It definitely needs a little bit of work, and amazingly it is not equipped with heated seats, but overall it’s quite a good amount of car for $3200. I’ll get to spend a little bit more time with it when he goes abroad in a week or so.

Kinja'd!!!

By then I will also have a new phone, so I will be able to give you a better picture than this, which is the shittiest picture in the known universe.

Southern California car when new? I’ve seen heated seat delete (or gratis option not selected) on older MBs sold new in the area.

Nice Mondeo.

(I’ve secretly always had a soft spot for the X-Type, especially the Estate. Just don’t tell anyone.)

I’ll fully admit to not recognizing this for several minutes. I was like Jetta...S40...sportwagen...hyundai?

I think the mods threw me off. And I’ve seen maybe three X wagons ever. A long time ago.

Nice deal!

Yeah - dat photo ... thought it was a Volvo for a second. But no ... JAAAAG! It’ll run, at least for a while.

Thanks! And yeah, between the aftermarket wheels, the sort of generic shape from the rear, and the fact that you never see them, it’s not surprising.

It’s much more recognizable from the front.

Barely. They sold 1600 of them.

The Queen used to own one of these in green, pretty sure it had heated seats though.

This says otherwise.

But I don’t follow stuff like this anyway, I only remember it being shared to Oppo when she was selling it - for all I know she could’ve kept it.
