Was never a BX person, but remember dad taking us to try out an XM back in the day and I was amazed at how comfy and nice it was and it shifted!
My dad had a bx diesel and almost replaced it with an xm but got an espace instead. It was a strange car and ended up being used as a runabout shed when the suspension regulator went for the nth time. I was then allowed to drive it (at 17, not sure I was insured tbh) and with the rock hard suspension had all 4 wheels off the ground on several occasions.

Not sure I would throw 9k at one mind:

More French:

Obs, wrong 'box but it does sound throaty by the seller's own admission and that's enough for me.

It never seemed a particularly wierd looking car in the same way that growing up in the eighties I never thought it strange we had a lady for a Prime minister. It just was how it was.

Typical that it's a Tiptronic with a double-AIDS colour combo that gets kept looking pristine.

Blimey, that's Arena? I love that colour on a 993, but either it doesn't work on a 996 or they're just rubbish pics.

They're completely fine - the buttons really do work. Most, but not all, detractors haven't even driven one. I prefer a spanish box but I don't mind Tip.

I actually really like the exterior colour.

The interior...not so much!

Hmmmm, I really like that colour combination. I must be broken, but it seems welcome in a sea of 'normal' combos. Then again, I like an S1 XJ6 with dark green leather, or an E46 with smurf, or a Bentley T2 with all blue or all burgundy interior, or the holy grail; an E24 with Buffalo leather.....mmmmmmmmm
