Default SUPER V8 VDP For Sale

https://www.ebay.com/itm/27318224667...84.m1436.l2649

This is just down the road from me, looks good only 61K, but the $15,000 is much too steep for me

Default Maybe not so steep?

I just got back from a "down-sizing" auction in Hickory, PA where a similarly low-miles XJ8 brought $11,200. It was advertised as a VDP, had such a badge on the boot, but had none of the bling of a VDP-no picnic tables, no heated seats, standard leather, etc. I own a 2001 VDP, so I know what I'm looking at: Nice, low mileage 2000 XJ8 with mesh grill inserts, Platinum with black interior, over 11 grand.

Makes your car look reasonable, eh?

And $15K is just the starting price, reserve has not been met.

With the rarity value I would think that $15-$18K is possible. Will be interesting to see what it goes for if it sells.

Looks like all the money to me. The car is listed as 2 owners .... but ... clearly a dealer selling the car. It would be interesting to see what they paid for it at the auction.

There is a guy in PA that had one about 18 months ago for 15k ... less miles. He seems to find nice ones -- the mid atlantic being a big market for Jaguars.

The specifications in his eBay ad says it has a 4.2 L supercharged engine. It would be cool if that were true! I checked he VIN though and of course it's a 4.0 L.

Auction ended with $17,100 being the highest bid, which didn't meet the reserve price.

That's why I said " looked like all the money" .. one wonders what he is waiting for? looking at the carfax -- there is an obvious owner change. So, this guy is the third owner ... I have never understood people who buy cars and fix them (I see parts purchases in his feedback) but don't think of themselves as an owner?

I buy a lot of stuff on e-abay ... have no idea what the charge to sell a car.

15k buys lots of interesting cars
