Ok.

Am a 04-09 Xj fan.

Am looking at a(nother) 2005 super v8 this weekend.

55K miles
Silver with black interior
(Below) average documentation

What's the number that makes sense?

I've looked at the KBB and the edmunds, what do you all think?

Thanks-
Mag

 

Just bought same car. Red with beige interior. 99,000 miles. local one owner CARFAX. paid $11,000. California car. I replaced 2 tires that were mismatched and one broken left motor mount after purchase.

 

Make sure you floor it and keep it floored for a little while on the test drive. Then use the brakes rather hard to check for brake shudder.

 

Thanks GT.

One owner California? Fantastic.

Good find.

Well you tear em apart and rebuild em as good as anyone. Bring your code reader with you.


Low miles and poor records cancel each other out IMO - price even to book, all other things being equal.

unless more than two owners with low documentation, than doc trumps low mileage. price - 1 to book

Silver with Black common color, not sure of the resale impact of that. call it even to book.

Condition of bushes and air ride....

 

Thanks Wags, all good points well taken.

So did you make the purchase Mags?

 

No, did not.

In my review, "previous Florida car" translated into lots of sun, sand and salt water air.

Lots of corrosion on the grounding points in the trunk; that was what I could see, what lurked beyond?...

Corrosion on the black window trims; hadn't really seen that before...

Made an offer low enough to be safe.

Thanks-

 

06 Port currently on eBay.

Talking to seller and trying to come to terms with 2800 mile round trip...

Anyone in OKC want to preview this for me?

Thanks
