Well. This one went for only £400 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251962041405" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Only one bidder, looks like a great bargain when you consider what has been changed recently including, clutch!
Strange that mine closed only a few weeks before and had 6 bidders and not as well specled out, ie., I don't have leather or air con...I wonder what put buyers off?
Good luck to the new buyer, I'd say you got a great car from the looks of it.

Re: Activa on EBay
I think the Chelsea badge put off some people.
Personally I prefer yours. I don't think xantia leather is comfortable and air con on the performance variant of a car? Loads will disagree, but thats what I think.

Thank you, I do too but I am biasedelma wrote: Personally I prefer yours.
Are Activas for sale often then? I only decided I wanted one in April when I saw them and got chatting to a few owners at the X Rally... Randomly searched for one on ebay and bought her on a whim, I am really glad I did as it's time I sold/ retired my XM estate.. The XM is petrol and manual (many are autos) if anyone is looking for one... 2.0 non turbo 16V. Best load carrier I know of apart from a CX estate.

Re: Activa on EBay
According to How Many Left, there are only 77 Activas still in existence in the UK, 31 taxed, 46 SORNed. I have just checked;

Re: Activa on EBay

Re: Activa on EBay
Interesting thanks. May not be accurate but gives an idea of low numbers out there. Really makes me wonder why they achieve such a low sale price...
