With a current top bid of £225 and less than a day to go, maybe resale value has something to do with it!!

Last post

Well people do sell their car, and go for a newer model, but I can't help thinking this seller is going about it the wrong way.
Basically most of us would rather progress from a Mondeo to an Xantia, and not the other way round.
Here's the link:-

Once most sensible people have seen the light, and tried an Xantia, there is no going back.

Well this is not how your rear lenses should look, they are looking rough. What did the owner clean them with, wire wool ?
It's things like this, along with the worn out rear wiper blade that will ensure that a future owner will wonder what else is wrong with the car, other than what has been disclosed in the listing.

Really glad to see that they are not just crushing them, my local breaker had a ZX diesel last year from the council and there was apparently a ruling that it could not go on the road again, waste, mind you I suppose you would feel a bit uncomfortable if you put it on the road and someone popped up and said oi thats my car!

If you are like me, and wondered what happened to the vehicles that a council, takes to their car pound for whatever reason, and the owner does not collect/claim their vehicle well here's the answer.

They are selling it on ebay.
