Default 89 xjs potential purchase. Weigh in.
This car is in great condition. It has a GM V8 with a corvette rear end. AC, ABS brakes. Not sure of who modified it. Odo says 145k Price 6k. Too much risk from the unknown? Anyone guestimate gas mileage?

I don’t think reported mileage of 145k for 89 is very suspicious. Two of my Jags had lower mileage despite being older (‘85 and ‘86)

gas mileage: depends on when was the last time the car was tuned. My guess is 15 to 20 mpg

It's like any conversion, it depends on how well it was done.

How can it be in "great condition" when it's missing an engine?
