Smile Gladiators...I salute you!

I'm a new member of this forum and proud owner of a 2001 XJ8 VDP. I live in NW Pennsylvania and drive an 18 wheeler for a living. I bought the vehicle of the eBay for $5,600 + $ 450 to get it home from Florida some time next week. It was a "side" deal, outside the eBay and I haven't seen/drive the car yet, only pics and sellers word/feedback. Please take a moment and check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...AQ:MOTORS:1123
I trust you will be a fair judge...Thanks and hope to talk to you soon but not regarding vehicle problems.

Welcome to the forum,

Received the car late last evening. Runs great, very quiet motor and smooth shifting transmission. Brand new Continental tires all around and very clean...as clean as new. All leather in perfect condition but very dry; dash, buttons and the rest of the interior in mint condition (driver's side sunvisor - clip busted). No rust at all, all fluids normal. I got two remotes, two keys (black/dark green) and all the books that come with a new car.
A few minor problems that I wasn't aware of, but nothing to worry (I hope):
1. Front doors speakers making buzzing noise
2. Check rear lights message when applying brakes
3. Glove box won't stay closed - PLEASE HELP - locking rod/s not sliding
4. Frond doors pockets - the cloth is coming off - cheap adhesive?
5. Steering wheel tilting only - making noise when trying to move in/out
6. Driver's head rest - cable making noise and moving very slow
If you have any knowledge regarding the above defects, please help.
Thank you!

welcome meaculpa! for some more help, find your correct section for the XJ you own, and ask a single question (or maybe two, depending on the complexity) into a new thread, you'll get alot more visibility than in this new member area.

good luck!
