cope with!...still are in fact.

Roberts 17K SI you could have bought Russ! I've sat in it or was it 27K don't remember, maybe another one.

Its another one Jaap,

The one you sat in is 23K miles.

I once bought a car from ebay and never again. Just like you I was racked with nerves and so anxious it was untrue..

I'm always much happier going looking, prodding and poking and then haggling a deal face to face...

Absolutely Jim. quite agree.

Jaap, this was when Roberts Si was on eBay about 2006/7 ish I think. He didn't own it then but bought it then...if you see what I mean. And as it turns out, I really should have bought it! I also remember at the time there was a 40k Manadarin SD for not much too, it was still in France, but was going to be brought back to the UK. So I was kind of caught between the two...and ended up with neither. The Manadarin one was a very tidy example. Even had the tape cassette introducing you to your new XM. Wonder what happened to that car?

I have bought a few cars on e-bay. Its fine. Just treat it as any other car buying medium. Don't pay unless you are happy with it as you would with any other purchase.
