didn't want an Audi or a BMW so I have agreed to buy this ...

[Super Tigers]

Sorry for the carp pic but I am away at the moment. I sold my venerable Xantia 1.8lx for a £50 profit (paid £500, sold for 550 ) and I was looking for something a little bit different. I saw a 1996 P reg Mazda Xedos 6 auto 2.0 V6 24v for sale, all the electric kit (windows, sunroof, aircon, abs, seats, mirrors etc), full leather and wood interior and the 4 speed dual mode auto box, done a 140K miles with a complete history and all mots etc. Just been serviced inc new cam belt, trans oil change, new pads and discs front & back. Also it has 2 month old 17in alloys and new 235/50x17tyres. Mot till april 2008 and a months tax .
All for the princely sum of £600, the alloys and tyres must be worth £400.
Insurance isn't too bad for a grp 16 motor, £286 comp with the post office (I am 39 with 5 years no claims.)

Pick it up on thursday when I return home from Austria.

All the BMW fanboys will be on some claiming it is will be nowhere near as good as a Beamer!!

Ps, just for the BMw fan boys, in the hotel cap
r park this morning was a BMW M6 convertible on german plates, it looked gorgeous

Nice car, especially for the cost

That sounds gorgeous, this is coming from a bmw owner mate!
Where'd you find that?

 

[Super Tigers]

the bay of E, if you search for xedos6 completed yesterday you will see the car and more pics. Not sure if ebay links are allowed so I won't post one but can if a higher power confirms that Ebay links are ok.

wow, even at 140k thats a bargain, if only he had another

 

[[TW]Fox]

£600?

Absolute bargain. Can't argue with that for the car, gorgeous engine in these as well.

Congratulations

Whilst its a lot of car for the money, the xedos range is generally a cheap car, they werent very popular, hence the residuals are crap.

Not overly reliable in my experience, but i have only every come across uber cheapy dogs

Just note that the engine only comes alive over 4000rpm, and hits max power at 6000rpm (max torque is 5000rpm) - so how it will handle will depend on when the box changes for you. But it will last forever.

I had a look at a Xedos6 a few years ago. Very nice motor. Ended up buying an E30 instead. The E30 was more fun to drive, but a complete dog for reliability. Chances are that the Xedos would have been a great car to keep for a while.
Still gets my thumbs up!

Great result, for 100 quid more than I pay for a set of decent tyres!

Well done.

Could you have posted a smaller image though?

Poor German M6 driver having to put up with our idea of autobahns!!!

 

[Super Tigers]

just transferred some images over to hosting. Will get some better ones done on thursday when I collect the car.

At the moment I am in St Wolfgang, Austria, at the Landhaus Zu Appesbach hotel, in the carpark is 6 Austrian registered A4, A6 and A8s, a Porsche Carrera Gt , M6 convertible , and a Citreon Xantia I saw an Aston Martin Vantage yesterday. The austrians love their cars.
