I'm an x351 and x150 owner. Out of the loop on x350s. What is going on?

Edit - Didn't see the last one was still active. It looks nicer than the previous car so wonder where it will go. I'd guess less, there can't be three people willing to overpay by more than $100k on these things.

Hah! "Overpay" is the understatement of the year 😂

My 2008 was much higher mileage but I bought it 3 yrs ago for $5000

I think someone who loves this model/era and has gadzillions in the bank account is buying them up. Maybe going to start an Uber Black Jag service

Everything is telative of course... If my net worth was $300,000,000, I would not even blink at dropping $100,000 for a $15,000 car if it was really what I wanted

Just theories (jealous ones!)

These are all Portfolios. What makes a x350 portfolio nice?

I have the same engine in my XKR and while it's definitely a nice engine it sure isn't 100k nice.

No clue what makes them so special honestly. They only imported 140 to the US, but its still just an X350 with an XJR engine, some tray tables and screens in the headrest (which most Super V8s and VDPs have anyway). That blue interior is god awful also - did they all come with that?

I would think whoever is buying these doesnt care about money so good for them if that's what they want. I just can't help but think of all the awesome cars you can get for $150k and an X350 would not be one of them.

All of the x350 (2004-2009) Super V8's, XJR's, or Portfolio's are simply a sweet package. Old school Jaguar looks with a modern chassis/electronics.

More money than brains, an unknown situation to me.
