Xantia or XM as a long-term car

[LeWaftBarge]

What is the fascination with low mileage cars? Any cars with seriously low mileage are going to need a lot if work to get back into the swing of things. I bought a 2000 Rover 75 diesel with 228k on the clock and that was a fantastic piece of kit! When it came to replacing her at 260k I chose a 1994 Civic with 30k on the clock and I had a lot of work to do to it to the suspension, brakes and engine.

Cars like being driven, low mileages and periods of inactivity are a way to ruin them.

C5s are very cheap.
