Hi,

I bought a 99 XJR with 134k miles. It seems to be in great condition with fuel pumps recently done and timing tensioner.
I paid $2300 for it, which was the best deal of my life thus far.

I also have a 67 giulia super and a 03 mini cooper S.
Each has their own charm. The jag is awesome, but the mini is a great track/sporting car. The Alfa is in its own world of coolness and not comparable to either

So anyways, I am here to figure out some little issues with the car so that i can get on with enjoying it to the max!

Welcome from me too.

A '99 XJR for 2.3K ? That's one really great buy. Did it come with seats and an engine and all that stuff?

Seriously nice car. Enjoy.

The XJR is looking very good for 134K miles and a lot of car for $2300. The Alfa is also looking much younger than its 47 years.
