Default New member looking at a 2005 x-type 3.0

and have no idea what to look for or if this is a good idea.

details:

it's loaded - rear sensing, memory front seats, heated seats, looks like has sport package (wheels, painted trim, mesh grill), etc. 51,000 miles, autocheck is a 92, no accidents or anything on there.

BUT - cosmetically it's not pristine - needs a good cut/polish and wax. interior door trim on rear passenger side has 3 little cuts into the plastic just below window - i figure this could be patched fairly well.

one thing that really alarmed me was the rear seat bench was loose. meaning, i was sitting back there and could lift it up in the middle. WTF is that about?

it's at a LR/Jaguar dealer, but they offer no warranty at all, not even a 1 month/3000 mile. it's priced at $10,900. i don't get the pricing, KBB/edmunds/etc all have these cars at like $7k.

any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

I just bought a 2002 x type 3.0 AWD blue 1 owner and I paid 2500 for it yes that says twenty five hundred, I think their price is way to optimistic for my liking. they will send it off to auction and get next to nothing for it so make them a cash offer of around 5 grand and see if they bite

Welcome to the forum!

The rear bench is fairly common, if anyone removes the back seat (for whatever reason) there are two plastic clips which get broken & have to be replaced.

Most people don't replace the clips, & that's why the seat is loose.

FYI part number for the clip is C2S31685 you need two of them.
