I have always done 90% of my shopping via ebay...But since I have bought the jaguar My wife has deemed me "King of Ebay"

Here are some of the purchases I have made via Ebay for the Jag.

2005 s type 4.2---Ebay price $6,000
S type painted rear spoiler---- $85.00
Borg Warner o2 sensor -----$19.95
Cd repair manual----$1.92
Clear side repeaters---$11.16
Like new 2006 steering wheel---$125
Headlight chrome rings--$40
Brand new Delphi o2 sensor retail $249----bought for $40.00
a set of 8 Denso ignition coils from a 2005 with 52,000 miles---$12.00 a piece
a set of 8 Brand new in unopened Jaguar factory packages fuel injectors--$99.00 total.

There are alot of other bits and pieces but you kinda get the idea why she deemed this title on me..

Am I addicted?

 

Only if you are addicted to saving money

 

Excellent work Your Highness.

In the view of this court jester, thou hast rationalized ye olde addiction rather well by saving many a shilling.

 

Wow, an 05 for 6 grand. Might I ask how many miles?

 

it had right at 100,000... but actually looked awesome for the miles on it.

 

All hail the king!!!!

I have purchased 3 out of 4 of our last vehicles off Ebag including Joyces Jag. There are some great deal-ie-oohhsss out there.

 

Huh. Maybe I ought to go take a gander.

 

ebay CAN be addictive...I love coming home not knowing if I have a package waiting on my doorstep!

 

Nope... I'm probably much worse because I buy AND sell there. Mostly laptops, iphones and other electronics. I'm starting to get into craigslist as well. It's a toss up as far as if it's better to deal with ebay / paypal / shipping vs local people.

Which spoiler did you buy? Pics?

Thanks,

George

 

Painted Jaguar S Type Trunk Lip Spoiler 01 08 00 AMB - eBay (item 400193203213 end time Mar-07-11 03:22:37 PST)





I'll try and take better pics of the spoiler on.

 

Looks good, I think Rick has the same one.

I NEED to find pics of it on the older 03 Trunk.

Out of curiosity, do you remember how long it took from wehn you ordered for it to arrive?

Take care,

George

 

I just bought the same spoiler for my '05 from Ameba!!! How did you mount it? are there specs or did you eye-it-up? I want mine to be perfect.

Also can you send a link for the repair manual on CD? I would really like that as well.

Thanks

 

With the exception of the purchase of a single car,(sold on ebay) every other vehicle transactiuon I have made since 2002 has been through ebay, and 95% of parts as well. Actually come to think of it. 95% of everything I buy/sell is on ebay...it is addictive... feedback is at 570 right now.
most expensive transaction $ 22,000
least expensive 99 cents. I had placed a bit on an upgrade for my AMG at the time and then forgot to track...to my surprise it never got bid on again.. 99 cents for a $ 180 retail item !

 

achysklic looks great, nice job!

One more purchase off ebag for you though:



YEAH BABY tail light bezels (chrome)

 

Screw the car & spoiler I'd like to have the log home out on my ranch in California!

If there only were employment nearby ...

 

Here's the cd link
JAGUAR S- TYPE 1999 00 2004 SERVICE REPAIR SHOP MANUAL - eBay (item 200523453540 end time Apr-22-11 19:19:14 PDT)

The spoiler is attached via 3m tape. I just used a tape measure and to measure where to put it.. It took me 3 mins to install.

 

Yeah I am gonna get those, did you ever order those chrome fog light bezels?

 

Matt, I am surrounded by all sorts of wildlife, and regularly arrive home to all sorts of un-ordered packages on the step. It aint great, believe me. lol

I agree, Jag looks great, but I would really like to see an outward looking shot from that veranda. Please.

 

 

Definitely local.

Shipping is a killer, especially when the seller pulls the old trick of printing a shipping label so the tracking number shows up, but then waits several days before physical shipment.

Ebay from a local seller who allows pickup is good.
