I BOUGHT The CHEAPEST JAGUAR S-Type R In The USA *Ultimate 400HP Black Friday Deal*
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 11. 2018
- I bought the cheapest Jaguar S-Type R in the nation. After searching Craigslist, eBay, and wholesale auctions for a day this one popped up right down the street from me. It makes 400HP, 400ft/lbs of torque, powered by a 4.2L Eaton supercharged V8, driving the rear wheels through a ZF 6 speed automatic transmission. This car is as loaded as it could be in 2003, navigation, touch screen infotainment, cd changer, and power everything. The R package adds the hand built supercharged V8, upgraded styling, 18" alloy wheels, and bigger brakes.

A few things to note about the S-type.
1) Get the gearbox serviced ASAP. Jaguar say it is sealed for 'life', but Jag specialists in the U.K. recommend a full service (replace sump, sleeve, and sump bolts, should all come as a kit) every 80K miles or so. you MUST use the correct ZF transmission fluid - you have been warned.
2) If the battery is not in tip top condition it will light up the dash like a Christmas tree, giving you false errors including gearbox going into limp mode. This can also happen if the alternator is on it's way out.
3) Take off the plastic cover sills and check out the condition underneath. These rot out from the inside.
4) Dirty/worn/faulty ABS sensors can throw multiple errors, disabling the DSC and ABS systems; and also gearbox errors. Usually a cheap fix unless the reluctor rings are corroded on the rear hubs.
5) The multi link suspension has numerous bushes that can wear out. The car weighs in at about 2 tons so this is a common fault.
Hope you enjoy your Jag. These are becoming quite rare now in the UK and prices are rising. I have a lowly 2.7 twin turbo diesel and its just fabulous.
You seem like u really know what ur talking about..i have an s type that starts throwing out gearbox faults but only in the winter..what do u think is the cause of this from all the possible issues youve mentioned? Also from this issue the gearbox lever gets stuck in park and i have to manually unjam it..than i let the car sit for about 2 minutes and the fault is gone..Ive taken it to over 30 mechanics here in canada..not a single one of them has given the insight that u have..and 3 of them were so called jaguar specialists lol
@@georgethinks9431 I would say this is probably battery related. I've had these issues before, and even though the car will start fine, if out put from the battery is only slightly low, the ECU throws lots of errors. Batteries have to work a lot harder when it's cold. Also your gearbox oil will be more viscous when cold, so if it is old, that could throw the odd issue. If you're on Facebook there are a couple of really good groups based in the UK for the S-Type. That's where I picked up my knowledge. I'm no longer on FB though.
do you have a Fcebook i also have a jaguar and need some help
@@FunkmeisterOfSedgley right..i got some bootleg battery in there just checked it out..do you know if you have to get some speciality battery? Another issue that i think is somehow related is that sometimes when i push the gas the rpms go but the car doesnt move.. Than after about 10 secs it goes. What do u think about that? Thanks for ur help btw
@@georgethinks9431 when it is very cold I experience a reluctance from the gearbox to change up, but this lasts for just a couple of minutes while the transmission fluid warms up. If your car has a 6 speed ZF transmission the gearbox needs to be serviced approx 80k miles. There's a video on this, I'll see if I can dig out the link. As for a battery, make sure you get one that's at least as well spec'd as the OEM battery. The Jag battery on my car lasted 12 years!
I bought the same car 2 days ago. , 115,000 miles. V8. Perfect condition with no repairs needed. 3 grand.
Thats a win bro 💪👍
3k ya right bro
Full of crap dawg
2004-2008 reliable
I especially enjoyed the dude power washing the engine bay. Because Jag electronics + water = fun times.
😂 that was my thought was well... but he immediately dried it and I haven't seen any intermittent issues since.
I know what you mean! I literally cringed as I watched that part! You can do a better job with an old rag and a can of WD40. It just takes longer. But far less risky with those temperamental electrics
Yes Jag electronics are very annoying!
Ha! I recoiled when I saw that power washer going
Really? My family had a Jag in 1958 and that was a problem then. So still? That's incredible.
