Car looks nice in the pic but I'm not sure about too many cars with 100k+ miles let alone a jag. Is there any kind of extended warranty?

Even though I only plan on having the car for 2 years, there is no way i wouldn't purchase a fidelity extended warranty if one wasn't offered with the car as is

With a warranty it's a heck of a deal.

For a comparison, I bought an '07 XKR Convertible in January of 2010 with 60,000 miles on it. That average out about 20,000 miles per year. Generally when a car is driven that amount of miles it generally is highway driving. The car your looking at (I would think!) would be of the same type of driving. If the car was maintained by the original owner I would think it would be in good shape. BUT some kind of warranty, even a short one say, 6 months 10,000 miles would be a good idea.

Getting a warranty on any car with over 100K miles is extremely, extremely difficult, not to mention expensive.

Who if anybody would offer a warranty on this thing? I would willing to pay 4-5k for 30,000 miles warranty. 5k + 29k=34k. Still a great deal if the car is clean

Have to agree with everyone else. Too many miles. I got my 07 vert for 35k with 31k miles on it. I got it in Houston TX as well. At the time I purchased mine, they had an 07 XKR Lunar Grey for 41k with 28k miles. Great deal that didn't last long.

It looks like its in good condition for the miles. I assume the price is decent for that many miles. I think you will be the first to know if this truly is a good deal for the miles

Good luck!

Get the VIN number and ask the local Jag dealer to look up the car and find out where it's been and what's been done/not done to it.

Overpriced considering the mileage. And agreeing with overwhelming opinion, way to many miles. Save yourself the nightmares and possible sky-high repair costs.

way too many miles the high average would be 30,000 for a daily driver so how does a car of this caliber get 4 times that

I would say $28K with a warranty included in the price might be doable. If not, then as previously stated, find another one. 111K miles on a supercharged engine is really high IMHO.
