I'm kind of looking at 9.5 k due to the other items at the start of this thread abs leaking coolant temp not working full of fluid bald 2 tires front rotor shot body work 5/10 really been run rough ? And an 02 sensor

 

How much are they asking for the STR?

 

9500 sth Carolina buddy of mine

 

Just not sure how much to get the supercharge out and back in think a recon unit is 500 ?

 

Good morning

I've read the codes on this jaguar r P1346
P1646
P1000

The supercharger isn't giving any codes even though its rattling or part of it is,

Can anyone give me a list of things the check before buying a Stype R

Thxs

 

Hi Mr Gross

Thanks for all your advise any more advise before a take the plunge thxs

 

There are existing threads about buying an STR so please just read them.

Buying one with known faults is not for the inexperienced (unless they have deep pockets and don't care about costs, although it would probably still be unwise).

 

Hi thanks for your advise the price is reflective in the condition ie abs leak have a replacement t module the rattle sounds like from a front pulley or nose come of sc unit and the low coolant even when it's full,

 

Charlie, I think what we're suggesting is that the price does NOT necessarily reflect that. $9500 is not necessarily low enough when considering the problems that we're hearing about.

I'll tell you what: I've got an '03 STR that's VERY NICE. it's a solid driving car. No issues (except a squeal from a belt, which I'll rectify the moment my gatorback belt I just ordered arrives). Brand new tires. Integrated Video. silver/black. I'll sell it to you for $10,500. MUCH better idea than spending $9500 on a car with so many known issues.

yes, I'm serious. Let me know if you're interested.

 

Charlie, mcjaguar made you a very generous offer. Otherwise, the rattling noise is likely a worn tensioner pulley bearing or another serpentine pulley bearing. The lack of info. and issues garnered so far from the STR your buddy is trying to pawn on you causes me to believe this is a $7000 STR that you'll likely invest another $3000-$4000.

 

Hi and thanks I'm still negotiating with
My buddy is the tensioner pulley and the serpentine pulley expensive to replace I d agree and if the cost to put this right is more than the 10k the other me will cost I will go for the one which isn't such a dog

 

The parts are not too expensive.

 

Yes cool from what a remember was based on a ford mondeo a water pump is a lot cheaper than my disco will have to save up I took your advise and a jag specialist will be giving the car the once over before I buy here in atlanta

 

That's a good idea Charlie.
