Barge or no? 08 old system tax, 3.0 v6 petrol, NCT till 4/18 for €4750

Rang the seller.. Sounds a genuine car.. Just driver door doesn't open from the outside , otherwise very good condition he says.
Very tempted to take a spin from Cork for a look... Probably won't hang around at this price though..

bear1 · 04-08-2017 07:33PM

So to get into the car you need to go through the passenger side?
Wonder what the issue there is.

bazz26 · 04-08-2017 07:42PM

Probably not a cheap fix if not already sorted, Jaguar parts are generally on the high end of expensive. But at least the seller is up front about it and not making someone drive a long distance to waste their time.

He says it's an easy fix.. whip off the door card and re attach the rod for the latch . It seems that it comes out of its groove over time in these.

Back street dealer. Has 8 other cars for sale

bazz26 · 04-08-2017 07:44PM

You have to think if it was an easy fix the seller would just fix it when selling it though.

Tbh if it is an easy fix then the seller would fix it.
Granted the person is being warned about it but I'd be very surprised if it was as simple as greasing up some parts.
Then again it could be completely true and the seller just isn't bothered.
Just to me, if someone isn't bothered fixing something which is supposedly easy then imagine how it's been looked after in general.

Eric Cartman · 04-08-2017 08:13PM

Those door handle failures are common, it comes up a lot on TOPiX to do with revised parts etc… most common is the door latch assembly fails/ kind of fails and then people forcing the handle breaks the plastic brackets on the rear of the handle. just google "jaguar xf door handle problem" and you'll get loads of threads. If you're handy with fixing it yourself it can be 250 notes to do, if not a mechanic will probably want close to 500 to do it. Lot of stuff to remove on those door cards. Thats with glueing the handles plastic brackets back on / provided its not too damaged, if the handle needs to be changed its more but no idea how much, most people seem to just araldite them.

He took it in as a trade , he said he gave the guy very little for it and he just wants it sold and out of his way.

Pity its on the old tax system, otherwise I'd be very tempted

Wouldn't it cost more on the co2 rates?

bazz26 · 05-08-2017 12:25AM

Some people also don't realise that if it were cheap to tax, it would cost more to buy.

Is that aimed at me?

I've been looking at these anyway, yes it could cost more to buy, but even still, that cheap for one, so I wonder is it more than just the tax that's the issue.

The 3ltr Diesels are coming up at €750 a year to tax on the C02 rate. I think from research the diesels have about 40-45mpg. The newer 3 litre diesels seem to be on the 570 per year rate.

Here's another for cheaper, it's got an NCT til early next year and is 1200 to tax. 2.7d version
Not sure it's luxobarge territory at all though, and seems to be in the damaged cars section with the engine needing attention.

The tax can't be the reason why that other one is that cheap. I think I've contacted that dealer before and he knows what he has, so I don't understand why it's so cheap. Tends not to drop prices if I think it's the same guy.

I am likely to be wrong though.

I've always admired those, I think they're stunning cars.

That one in particularly I've seen twice in over the last few months in shopping centres. The engine sounds sweet as a nut.
Not sure I'd believe that its been garaged the last 5 years, unless he means he parked it in a garage at night.

It's a large nearly 10 year old petrol car. The tax is one factor in it's market value, if it had lower tax it would be more attractive to buy meaning that it's value would increase a bit. There are also other factors such as running costs and maintenance. Cars like that also have high depreciation curves from the day they drive out the showroom.

I've owned one. Be very careful. They are beautiful cars, but not for the faint hearted. Mine was pristine, but they need to be nurtured big time. Apparently jag had to build them out of panels as they were short of cash, so they rust very badly. They are not a car for a seaside, or even a wet climate.
There are loads about in the UK, and whilst they may have nudged up in value, the classic car market is an almighty bubble at present.
The other thing us that they leak oil as pretty much part of the running. It doesn't bother them once you keep them topped, but your drive gets a bit messy. They need to be kept out of the elements, and need an understanding and mechanically minded owner really.
The radiators are prone to rust, and are difficult to change, so make sure you run it at idle for a decent spell.
It's a shame, as they are stunning, but they are needy and difficult cars.
I felt I'd been given an heirloom to look after, and I wasn't up to it, so I sold it to an absolute gent and have a couple of less difficult, but less soulful cars.
If the body work is good, that's a fair price. Check the wheel arches, check underneath carefully. Look for rust.

Ps, the aerofoil abomination is on and off in those photos. Not sure how the mounting points are covered. It looks like there are two holes in the boot to mount it?
Not sure how these could be safely sealed and concealed.

They aren't covered.
Image 5 has 4 gaping big holes.

But similar cars of the same year are going for 3-4k more expensive, and on the same tax rate.

Imho and like you say it's not the high tax that's making it that cheap, it is well below what others are advertised at.

That Jag is a petrol though.

Are they petrol models like the one above? You have to take the dreamer factor into account too.

So you're saying cos the other cars are mostly diesel and over 3k more they are dreamers? Each and very one is a dreamer?

And yes I do realise the silver one is petrol..

Anyway leaving it here. This is derailing the thread.

bazz26 · 05-08-2017 11:17PM

I'm saying just because the others ask more doesn't mean that's their market value and yes a 3.0 litre petrol XF will be worth less than a similar 3.0 litre diesel XF.