Some Handy stuff:
- When you push and hold (3-5 sec) the unlock button on the key fob all windows and sun roof open.
- When you push and hold the lock button on the key fob all windows and sun roof close. (MY2002.5 & up dealer activated)
- At anytime during either process you can tap the button again and they stop at desired location. (btw, once they start to move you can let off the button.)
- The global lock/unlock button on the center console will also open or close all windows to desired location depending on how long you hold then button.
- Apparently you can program you key fob so with one push of the unlock button all doors will unlock. You do this by first pushing and holding the lock button on the key fob until you hear a beep, then push and hold the unlock button on your key fob until you hear two beeps.
- To access Engineering Test Mode you push and hold the button on the left stalk while turning the key to position 2, keep it pressed in until the display read "Test Mode". You can start the car and do this while running, or not. You cycle to different parameters by pressing the k/mp button of some Jag's. or the button on the left stalk on others, (like mine)
- Remove your cup holder to find a hidden compartment, also makes for a bigger cup holder. (Open the center console, and tilt the cup holder forward while pulling up.)
- Navigation systems, to enter the diagnostic menu you press and hold the Phone and Menu buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. Then enter PIN 917. With code 1971 you Get an extra button with even more options. (Never push the update buttons, screen will go black and stays black)
- Press and hold the Recirc button until you hear a double beep. This keeps it in Recirc until YOU shut it off.
- Powerfold door mirrors, with the rocker switch centered, briefly press the dial switch rearward to fold both mirrors back. Only if you have power folding mirrors
- Press and hold the EPB paddle down as you shut off your engine and remove the key. This will prevent the Auto Engagement of the Electronic Parking Brake. (Changing brake pads
-sick of the noise when unbuckling your seatbelt? Turn the key in position 2, within 60sec buckle and unbuckle the drivers seatbelt 9 time. You will hear a chime and when you unbuckle while driving there will be no noise.
-Weak battery equals Christmas style gauge cluster
I’ve always been part of the minority that thought the S type was gorgeous
That thing is sweet in the front
Yea it's ok but I'm in the market for a xjr. They are both good looking
They are...sleek, sexxxxy and makes you feel special!
It’s literally looking like a Bentley lol, it’s looking perfect
Dude I always thought jaguars looked like actual jaguars in shape lol
This dude makes the best videos. Your a natural!
Nice car. I have a 2001 VDP and i love it. As long as you take care of all the issues it has and keep up on maintenance you got a solid jag
Pirate car RRRRRRR
😂 I should've mentioned it's basically a pirate ship!
I bought the cheapest 5.0 Jaguar XKR with a clean title in Canada and it was a great decision. I love the S you bought and what a bargain. Please don’t let you buddy burry it in his mechanic’s yard if it has issues
@Jim Pakeman no funerals for this one ⚰️
whattttt?
Super cool! Looks like that will be a fun project to work on and play with. 😊👍👍
I'm hoping so! 💯
Of all the Jags made over the last 20years the R is what you want. Beautiful car😍
Love the car. I got an 02 3.0 v6 non R and had suspension replaced. There are some changes but it may help you later if you need parts look at lincoln ls, ford thunderbird and mustang. They were all built on the same platform. To know if it has cats suspension look for wires coming out of the strut mounts.
Taking me back to my uni days. Nostalgia at its peak, you will love the floaty ride. I think the transmission code and limp mode is caused by a faulty battery as it did on mine once. Once I replaced the battery and cleared the errors, thing was breathing mint. I'm sure you will enjoy it once the gremlins are sorted.
I had one of those back after grad school, fun car!
I can't wait to actually have some fun with it! Right now I'm being careful with it in limp mode 😭
The main thing is your enjoying it, don't see too many jags here in Ireland, there famous for reliability/rust issues subscribed fella, keep it up!
I love your varied content with the AG vids, and the random ass cars. Very intune with those of us that have a wide pallet of shit I can't afford lmao!
