Points to look for on an XJS. My views are as follows:

GREG,
"Like marriage..........". WE know the good ones dont we Greg. XJ-S's included. |
Here you go Mate, got your name written all over it!
this is what you want a car where the previous owners spent mega dollars fixing the bugs for you and selling at a complete loss, and its in your state! Like all second hand cars you must look at it first. Jaguar XJS H E 1985 2D Coupe 3 SP Automatic 5 3L Multi Point F INJ | eBay |
Are the photos of the same car. First few pics show a leaper on the hood, last photo has a growler badge. Nice car
|
can't imagine two cars in the same color would have that same clunky pin striping and cell phone (?) antenna?
the leaper probably added by the owner... the photos with the growler do look like some kind of small dealership/mechanic. maybe both are included in the sale? |
It does look like hail damage in the window close up shot, I wonder what the rest of the car looks like on closer inspection?
|
I noticed that too, it didnt click that it was hail damage until you mentioned that. Good catch. We dont get hail like that here. Ouch. The car could be dimpled too.
|
Definatly not worth much if it hail damage,if the side is that bad the top has has had major repairs done.
|
hail damage in a cars history can be a problem in the eyes of some insurance companies. I know of some who will not provide cover even after the damage is fixed.
|
Heh guys. Ive finally got my jag. Im now the proud owner of a 1985 XJS (see signature)
She's the Blue Goose Thanks for all the input. Talk real soon around the forums. Got much to learn |
Well done Paul, enjoy your car!
|
thanks bud!
|
Good for you
