FYI ... Already at $26K with 6 hours to go.

What the heck kind of wheels are those though?

 

Well, my paranoia goes up exponentially when I see 12K miles and 4 (!) owners, the last 3 of which occurred since 2019 (15 mos and 11 mos). But the CFax and maintenance record mileage seems to track. Pics look good.

I can see they're in serious buyer bidding though. Wonder what it'll close out at?

 

More than it's worth.

 

Some people think Low Miles are The Cat's Pajamas, regardless of the age.
Me, I sometimes think.... how long did it sit broken? A car on blocks for six years will usually have way low miles.

 

Every damn bushing in the car is reaching end of life after 15 years. Of course Minnesota isn't hot and dry, so they might be in better shape.

 

Or ... the low mileage is because ....

It was driven only on Sundays by a little old lady a quarter-mile at a time!

 

$33.5. I hope it really was a 12K car.

 

That's asinine. I hope it really was a $12,000 car.

 

I watched this auction closely since my car should come up sometime next week on BAT. The car looks quite good EXCEPT for those wheels!! One of the bidders did mention that oem wheels would cost $650 each IF you could find them. The bidding held at $26,000 overnight and then two bidders fought it up to $33,500 NOT including the 5% buyer's auction premium. Apparently, the mileage made all the difference in this sale. Makes me wonder what it would have done without the wheels?

 

It was fast and furious at the last minute, a bidding war of egos! That's what every seller dreams for!

 

The same price, at that level the bidders weren't being rational. I bet the seller is going to have a nice celebratory dinner this evening.

I was checking out car gurus and others recently, there is a softening of the market.

 

It's hard to believe that somebody paid about 40% of its original price in 2007. Just in the bushing replacements, assuming they're necessary after 15 years, that's another two or three k. Of course if the buyer's DIY, and he does his own press-in's, it's probably about 5-6 hundred bucks for the bushings alone if they find OEM substitutes for Jags ridiculous pricing.

 

They are Coventry Holbrook wheels in gloss black with machined edges. They are out of stock everywhere.

Funny. When I look at the car from the side that's all I see. Way over the top for my taste.

 

For sure. I bought mine with 18k on the clock and had to replace the battery, water pump and a tire right off the bat. In reality more like standard MX items known to XK owners.

Funny thing about Jag Wheels, they are either stupid expensive or cant give them away.

They built a ladder 'on the top' for these wheels. Surprised they dont blink or have spinny things attached. But to each their own. New owner will either spend a small fortune on wheels or get some great wheels on the cheap from a person who is sick of looking at them taking up space in the garage.

 

😂😂😂😂

 

owning nothing but Jags for the past 30 years I can say, nope. Being in Minnesota won't spare the bushings.

Not for this forum but there's an 08 XJ8 here locally going for $29,900 with 4900 original miles. Bushings fluid changes and hoses will raise that up a few more grand.
Perdy car but I see nothing but trouble from an unused vehicle.
