Love it! There were only ever a handful of them sold here. And I've never before seen one for sale for a reasonable price. This ad is 2 hours old now, I doubt the car will still be for sale this time tomorrow

Best of luck to both the seller and the buyer

If only it wasn't powered by the black fuel.

15 available on autotrader.co.uk. 4 on carandclassic. So rare all round. Comparing prices & mileage with the one above it is a very good buy..
Wish I was in the market..!

I'd be a bit suspect of the seller's other adds

Well, it is a V6 and not a bad engine at all in fairness.

Here is an interesting review:

Jeayzis, I like this machine. It is in a class of its own, isn't it?

The issue I see with a C6 is finding someone able to maintain one of these in Ireland.

The C6 equivalent of what George Dalton is for VAG owners

Stunning car thought - and surely a future classic in the making if the cars survive long term

unkel · 07-02-2015 03:24PM

C6 sold...

Thoughts on this?

Linky

Nearly half a million kilometers!!!

In Galway...I wonder was that silver 07 730d that was running on its own engine oil at the lights at Briarhill junction last year, revving like a b@stard and it wouldn't knock off with the key, and wouldn't stall cos of the auto....

unkel · 07-02-2015 11:08PM

Runaway? :eek:

Thanks for reminding me never even to think again of buying a diesel

That said, I probably would have been more than happy with that C6. Best of luck to the new owner!

Anyone for a NCT'd until Jan 16 728i?

Is there any possible way I could buy that and use it without the wife knowing?

obviously he must be australian as the pic are upside down.

RANT on:
this drives me nuts ,some one wants to sell a car and they either put up crap pictures( taken in the dark or rain) or cant figure out the correct way to use a camera.

Rant off

Nice car mind

To be fair decent indys aren't as hard to find as some people think.

I mean someone who understands the C6 - rather then Indys generally.

They are a VERY rare car - so youd figure very few people have worked on them on this country.

Unless ive missed something - I perceive them to be a complex car

Low mileage tidy looking XJ8 with new test for cheap.

Irish motoring journo Bob Flavin gets a break from his usual reviews of diesel sh1tbox Hyundais and the likes and drives an '03 Jaguar XJ8

I had to replay the price of that Jag 3 times 4,995 ! :eek:

Mmm, you can tell he's rather unsure of his ground. Little bit saucily-priced, I'd say somewhere between €3,500-€4,000 would be more like it depending on mileage. That traction control issue is most likely a wheel-speed sensor BTW - €150 will sort it.

Old diesel · 20-02-2015 03:13PM

Would it have been that hard to do a bit of research on the XJ8 before driving it????

I know Sinead had her notes in the passenger seat - but even so.

I think it was meant to be a "fun piece" rather then a serious review like his normal new car reviews

cadaliac · 20-02-2015 03:49PM

Even so - Bangernomics, it is not @ that price.

BTW,
Sinead is hot.

I think she seems a bit zoned out there. More into the 0-60 times etc (which we know is going to be more than adequate) than the nuts and bolts of the relative value of the car - which the piece is meant to be about. I'd forgive her all that though as shes well fit!

Duke O Smiley · 21-02-2015 10:31AM

She's alright

Did he call it an XK8?

Yes - Sinead corrected him on it as well

Re Sinead and the piece - my interpretation is that Bob is supposed to be the main man.

And Sinead found him the car (shes from Cars Ireland) - so that was her bit done.

I think

In all fairness though - as another poster points out - its NOT bangernomics at that price.

Nice car though

Before I bought my 7 -Series I came very close to buying a 2003 one of these in blue. I remember because it was a V8 and I had a moment where I had a hankering for one. I'm pretty certain it's the same car....

It was for sale privately with no NCT, it was hovering around the €2k mark. I'm not certain tis the same but I'm fairly confident.