LOVE IT. I used to sell these new running a Jaguar dealership over here in Australia - they were $140k(AUD) + options back then. Bloody awesome cars. Thanks from the epic content. Cheers from Australia.
😮I know the exchange rate makes that number huge, but $140K!
I've been told by my local main dealer service manager that he still thinks the S Type is a better drive than the XF which replaced it
...
I currently own a 2002 S Type R with 92k's on it...awesome car which is unmistakably a Jag.
And I am in Newcastle, Australia....and can confirm the outrageous price when new....
What a beautiful car! Congratulations, JR
Thank you, can't wait to get it sorted out and have some fun 🤙
I have a 2003 2.5l unleaded petrol engine.
It had a huge full service history when I bought it.
The only problem I had was it kept on telling me that the engine coolant was low.
That was remedied by a £10 new coolant tank lid as the seal had gone in the original one.
I got my 2005 str for 3100 with a check engine light that I fixed by cleaning the air cleaner and maf sensor, everything else works! Oh except the sunroof was off track. Love it
Glad to see you with a proper JAAGGGG! Grew up around Jags and have tons of useless knowledge on the brand, though we've, my family, have never purchased anything but XJ's and XK's. We've had three Super V8s and one had over 250,000 miles before a teenage girl was texting and driving ran into it. A good locksmith should be able to program the remote portion once you locate one. The power pedals could be a fuse, but most likely an ECU issue or dead motor. I would think your sunroof is fine, seeing that we haven't had issues with any Jag sunroof since they switched to the glass units. The ZF, sadly, wasn't the best thing ZF has ever strapped in Jags. Leaving the toggle on Auto should also slide your seat back as well as tilting the wheel up and in when you turn of the car off. There is no master for your cruise... You just set it... It's that easy. I didn't realize that DSP was included in models without the Rear Entertainment Package. All the XJ we had, 5-of them, from the era had RSES (rear seat entertainment system) and the DSP helps because you can assign the sound to the rear seats, after all thats who's watching the screens. In 2000, could be 2001, Ford switch Jag's stereos from Harman Kardon to Alpine. THIS WAS A HUGE DOWNGRADE! I was a 97 X300 VDP and the H/K is way better than the Alpine in our 2005, 2006, and 2008. The Wizard should be able to get all of this sorted out. Jags aren't overly complicated and can be a ton of fun as far as daily drivers go. The Supercharged V8 is one of the best sounding engines IMO.
I'll try all the remote programming myself first, then hit up a locksmith. The pedals make noise but don't move, maybe I can free that motor up. I'll bet the farm and test the sunroof lol, I hope you're right! Leaving the transmission solenoid to the Wizard. A few people mentioned the cruise just needing set, it must disable when the transmission is in limp mode. I'm sure you're right about the Harmon to Alpine being a downgrade, it sounds okay at best. I do love the sound! 🎶
Your style is pretty good. Good video. Subscribing.
My dad used to work at Eaton! They make superchargers and also battery backup systems! Got to see some ihra drag racing for free cuz Eaton was a sponsor! This was over 10 years ago though!
i have a 2006 STR and i love it. so much fun to drive and tons of power. Good buy!!
How's the reliability? Anything to look out for? There's an '05 with 110K miles im consider buying. It's only $5K and looks very well kept
@@audioamateur mine has been very reliable. Only a few standard issues that most cars experience. Did you pick up the 05? sorry late to respond.
@@awidesigns hi Scott, i did look around but decided against it in the end. Thanks for the feedback
cool video, first one I've seen of you
Understated beast
I have a 2005 one. Just letting ya know the fog lights are standard. You’re missing the tv option but can easily be installed and also haven’t got the heated glass on the car. The weak points on the cars are the battery’s so good you got that changed as can really cause havoc. I’d advise you to get you’re gearbox serviced and also supercharger oil change as makes massive improvement on performance. Any questions on s types let me know as I’ve done allot on mine and you should join our S type club on Facebook. Jaguar owners club. You can see my car on my Channel
Maybe the fog lights were new for 2003? I was reading about it and thought the article said it was different. The TV would be sweet but isn't it PAL as the TV option isn't typically sold in the US on any euro cars? You're right though, if heated glass was an option I don't see any defrost lines in it. Gearbox is the first big project, and supercharger oil is always a fun one, at least it's easy on the Eatons. I'd like to do a pulley and tune (change the speed limiter too) but I don't know who still tunes these. 🏎💨
@@WatchJRGo If you do a tune get better injectors as the stock ones let the tune down for sure... And I've done some mods and repairs on mine shall I dm you on instagram???
