Forget your snow worries with this AWD Jag for 950 100k miles and nct till dec.https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/jaguar-xtype-2-5-awd/14395079

This looks fantastic. Good find.

Love the comment "Surprisingly economical".

Any ideas what it might average?

Seat on the jag looks like its done 200k

The beige leather shows up the smallest spec of dirt and highlights wear lines more. Still, you could spend a few hours cleaning and conditioning to put it right.

Kamili

Nah that Jag looks minty mint. Those cream seats deffo highlight wear more. I'd be more worried if the bolster was worn or cracked. If I didn't already have one I'd be straight off to look at that one. I wanted the AWD version when I bought too.

The AWD aspect of the X type is nice but personally I think the S type is a nicer car. Inside especially

MuffinsDa

I wouldn't worry about the beige leather. I have an x-type myself with beige weather, with 198k Miles and the interior / seats are still fairly impeccable. The leather does not really show wear and tear.

Search that dealer on Boards as his Rep isn't great!! Though he always seems to have cheap (trade) cars, surely there's a reason they go so cheap!!

Don't know if it's the angle, or the shadows or what, but that car looks really sad!

unkel

It's the drooping headlights

I prefer the facelift model, a lot happier / more aggressive face!

Buying a petrol.

Most diesels in that budget would be risky enough imo.

B5.5 Passat that isn't wrecked. If such a thing still exists

The biggest mistake would be deluding yourself into thinking it does. A Carina 2 diesel would be a contender too :pac:

Realistically though, Bangernomics budget diesels are a minefield due to potential failures and repair costs ve a similar petrol car I'd say.

Just think out loud but by and large most entrants to this thread would be petrol I'd say?

Depends on where your driving tbh,

I have a 1.6 avensis that does 28mpg around town but will easily do 45-50mpg on a long run.

There's still a few older model cars with non-DPF diesel engines about, which are no more problematic than petrol engine cars. The only downside being the insurance situation on older cars.

The insurance situation, the tax situation and i know its case by case but DPF aside you never really see a petrol car nending a new flywheel, injector, EGR, turbo etc which are popular and expensive fails on lots of ageing diesels...
