Dear forum,

I found the following cars for sale and would like your expert advice on which 1 is the best deal... or should I just spring for the XJR instead? I like the look of the sport trim, especially in platinum silver.

2003 XJ Sport, 102k mi, white/white $8988

2003 XJ Sport, 130k mi, white/black $7950

2003 XJ Sport, 87k mi, platinum/black, $8898

I like the first one with 102k miles if you can bring down the price a notch. I'd say $8k the most...

 

The 3rd one !
White/white one lookes worn down, white/black one has too many Miles.

My advice - Go and test drive one of the white ones first and save the silver one (probably the best of these three) for your last test-drive.
If you feel the difference (in a positive way) get the price down a notch and seal the deal!

Good luck!

Look for an XJR......

 

I agree with sean b, the XJR is the way to go

 

Agreed on the R as well. More durable tranny, metal water housing and of course more power for a few $$$ more (maybe a grand).

 

Make that one more vote for a "R". That's four in a row, but we aren't biased at all!

 

Or less for an XJR. I paid $7500 for my 2001 example with 80,000 but had to immediately spend a grand to update the tensioners and another few hundred to go through the car.

The better transmission makes it a no brainer. XJ8 trannies tend to be on borrowed time not much bast 100k, then there's $3,000 down the drain that you could have put in an XJR.

 

Found a great deal for you via my dealer wholesale site in Hayward, CA.

2001 XJR with 106,000 miles. Can be had for $5900. You can take the savings and spend a grand going through the timing chain tensioners, another 500 through the fluids, and come out with a great car.

Of course get a full PPI on it.

 

Here is a '03 XJ Sport in Portland, a bit pricey, but low mileage.

 

Tyler, that XJR would be a total score if not for the white color - just looks odd on this car for some reason, maybe the balance is thrown by the two-tone interior instead of black? The big chrome rims look amazing!

What is the URL of your dealer wholesale site?