Yes, tell me how to make it fast! 🏎
I have an 05 s type r and it doesn’t have fogs lights. Did research and the 05 to 08 facelift eliminated the fog lights. And he says the cheapest in the country, that’s untrue! I must have stole mine! Got it from a salvage auction, with a clear title for 2200 after taxes, with 79k on it.
@@WatchJRGo and Luis Freeman, here is the Jaguar page I run and it is for the Supercharged ones too..facebook.com/groups/JaguarXJR/
Amazing video!
Thank you! 💯
Nice ride good buy!
I have a 2000 S-Type. I love it. Giving it some TLC and hopefully some customization.
So many people in the UK criticise this car because Clarkson, Hammond and may said it was ugly. Granted the looks are love or hate but whatever anyone says a great deal of development went into this car and most owners seem to love them. Proper sick car!
Honestly just driving it for a bit was great, I'm pretty excited about it! 💯
Yes, but who needs the opinions of Clarkson, Hammond or May? Make up you own mind people!
This is going to be amazing!
🥇the first comment wasn't "First" GG
Awesome review and awesome car for $3,000 💪
Check for water leaks in the boot, they used leak like a siv and kill the reverse module, take the plug out of the boot floor and fit the xj-s boot floor grommet, for water management.
Good info, I'll check that out! 🤙
T.A - I believe is traffic announcement, good vid 👍🏼
I bought a running driving 04 XJR for 700$ with 139k it had failed air suspension so I swapped it for coil overs and it’s my favorite Sunday drive now!
What an awesome price! Enjoy that beast. Glad you could do a coilover swap... I've been looking at cheap Mercedes for a project and you can't convert ABC suspension cars to coils. 😭
I found it out in Rhode Island behind a coffee shop in a field and it got me over 3k miles home after sitting for 3yrs I live in Wa state so it’s far haha
@@jacktaylor4641 damn that's awesome, love the xjr of that era
Can’t wait to see it running out of limp mode and you to channel your inner Clarkson - POWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHH
Haha, yes! 💪
@@WatchJRGo There's an old, old old Top Gear video around on the internet of when they first drove the R. Richard Hammond drove it out the back of a Hercules airplane! They tested it against a Chrysler 300 Hemi and a Monaro, on a remote beach and all agreed the R was the most fun (and the fastest)! You should look it up!
My old man bought one new in 2003 - it was like the Starship Enterprise.... a very, very fast, comfortable and underrated car. It was the only new car he ever bought himself, and he absolutely loved it.
Super nice, even driving with only 3rd gear you can tell it has loads of power. Glad he enjoyed his! 😎
I have a 2004 s type . Battery at Walmart is $120. Limp mode can go on due to moisture under wiper arm area from when they were spraying it. I’ve had it do that after a car wash. I paid $3500 for mine with no issues. 156k miles.
I got a 2005 str very fast under drive pulley is a must
Two things. That button on the wheel, left upper with the phone and head that is talking actually activates voice control if you have it. Hold the button and the little odometer display right above the wheel say "listening" You can control different things like climate and CD's. Tell it " CD changer play disk 1" and it will. Enjoy... Also you can adjust the EQ by using the "Mode" button next to the radio volume and on/off dial.
