I didn't know that they made XJ8's in 95, is that just a typo? In my opinion, (which may not be worth too much) whenever you buy from a dealer, you're always going to pay more. Is there any history included with the car? I'm guessing that they want $4999.99 let us know LOOKS good in pictures! I don't particularly like the huge wheels though. kinda resembles a pimp mobile. SLAP, did I say that?

Pretty car. Too bad about the pimp-your-ride wheels. They ruin the entire look.

Cheers

Has anyone noticed that the XJR's are holding their value slightly better that the other models. This VDP on "Kelley blue book" in excellent condition has a book value thru a dealer of $3900. The same year XJR in excellent condition from a dealer books for $6200. The tough part is finding an X300 XJR that hasn't been beaten and neglected. Sometimes I think I should have gone with a straight XJ. They get better mileage, they have a nicer ride, the tires aren't as expensive to replace, and it's easier to find a good one, and when you do find one..it's less money than an XJR. The real difference is the power, and I can hardly use it where I live. It is fun doing those 0-60 sprints, (well maybe 0-80) but..... weighing the pros and cons...........

I'd run the VIN, and see what comes up. If it was me, I'd stay away from that car, because of the miles and ridiculous wheels. Nice color combo though, and like has already been mentioned, it's not an XJ8, it's an XJ6 VDP. Running the VIN will tell you for sure.
