Was browsing inventory at some dealerships looking for 993 911s and found this. This car was $80,000 3 years ago!

it's been through a lot...

 

My cousin was just talking about a 99 XKR he saw for $13k last night..

Jaguars don't have the best resale values out there even tho' they have gotten more reliable since ford took over.

 

Did you run the carfax on it?

 

For 13!!! Damn! If it was black, I'd buy it.

 

Reliability on a 2000 XJ.

2003 is same car as 2000 for all practical purposes, so for 3 years, probably no more problems then you would have buying any other non-JP car.

 

yuk, i like old skool jags better, they look very classy.

 

The XJs all look the same.

 

yuk...so out of style.

 

Modern day Classic...

 

Black XJ's are

 

I love the XJR

I still wouldnt mind a Stype-R.

 

S-Type R woud be kind of nice. Lol, its JDM FTW!

 

Talk about interesting Jags, the local dealer just rolled this onto the floor



...though the F40 along side of it is more to my taste




I was just window shopping since I'm poor

 

agreed. Love it.

 

I wonder what that XJ220 is going for? Three Bills?

 

200-250.

 

if i am correct that car has increased in value since it debut. (the 220)

I think I heard they were in the millions by now.

 

Hardly. They are around or below the quarter million dollar mark. They cost 650,000 when new.

 

Yeah but what's the maintenance going to be like? Despite the increased reliability from Ford, that doesn't give me much more confidence.

I would love to snatch up one of those Jags at those prices, but it's the reliability and maintenance that'll scare me.

 

If I was ever to buy a used Jag, I would just pay cash for it and chalk up the breakdowns and such to cost of ownership. I also would have a second car....

 

My boss has one that he is about to turn back in- off lease. It is a nice car.

 

That's the kind of Jag I would buy. Something off of someone else's lease, especially someone I know.

 

My dad had a 99 XJR that he ran up to 120k before selling it. Didn't run into any problems with the car and it was strong for the 4 years he owned it. I loved that car. Didn't get a great trade in on it (18k at the time) but sure, if taken care of, it would have run forever. He has been thinking about getting another one although I like the slightly smaller body style.