My brother has your jaguar model in black ... I have a 2002 model looks and runs like a champ
Heck yeah! This car is a beast 🏎💨
@@WatchJRGo realy luxurios still my x-type navy blue runs like a 🏆
get your sat nav a software update it made a hell of a difference to mine remember these cars had a long life cycle and the sat nav was in other cars upto 2012 so there where a few differences between the factory nav and the updates
plus you can buy a board (JAGDROID) That allows you to switch to android and back to stock with the press of a button! i think its less than 100 pounds
also the subs are below the rear parcel shelf you can remove them and put others in there place keeping it looking stock also the door speakers are easily upgraded no adapters needed
Have fun with the valve cover gaskets, the ensuing misfire because of the valve cover gaskets, and the wonderful cooling system that loves to crack and is an absolute pain to repair.
To adjust the EQ, hold the mode button (I think - had to do the same in my bosses Jag to tweak the settings)
thanks man i didnt know that
Beautiful car!
Dude !! Sweet car. You gave me hope in buying a performance ar. And for 3 K I am so jazz'd !! I wanted a Beemer ,but this S-Type Rules. 145 Mi, I would be worried, cause I know nothing about engines, but it looked as though you don't either, so that's a great platform for me. Ok, well great driving to you. I will defenately "Sub" your channel. Al the best Shaun of NYC
Thats awesome!!! You guys were so close to were I live 🤣🤣
Heck yeah! Bob has a lot of cool cars over there 😎
@@WatchJRGo Never been in there although Im super close. Might have to check it out.
Great car. Thumbs up.
brother, press the + the cruise control will engage, im looking forward to your next video man,
I have a 2005 S type Jaguar 4.2 v8 NOT the R version , there is a hidden keyhole on the edge of the trunk encase you have a dead battery and the doors are locked ,it happened to me. mine used to be a least Car and has all the maintenance stamps and low mileage. and I love it.
Units = pounds in drug talk
A lot of people on CL trade cars for weed where I'm from lol
I bought one for 2k, a 2003 S-Type 3.0 v6, so its not an R but still. Wouldn't ya know it tho, needed a few new sensors, water pump, battery, coil packs, and the drivers side exhaust is hanging. Just needs some wiring tho. 18 gallon tank and it costs about 40-50 to fill w/premium depending where you buy it. These cars are very nice, smooth rides that will last if you're willing to do all the small work thats not worth shop costs, save that money for things like the gearbox or if your throttle body goes out which seems common so far as I've heard.
I have a 2007 xj8 L, same color. LJZ. Lunar Grey Metallic! It’s an elegant color.
1 off my dream cars
I bought a 2003 S Type 4.2L in the same color as this one in the video just not the R. I work at a Kia dealership and we gave the guy $1000 for the trade value and it was pristine, just had 175k miles on it. Cost me $1600 with taxes and I still drive it till this day with no issues at all. I did have to replace the battery, but other that that this car is solid and strong and looks like a $10-$12k car. The $1600 I paid was a small risk to take for a beautiful car like this.
TA is traffic alert and means that your audio gets interrupted for local radio traffic reports. I've no idea if it works in the USA as it requires radio stations to transmit RDS information in the FM band.
There's no master switch for cruise on Jags. Just press the '+' when you reach your chosen speed. These Ford era Jags are pretty reliable, just be wary of underbody rust at this age, and the valley coolant pipe, conveniently hidden under the supercharger! Hope the gearbox turns out to be a cheap fix.
Tacky tunes? Anything recognisable on that CD?
Great video I have the same exact car
where do you advertise at when selling?
Of course I like the Original Mark II, but I like the retro-look of the S-Type.
I got the 2003 too, it’s a fun money pit.
Channel in your inner villain, cause its a Jaaagg.
THIS CAR IS SAUCY 😂
WatchJRGo I would like to see it when the gearbox is fixed. They go like shit of a shovel.
First time watching your channel I thought this channel was related to the other JR, glad you're not. Cool vid.
welcome to the Jag S Type club brotha! lol
I had a 4.0 s type it was cool and fun timing chains and guides were done prior to my purchase... Since I bought it with a bad head gasket I got to check their work. Mine had a folder full of paperwork definitely not as cheap to maintain as a Corolla.
WatchJRGo nice ride.
