I am scouring Canada and USA for a black coupe
came across this one. Price seems high? Or am I missing something.

Nothing descriptive indicating it's a particularly special model. Perhaps a gold bar in the trunk?

It seems excessively highly priced to me. I'd call and inquire as to the history and condition

there are some lovely black coupes down here in the states. You could buy a half dozen and hire a transport to haul them up for this price. Don't know about impot fees and taxes. That might make you cut back to 3-4.

You might find the following helpful. The most expensive XJS coupe currently listed on Hemmings.com (a leading collector car site) is listed at $19,995 from a dealer in the U.S:

https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...s/1953748.html

It also has exceptionally low miles, though not quite as low as the one you are asking about, but still very low relative to age.

Just a word of caution, low miles on the XJS is a double edged sword. It's one thing if it was only driven on nice days, but regularly. It's another if it sat unused at all. These cars hate being ignored, and will take revenge.

Cheers
