Old Xantia estate... - hotrodjacko - 23-11-2016
Whats a rusty old Xantia XUD estate worth? Failed MOT 18 months ago, got welded up on the sills and then just sat around and never got retested... Needs a wheel bearing and a CV boot for MOT. Owned by a mates dad from new.
But. It's got the good old Xantia manifold, a Bosch pump, never been messed with. Was thinking about either:
a) Pull the engine and box out of it for if/when I get a Phase 1 (fingers crossed my old Bianca). Scrap the rest.
b) running it as a DervBus until I get said Phase 1.

run the xantia, much more comfy than a 306 and more practical

What he said.
Suspension system isn't actually that complex. I'll buy a CX at some point!
RE: Old Xantia estate... - zx_volcane - 24-11-2016
run it, they're an absolutely lovely cruiser, comfy as anything and bags of room
RE: Old Xantia estate... - maxaret - 24-11-2016
Yes run the xant - I used to have one - really comfy and as Allye posted - the suspension is not complex.
Mine became an economic write off after a slow speed shunt but I did not have enough spare time to buy it back and rebuild it (it was all bolt on stuff LOL)
RE: Old Xantia estate... - hotrodjacko - 24-11-2016
Might consider it as a daily then... Thoughts about putting a 2052 on it? Or run standard hardware and keep it stage1?
WIW, £150?
RE: Old Xantia estate... - r3k1355 - 24-11-2016
£150 seems alrite, maybe £125 if you can?
I think metal prices are rising slightly at the moment?

I would say £100-£150 would be a winner.
We are currently paying £60 per ton for cars
prices have risen lately but not going up anymore before christmas i expect.

Well the cheapest insurance that came back on the price comparison jobby was £739. LOL! Who makes this up, seems like a random number generator.
CBA right now to call anyone to see if it'll go lower, thought I'd chuck it in there for ease.
RE: Old Xantia estate... - maxaret - 24-11-2016
When I bought my 306 as a second car (and therefore unable to have any NCD on it) - I ended up with Tesco insurance at a really good price
RE: Old Xantia estate... - Poodle - 24-11-2016
No MOT? £150 absolute maximum. Well worth it though as a daily though, that insurance will get cheaper if you do a couple of random mods and call brentacre. Assuming you're over 25 that is.
RE: Old Xantia estate... - hotrodjacko - 25-11-2016
Not 25 until Feb annoyingly. I called Adrian Flux yesterday and they couldn't beat it. I'll call Sky who I'm insured with at the moment, see what they say about stage 1 tune etc
