So after putting off buying a 4x4 for towing our caravan and buying a BMW 3 series, Volvo S60 and Vauxhall Vectra (absolutly terrible car) I took the plunge and decided to look at a number of X-Trails all were lovely cars with all the mod cons, I then decided to buy this, 78000 mile, 4 family owners, local car for alot less that marked price

Nice looking truck and welcome aboard. Is it the 3.0 or 2.7?

Now give it a good clean underneath and get the wax oil out.

Thanks guys

Well apart from above there's nothing else to say about it really, I got a feeling the driver seat is bent slightly, there's no arm rest in the center which makes me sad and a little rust on the rear door.

Although I did find out that it was bought by a farmer from the next village up new from a van specialist just down road, he passed away whilst feeding sheep in his field, his son inherited it, his wife then needed a 7 seater so she then had it for a few years then her father had it

Door rust is not usual, which door and where? Rick

 

[fluffy]

on the boot door just where the plastic trim under the window meets the metal on the door near the handle

never seen rust there, got doors if you want one, but not your coulor, Rick

thanks but I am just awaiting a quote to get it done as either way it would have to be painted, its only a couple of surface scabs so should be an easy fix

Welcome think we chatted on FB the other day about you changing your stereo Centre arm rest is easy to sort as a Vectra B one can be modded to fit which i've done twice & one of the best mods i've done. Mine also has the same rust spots on the rear door:doh
