I'd call a salvage yard, ask what they would pay for it, and offer him $50 more.

The body work can be really really expensive! Who would want to be seen in a beat-up Jag???

My two cents worth...

Thanks for sharing!

1st one: offer to take it for free

2nd one: have driven a few lumps, but would own an I6 first. wrong 3rd brake lamp, tasteless chrome vents on the wings. who knows what other lurid surprises lurk in the cabin. pass

3rd one: I've said before that I'm a $3k XJS guy, and this looks fairly unmolested. If I were within a couple hours driving distance I might check it out if I thought they'd let it go for for $1k.

4th one: right color, wrong everything else. pass

Being mine has a few issues itself, I put a call in on it and asked BEFORE they turn it into a rectangular block of recycle metal to call me because there are a few things I want to strip off it. IE the locks... Mine have been all drilled out, and there have been a few on this site who say they have one they are parting out, but I can NEVER get any response back on if/ how much/ or anything. So being this one is just a 150 miles North of me, I would be MORE THAN HAPPY to head up there and pull them off myself.

It's definitely cool to post links of cars you find. I meant would somebody post pictures of the linked cars for posterity.
