My G/F works for the railways, often has to clear out arches. She's just sent me the below pic. I know NOTHING about Jags...should I be impressed?  Before the vultures start to circle, I'm pretty sure this isn't derelict... |

I'm pretty sure this isn't derelict... DVLA says it's taxed till December 2012, so I would suggest you're right. It's a Sapphire Blue 3.2 X300, worth around the same as a slice of toast. Epic value these things at the moment ;D. The wheels in the pic are probably worth more than the car! Yes, you should be impressed though, it's a Jag ;D. Edit: Must type faster...... |

Very very nice cars, much more reliable than the old stuff and the late straight 6 is one of the best feeling engines they ever made imo, bit lacking in internal headroom and boot space, but much sportier to drive than luxo barge should be.
Even the lower power ones feel sporty despite often having knackered bushes. Not terrible on fuel either, 20mpg around town and can do 40mpg on the motorway if you nurse them along just fast enough to get into top gear.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

Hang on!
pOG reckons its worth a cup of cold pee
Tragic reckons its worth a slice of toast
I was unaware of the exchange rate of these 2 comodities and I cannot find any site comparing them.
I did find a similar Jag buy it now on ebay for £3995.
Does this mean I cost myself close to £12000 before I was even dressed?
How does it work with selling pee? Can I take it to the same place I take my other scrap?

I've seen reasonable looking supercharged XJRs going for just under 2 grand, I know XJ40s are available in the 500 quid bracket for good ones so somewhere between those two prices would seem feasable.
Some parts are likely to be pricey, headlamp control modules for the twin headlamp models were about 900 quid for the XJ40, i had two people trying to buy my whole car just for that part. :S

Basically, X300s are worth less than pork pies or Jaffa Cakes so lower denominations are more widely used in the purchase of such. Unfortunately, fluff from down the back of the sofa is NOT legal tender any more. Let's just say you can get a decent one with tax, test, history and a full compliment of wheel arches, even possibly a supercharger for waaay less than a grand. ;D Like this one |
