Re: XD Value

G'day,
I'd skip the XD and go XE. The coil spring arse end is so much nicer, and they ride pretty good on 225.R14's.

XE also had the option of a Large 95L fuel tank for gas guzzling.

Either model, if you open the door and it smells musky, RUN LIKE HELL!! Common problem on them, is that the Wiper Plenum chamber suffers serious Iron ant infestation (rusts!!!) and then they leak like a sieve!

When the cars were only6 years old, i was already doing replacements on them, and the panel was still readily available...@ $600 each.

It is a major job to repair one rusted in this area, and that is provided you can put your hands on a NOS plenum chamber....a used one makes it even bigger.

Cheers
Jas
