What should I do?

[Featch]

I absolutely love my XM but it's in need of lots of silly repairs and since I've been juggling a full time university degree course with full time work I haven't the inclination, the energy or the cash to revive it. Also my wife needs a van for her business and we have limited parking space.

So I have a basically sound 2.0 Turbo Exclusive auto that's showing a bit of wear and tear at 130,000 miles. It needs the back two exhaust boxes, a new ignition switch and various minor fiddly bits but nothing serious. I've not used for 9 months but I have moved it round the car park regularly and done Citroebics in it. I've changed the oil in the engine and gearbox (used the right stuff!!!) regularly and it runs and changes gear beautifully. I changed the cam belt, auxiliary belt and water pump 10,000 miles ago. I have full service history.

So should I sell as spares or repair, break it, or be all sentimental about it keep it going. I paid good money for it but I've had good use out of it so I wouldn't be looking for a fortune.

Here's a photo taken when I was still running it. I need to empty my wife's stock out and wash it before I can put it up for sale.

How about:

1. offering it to http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... hp?t=29805

2. Posting it on For Sale & Wanted

3. ditto Club XM forum.

Hi Featch,

It would be a shame to see her go mate. I always wanted an XM.

It doesn't sound like there is too much wrong with her either. But if you need the space...

I've been through the mill with my Xantia lately, I think/hope I've just about got her sorted out.

I'm sure you won't have any problems finding a new owner on here or the XM forum.

Good luck.

OK I guess I should put it in Sales & Wants. I was thinking of £250. There's no tax or test.
