    Moving a big heavy luxurious car requires a confidently powerful engine, which is a large CC block of some sort. An A8 with a 2.0litre engine wouldnt be very serene*.


    * Yes I know they are planning a mega charged 4pot for the A8..

    For the record, that was an unbiased both sides description.
    I wouldn't buy a Luxobarge without it being absolute top spec and engine, what's the point otherwise? :)

    A Luxobarge is a full sized, well equipped large engined car. It should also be good looking too IMO so an E65 don't count. ;)

    That was posted here recently. And I reckon its definitely one to miss. Looks rough enough (back bumper) and I wouldn't touch the early E65 with a barge pole to be honest.

    I'm not a fan, and I wouldn't buy one. They are rapidly decreasing in price though, and no doubt they'll be in bangernomics territory soon!

    Spend another €2-3k on a facelift kit and you got yourself hell of a bargain.

    And you can sell the old parts on DoneDeal!

    Parts needed:

    Front:
    - E66 Bonnet
    - E66 Grille
    - E66 Wings
    - E66 Front Bumper
    - E66 Headlights
    - E66 Side Indicators

    Rear:
    - E66 Tailgate
    - E66 Tailgate Lights
    - E66 Rear Bumper
    - E66 Taillights.

    Three points on that:

    1. If you're paying €3,000 extra for a facelift, you're up on the price of a real facelifted car

    2. You still have the unreliability of the earlier car, most of which was sorted in the facelift

    3. In Ireland it doesn't make a bit of difference as the reg plate with the year on tends to be a giveaway.

    Can you actually buy an E66 for €5k?

    You can buy one for 6k.

    Facelifting an older 7'er would be absolute lunacy. Keep the extra cash for the electrical nightmare that will inevitably hound you, if you really want one.

    But just like the early CL, they're best avoided altogether.

    COOLED seats! Very rare option in this country :D Don't think you'll lose much on depreciation either.

    No to go off topic but I'm seriously considering getting one of these when my S60 finally gives up the ghost and sticking in an LPG conversion. I drive 30k miles a year so I can't run a petrol but I reckon I could live with the LPG running costs and I can't think of a nicer place to drive those miles (more research to be don yet).

    What's the chances that this final version of the classic xj shape will be a car worth holding onto?

    Says it's an ex-embassy car, should be well maintained if it is.

    Why would someone get an E320 and get it in Classic spec?

    I love the way it's posted under vintage cars. I sometimes wonder if DoneDeal has the most retards of any Irish website. Probably a draw with the "swap for my ad" asshats on Adverts.

    Aren't vintage ads on DoneDeal only €3 where a regular car for sale ad is €5? So maybe less retard and more scabby git ;)

    Is there a way of finding out if it actually was an embassy car?
    Seems like very vert basic spec to be one, not even LWB. Magnificent find? Hmmmmm
