I asked a second question about where the air comes from for air cooling the intercooler and he replied
".the intercooler gets its air as it sits a few inches bellow the bonnet and it draws air in through the top.thanks stu."
I get the impression he knows more about it than his previous answers would suggest.
He did not appear to post the answer on the Q& A section (I didnt realise that you had the option of not posting).

I just wonder if we should be warning any possible buyers, i bet you good money the winning bidder turns up on here to tell us how they have rubbish economy, it fails an MOT and looks like a ringer!
The thing about the Xantia's is when they've been crashed you CANT get them totally straight again so somewhere there will be evidence of it. Deffinatley one for a HPi check me thinks! Could always be the mechanic is dodgy not the seller, but i suspect they may be one in the same!

All the questions and answers are still there, there are that many questions that they are not all displayed, if you click on "more" you will see them all. My opinion on this car is that it has had an engine fitted from a Peugeot 405, the intercooler on the Pug. is as it is shown in the picture for this Xantia, there is ducting in the Pug's bonnet to feed the air to the intercooler and it works very well. The Xantia bonnet does not have this ducting so I think the intercooler fitted to this Xantia will not be very efficient.

What is it really worth?

Its worth what somebody is willing to pay for it, if £676 was bid, then that's what its worth.

Assuming that was their maximum bid: they could have had a much higher proxy bid. In any case, that's what it's worth to that individual, which can be wildly different from the market value.
Note to self: must avoid getting into pedantic arguements in forums.
Somehow, I don't think we'll see it again on Ebay, unless the seller really is as dumb as he seems.
