1989 CITROEN BX 14RE RED - Spotted on EBAY - (For Sale)

[RxBX]

SPOTTED on EBAY !
As it's not my BX, or property that's why I've posted it under spotted !
(Justin/Jayboy are you checking the spotted posting's now ?)

This nice looking 1989 CITROEN BX 14RE RED with only 44k miles
Hopefully should be a good purchase if it doesn't exceed £600 and no mechanical issues worth a trip to view first possibly,
as plenty of time before auction end date !

Note, seller has not got a 100% feedback ! one negative reads as follows :- "car junk,and dangerous, watch this one ,not as described"

Also the description under Exterior, states 'Rear Spoiler' I was looking for maybe a Baby-walker type or a Rubber lip type spoiler !
But it's just the standard Matt Black bit that's just part of the normal Fibreglass moulding never mind at least it's not messed with until you go to the front bumper/fog lamp's (Why fit Fog lamps without wiring them up) ?
Also the bonnet's not quite the same shade of Red as the rest of the car (But as it is Red overall it's pretty good) ! .
Is this the one for Chris ? AKA 'Rangebyte' unless he's got fixed up ?

ohhh that looks tidy!!

I want very much...if only being a student wasnt such a poor ocuppation! not to mention insurance costs have just gone up for me for some starnge reason

[mountainmanUK]

why is it that SO many desirable BXs are coming available at the same time?
If I had a large barn, and a sympathetic Bank Manager / wife, this would definitely be on my shopping list!

Looks fooking bonny, does this one....and nice low mileage too!

[Jayboy]

Yeah, thanks Chris - I'm checking the spotteds now!

Hmmm - I'm suspicious of the fact that the engine bay is spotless. I like a bit of good, honest grime.

No takers as yet, that cars had a professional valet, hence why its so shiny, I would want to see it in the flesh before I bid for it as I suspect the paints not as mint as it looks.

Was there a pic in the ad originally?

Yes there was Philip at least six photo's and the shot of the engine bay's deleted I wonder why ?

Is it a Forum member's vehicle or Guest looking in on the comments being generated here and because there's less than a day before the listing ends and no bid as yet maybe ?

IIRC it had 'Reserve Not Met' in blue in the listing even though it started at £500, and (If it did have a reserve) now's that's gone with the Photo showing the really shiny steam cleaned look with lacquer sprayed every where to 'Give that new look ' in the engine bay !
