To be very clear, I don't know this person (or car) but it seems like a wonderful deal for the right person.
Had I not picked my own XJ8 up last week I would almost certainly have picked this up instead (timing I guess)

Looks like an excellent buy, maybe this thread will help a forum member looking within that neighborhood.

 

omg, I thought I was looking at my own car as it's totally identical! Same model year, same interior and exterior color combo and same asteroid wheels

And I live not even far away!

 

Whereabouts are you? I am in Orange County!

 

Westchester, just like that seller. I actually said hi to him last night.

 

Very cool, my wife used to work in Tarrytown. Did he sell the car? Seemed like a great deal

 

I am in Rockland, middle ground.

 

Nice, I lived in Nanuet for a few years before we moved up here.

 

Funny this was posted here, I just saw that car while browsing FB through my wife's account last night. I sold my 03 XJR R1 last summer and have missed it since (never should have sold it to be honest). Sold it because we had our first daughter in August and with so many other cars/projects I just had to clear some space and my head for a bit. I still really don't have the time and need another car like a hole in the head, but this car does seem like a good deal and I can't resist the color combo. I messaged him last night and asked a few questions, we'll see where it goes.

 

I feel like we all live not far apart from each other?

Am I feeling right on this?

 

I'm down in PA, just north of Philadelphia in Bucks County so not too close. About 2 hours from you guys.

 

Did you get it?

 

I assume you're asking me Stuart? Still waiting to hear back from the owner. We chatted a bit and I asked about the tensioners being done just out of curiosity. He said he didn't know and would find out and get back. I told him I was just curious and it didn't matter (I can just do them myself), but haven't heard back yet.

The more I think about the car the more I want it and want to get back into a Jag again (really miss my 03). Going to try and get in touch again and hopefully make plans to go see it/buy it. I absolutely love the color, it's always been my favorite.

 

I live in Westchester and UK IN NY lives in Orange NY.

 

That's great, not too far away. You guys are much closer to this Jag than I. With a 6 month old (our first) it's tough enough just to get out of the house, let alone take a 4 hour round trip to buy a car, wish it were closer to me. Would probably already be in the garage...
