Default 1998 XJR Parts Car on Copart

I was considering bidding on this car for a parts car. I need a windshield, some interior parts, really liked the rims, understand XJRs have a LSD. Also, my hood has clear coat lifting and my trunk has a dent. If the hood and truck on this one were in good shape, I would have swapped.
It's got a salvage/parts only title. Flood damage with water mark inch or two above rocker panels. Engine ran when reached auction.
Decided against in when figured out the broker/auction/transportation fees would add between $850 and $1200 to the price. It's located about 60 miles from my home. Even though I have the ability to get it with my truck a car trailer, auction terms require that only a professional transporter can pick up.
Thought I put up the link in case anyone else is interested. I'd buy the parts off them that they didn't want.

There are no X100 or X308 Jaguars with LSD from the factory.
The last factory Jaguars fitted with LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIALS were the XJ-S and the X300 series sedans.

I bought my first xj8 on Copart $425 won the auction but that wasn’t it by the time I paid $60 for the gate fee and all of the other fees it was $705 out the gate I have never been around any Jaguars before and just thought I’d give it a try I like the pictures turned out it needed a transmission and seats. Other than that it is a good car and I still have it two years later. I now have 10 of them three of them are parts cars I still watch Copart but I find that craigslist is a much better place. Some of the parts cars were as low as $200 the other one $400 and $1000 yeah I always look at what parts are good on it and what I need. A new battery or a good battery is a plus so as a set a tires? I have considered taking a windshield out but I didn’t want to do it until I knew if it was able to be put back in a new one somewhere saying that they were brittle?
