MINT 3-yr old S-Type Jaguar for sale. I got sent by the parents to go buy a 5yr old Mondeo/Vectra at auciton and got a little carried away. They don't want it, I can't afford to keep it, so I need to sell before the end of the month comes and I get hit with my card bill...
Am I missing something here, 'cos I can't see an asking price.
Hope it was cheap, 'cos it's the spec. no-one wants..... cloth and manual, in a Jag. Eurgh!
And the 3 litre as well. You'll have to take a hit if you want to sell it quickly. Put it back into the auction.
Poverty spec shitbox, and you're a chancer of a dealer. HTH.
He's not a dealer, used to be a reg here.
Hmmm buys at auction, attempts to sell on, that makes him a dealer.
IIRC he's a Land Rover nut who started by putting a 2.0 in one, then went on to fit a 620ti turbo motor into one. Which naturally, blew it to pieces :-)
Nah, Marco has been posting here since he blew up his first turbo petrol Landie looney car that he built in his, after school
Err, arse!
Asking 8500.
Cloth rocks! I've got leather in the Land-Rover because its hardwearing and you can hose s**te off it, but you pay for that with it being cold in winter, hot in summer and you slide all over the shop around corners. Cloth is warmer in winter, cooler in summer and grips your bum/midriff around the twisties. Leather as a 'luxury' item is clever marketing people for you - as it's rubbish in a car unless its 1) a
4x4, 2) a taxi or 3) you've sproglets.Manual vs Auto? Amuptees and cripples drive autos - they're horrid! (especially the new 6-speeder ZF - if you want an auto S-Type make sure it's pre-facelift)
Works fine in the 650kg JP1, but struggles to drag the S type around at anything other than steady pace without having to be revved.
Auto V8 Leather, the only spec that works.
*cough* :)
This is true of any current or recent Jag with a petrol V6, though...
If you're going to run to a Jag, get a proper one..?
Exactly, preferably one made from aluminium.
Wonder if they'll be better when they switch to the Volvo I6 motor.
XJR.
Well, it's more fitting for a Jag. than a Ford V6.
Heh.
Volvo, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Ford... owned by Ford...
Nice one :)
Yes, but you are missing the point. Instead of replacing the XK I6 with a ford V6, they will be putting the newer Volow I6 in. The proper configuration for a Jag.
Erm, isn't that what I was saying?
How much did it go for?
