hey everybody my name is John from Michigan, I am looking at a grey 2005 Jaguar S Type R 4.2 supercharged. Currently has 137000 miles. Carfax shows it has been in 2 accidents, both were minor.the guy was asking 8500 but is willing to take 6500.

I basically know nothing about these cars except the little research I have done on the specs. Is there anything I should look out for? It seems like a great deal but can be a gamble.

The guy that currently owns it now has only owned it a few months, he said his brother works at a dealership and he basically just paid the trade in value that the dealership was going to give the guy which was 5500. I am kind of skeptical as to why he is selling to sell for so cheap or it just may be that he doesn't care to make too much on the car.

The car blue books for 8,800 in good condition. He says all it needs is a wind shield which is about $300 for the cars. Any help or tips or anything else would be appreciated. I am kind of lost it almost seems like a steal at 6500 but I may be wrong.

Should I hurry and jump on it or take my time.
