If you've got plenty of time and not a stress person and don't mind frustration sounds great

Owned my X350 since 13 and spent $1900 because some moron decided to jump start the motor and fried the electric's while it was in storage from 2016 to 2019

Picked it up late 2019 it spent from 9/01/2021 till the 15th may 21 waiting for parts and diagnosis lucky my Indy is a legend he charged me $1100 for all the labour while it took up space while I sourced part's

The $2500 price is tempting
​​​​Caveat emptor

I'd buy it for parts lol

Thank you everyone for your input!!
As they say about cars in such condition:
"Run, don't walk"

Idk where you're situated, but this example happened to be nearby when I checked FB Marketplace. 2005 XJ8-L for $5,500 in seemingly decent condition. I bought a cheap Jag... It's been quite expensive!

You might try some of these tools, as well:

https://www.searchcraigslist.org/
​​​​https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/c...318284136.html
$7,200 for a 2004 XJR
https://carsandbids.com/auctions/KZR...008-jaguar-xj8
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-jaguar-xjr-8/
(Bring a Trailer tends to bid too high for me)

I like the 01 VDP for a thousand dollars. Quite different cars, but I have one of each and I wouldn't want to be without either one. 2 Jags make you an enthusiast!
