Very rare, these very pale blue ones...
In the description it's blue but in the pictures its white. Does PSA Blue fade like PSA Cherry Red? Maybe its a very rare sort of flip paint or a very, very pale blue..

It's obviously rare. But there's a reason for that. Did you ever drive a 71hp Diesel with automatic transmission ? The owner could not do more than 37.000 miles since 1992, just because the car is so damned slow ! Had the pleasure to drive in a Xantia with this engine and gearbox. Sleeping behind the steering wheel is no problem...

Have a look at his other stock- the Saab- would you buy a used car from a man with THAT on his front lawn????[:D]
According to the RAC site that ZX is white, and has no previous owners, neither does the Saab, so they look like main dealer trade ins that he either gets direct or more likely he goes up to BCA at Enfield to pick them up.Either way, they haven't been sitting around long enough for the change of ownership to filter through.
His feedback's quite entertaining though, you'd think you could trust him with your life reading through it-its too good to be true, but then one of his negatives accuses him of creating his own positive feedback!!! There's a surprise........what ebayer DOESN'T do this....
I think some of the bids may be fake-it seems to have gone a bit high very quickly in only 4 bids from 4 different bidders-£410 straight to £650, then £770 then £790.........no reserve so why bid £650 instead of taking a punt at £425, its only a one day listing so its a very strange bid pattern unless it was done to ramp the price up, as no way is it worth more than £600, low mileage or not!!!!

well if no "legit" ebayer buys it, keep an eye out to see if it reappears in a week or so

A mate bought one privately a few weeks ago for about 600£, that was a clean low miles one too.

I see an estate version almost daily, it seems to be overtaken by old ladies with zimmer frames very easily..........

Finally, would you buy from someone with a username of mrs.twit? I may be reading more than there is into a username but it does not sit comfortably with me at all; surely your choice of username has to say something about you....

Interesting, you can look at their completed listings, and it shows that they seem to have sold the same car a couple of times (one example is the FORD ESCORT LX 1.8 ZETEC , sold twice!!) Are they into ringing cars or just bidding on their items if they arent going for as much as they want?[:D]
