Ive run upon an opportunity to buy a 2010 XKR Its a Repossession due to engine failure.

I was able to look the car over outside and in cabin. Excellent condition. Did not look under the hood. Will do that tomorrow.

What I would ask is some ballpark guesses as to value. Im a little bit spooked at a value estimation on one site at Private Sale valuation at about $15K.

Feedback appreciated. Pictures attached. I did do a quick call to an engine recycler and got a $9200 number for a 2010 56,000 mile engine

 

If you do all the work yourself, including hours of programming using the Jaguar SDD software, you may break even on valuation.
It's MUCH easier to just go buy a running car for $25,000
This actually sucks, because my son's 2007 XKR evidently just blew up, and cost to have everything replaced was quoted at $24,500. He bought it for just over $20k, used his only $10k for a down, and still owes $10k on the loan. He is totally skrood.

 

At $15k too high if it’s in need of an engine however often times rare cars are worth more for their parts than their whole.

Keep in mind as a 5.0 litre, it’s going to need a fair bit of maintenance though a lot easier and less costly with engine out.

Unless you could get it for say $5-6k you’re better off finding a good one for $25k.

 

Ha, great minds think alike…….

 

I was just 30 seconds faster

 

If it was a rare color, it would be worth the effort above to save it. But grey? There’s too many of them out there already. Save your time, money, and mind, and find a running one.

 

Really wasnt looking to buy, I was working with my breaker to get parts and thought this car coming in was a wrecked unit..

When it showed up today, I was taken aback as he bought it off a repossession auction with a clean title.

My bet and best guess from some info I got from his inventory guy is hes gonna want in excess of $9K for it.

As much as I enjoy bringing cars back to life , I dont really need this one. A quick review of some of these for sale ran between $20K and $30K depending a lot on mileage.

This one Im not sure but think its in the 95K range.

I guess Im Spoiled. The 07 I have I paid $4500 and put $1500 in it and its back to 98% functionality. Add a set of tires and fix the stupid airbag light and we are done. at 91k mileage.

Thanks for the feedback. I was really pumped , till reality slapped me around.

 

The only logical buyer for that is a 2010 XKR owner who has one with severe accident damage. Insurance settlement together with salvage gives the opportunity to certainly break even and probably to make a small profit using the accident vehicle as powertrain donor.

However, Jaguar parts are rapidly disappearing from inventory with body and trim parts becoming almost unobtainable. Less grief and more profit in breaking it.

On a related note, my son now has a perfectly wonderful 2007 XKR coupe with a **** engine. Anyone want to buy it?

 

last i checked,you can get a brand new engine for like $10k.The only thing is labor.You can get an upfront price at the cost on everything that will be the exact price you pay for labor and everything once you get the cost amount from the dealership to replace the engine for you if you bought it

 

Yes but when you add the price of the car plus labour plus everything else which would need to be done you’re in for more than the price of a properly sorted one at retail.

 

My curosity got the better of me today as I took my scan tools to the car and ran a scan,

Out of 32 modules , 28 reported issues , mostly cannot communicate.

Had to use a Huge jump setup with 2 12v batts charged up.

Votts to the system showed 12.5 thru the OBD port.

When I just turn on the ignition , every thing comes on as should. Service Required message shows in center display and thats it.

Verified that EPB was working and it was. Firm push on the brake pedal and try to start. I hear a single click then nothing. OBD does not report real time any current drop as if the starter was jammed or engine bound up. Just a light click. Very repeatable.. No flashing anything on cluster.
My scanner let me down and did not save the scan, Im going back tomorrow and repeat. Then Im considering disconnecting the battery and doing the touch reset.

PIC OF CLUSTER - ANY THOUGHTS ?



BTW he wants $10.5 for the car.

 

$10,500 for car +
$10,000 for engine +
$5,000 for labor, or +
$2,000 if you do it yourself +
$?,??? for anything you don't expect =
Call it $25,000 for a 100,000 mile car, which may need bushes, bearings and other stuff. Brakes? Transmission? Alignment? Power Steering? Air Conditioning???
You can buy a sorted one for $25,000, so unless it's a hobby project, you'd be daft.
Now if you already HAD an engine, that'd be totally different.

 

You said engine failure…. Wouldn’t that explain why it won’t turn over??????

But in all seriousness, if you didn’t know that I’d see why you’d go down the rabbit hole.

So, how was it originally diagnosed? If you could find out more about its history you MIGHT be able to make an educated decision.

The 5.0 liter’s a very delicate engine, timing chain could’ve jumped or failed, coolant system could’ve failed and overheated the block, piston could’ve failed, starved for oil, etc etc.

As I said originally and as Graham reiterated at this point the parts are worth more than the whole so if you’re prepared to break it you MIGHT recoup your investment and then some.

 

That sounds correct💯Doing all that will turn out to be the same price as a used 1 either a little more or a little less depending on the mileage and can probably come across a last generation model for the price u get done fixing this 1 back.It seems like it's marked down $10k off the Value you can buy 1 for cause it's going to cost $10k to fix it back to its normal price

 

If you was any kind of Jag Mechanic,this could possibly be a steal for you.But you don't have a real quote of what u willing to pay to fix it when it could turn out to be more to fix it than what u bought it for,and i say don't take the risk and believe you better off at getting you a last Gen model if it costs too much to fix it back.My 2013 XKR got 190mph on the dash which means the 2012-2015 XKR are probably faster than the 2010-2011 XKR

 

Did a final assessment today. Nothing electrical made any difference.

Put the car up in the air with a fork lift. Attached a long handle breaker bar and socket onto the crank bolt.

No go. Will not budge.

Im done. Shop will start dismantling it soon. Hate to see it but there it is.

 

I was going to suggest that (turn the crank manually) but you already know your stuff. If you have space, consider a low ball offer and part it out?

 

Please provide me a link to a brand new 5L engine at $10K, thx.

 

Buy a new F-Type, that'd be one way. Or a Land Rover.
OTHERWISE:
Remanufactured ones...
