Hello fellow Jag enthusiasts:

I was notified by a neighbor this morning that a "98 XK coupe, silver over black, 24k miles, is for sale.
Car has not been started since the owner's death in June 2016. Of course battery was kaput...but overall the car shines, upholstery is VG as are tires and it has chrome wheels.
Check with my tech who suggests something in the area of $800 to $1k to get the thing up and running, WITHOUT any major problems.
Suggested items were: Drain gas tank, flush lines. If major tar build up drop tank and flush. Check injectors...repair tank as necessary.
Drain and replace brake fluid and radiator fluids. Check all electrics for charging etc. Install new battery (HD @ $154) check all safety equipment, brakes, horn, wipers etc.
Test drive. I do have Triple A ..all tow, so I can get it to the shop w/o cost...but.
What about check for chain tensioner replacement? Necessary with only 24k miles?
What should I offer for this vehicle,,,assuming I can get by with the $1k in needed immediate maintenance items.
THANK YOU ALL FOR ANY HELP.
