Default Time to say goodbye to my Super V8

With the three kids and sports gear etc SUV now required. I am having a hard time getting some consistent valuation though on the car. Hoping to get some feedback here. It is a 2008 Black on Cream. 63K miles. Truly in mint condition - no accidents/ fully maintained etc. The car inside and out really does not look more than 6 months old. There are so few out there - it is very difficult to get a price estimate and the trade in values are crazy low. I was thinking $18K US is a very reasonable price? Any thoughts?

It must be your advert I saw in the Toronto Auto Trader. Just out of curiosity how long have you owned it?

Yes - That is the same one. I have had it since 18K miles. I purchased it from Ray Catena as a certified pre-owned. I hate to see it go as I think it really is one of the best looking sedans out there and is such a fantastic ride.

18k US sounds very reasonable. Tried to look it up on the website, unable to locate.

You may want to post a description in the for sale section so that we may take a look.

Thanks

Yeah that's very reasonable, considering mileage & car... Believe it or not, I look daily still, @ xj8's (06'-09') just for the fun of it...

I do the same. I really wanted a Super V8, but their rarity made me settle (if you can say that about a Jaguar) for an XJL.

I couldn't post in the classifieds initially as I am a new member - but can now and just placed the ad there. It is a US car - but with me in Ontario Canada. Happy to hear your thoughts.

Hi sg997tt,

some of the dealers listed on Autotrader have the price at $22,500 USD. for a 2008 Super V8 with 90k kms./55 miles. Your price seems very reasonable.

best of luck!

Keep in mind that Jags are "special interest" cars and as such are rarely a quick sale. Place your add in as many venues as you can, ignore the low ball vultures, price it fairly and about 3 to 5 months later it will sell.