Lol the way you say "R" reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson
Lol Tires n Tyres........ chicken , egg...... lol awesome vids bruv
You have to lift the wipers to properly clean the windshield
you should go for a better exhaust mine sounds great especially with the y pipe and electronic cutout
mine has a y pipe just before the silencers on each side they both go into a single pipe then to a tiny performance motor bike silencer! it sounds amazing i have mine set for the kickdown putton and a dash button so it sounds stock untill u floor it hitting the kick down

Hello,I love and enjoy driving my Jaguar S-Type R. It's the oldest car I've driven. However, When I purchased the Jaguar 5 years ago, it didn't have a 1000,000 miles, it only had 56.000 and I paid much, much more then $3.000 for it, as you did yours. Moreover, It just recently turned over 1000,000. I receive more compliments on the Jaguar then I ever did on my 1 year old Mercedes Benz E Class. (( no joke.)) I plan on always keeping my Jaguar S - Type R. Hard to believe, back in the day they were $60.000. I'll add pic. The paint-job on the Car is sooooo shiny, you could use it as a mirror. Oh, one last thing.... My Jaguar from what I understand, was ordered from the, Castle Bromwich facility in Birmingham, England by an attorney in Dublin, Ga. Thanks for the video.Robert Preston Higgins
Awesome car
things to do on the jaguar: 1. clean it and polish headlights 2. french racing blue vynil (colour used on the jag XKR-S) 3. straight pipe it 4. gloss black grill and black vynil on the orange reflectors and indicators
Not the first to have bought a dodgy secondhand jag and you won't be the last-welcome to the club.
Sounds like a fun club! Happy to be here, is there food? 😁
The way to change the eq sound you press the ‘mode’ button by the volume nob
I have a 04 regular 4.2 I turned into a 4.2r any advice on how you go by tuning the engine for the R model
That’s a hell of a car I drove one across South Africa.
I bet that was a heck of a trip! 😮
I just got my 2000SType 3.0 very clean..drove it away..I paid $3000 first..scared to death😱but I bought it.
Great gas milage..surprised me..24mpg reg drive...more for hwy.
It does have a clunking sound at times, after stopping when I accelerate.???
Mirrors and windshield wiper fluid..not working..fuse???
I feel so good driving this cat...love acceleration and the comfy seats.
Press the mode button next to the volume/power button to access the equalizer, that's the same system as my X-Type
I need to get out there and try this, I'll be thrilled if I can flatten the EQ out a bit. 🎶
@@WatchJRGo I can't tell you how long it took me to figure that out myself, but once I did it sounded much better!
I've been looking at some of the cars at Euroasia and since you seem to know them pretty well are they sold as they get them or do they do work to make them in good shape before putting out for sale? If they sell as is do they look the cars over to disclose the necessary fixes or do they not know whats wrong with their cars?
My dad owns an 04’ S type R and the battery failed on us when it got below freezing and he had to add distilled water to the battery for it to start properly
This battery was sealed so I was out of luck, gives me a little peace of mind having the new one as well. 🔋
Mine was half that price. 2004 STR and it was $1500 and it needed a new know sensor.
I currently drive an x type but would love an S type R as a second car
I have a 2005 4.2 l v8 s type Jag [no super charger] if your battery is dead and you cant open the trunk there is a key hole on the left side of the trunk edge. Put it in S mode and floor the gas you will love the feeling. lol
I’ve always wanted one!
Clarkson Dan I’ve got one since 3 years ago
I love the look of those year model Jaguars; they have the sleek design of classic Jaguars. However, I have to say the rear end looks a lot like the one on my 2005 Ford Taurus sedan. That's where it ends though!
great car
Thank you for not saying “Jagwire”
When I first got my jaguar S type R I popped Shrek into the DVD navigation thing and it played on the screen and it was funny
Nice car. Hope it works out.
Need your help i have a jaguar stype but i don't know nothing about the car the chages oficina automatic transmitió how many velocitis have
Do you still have this?
You can service the transmission with a new pan/filter/sleeve/lg6 longlife fluid for around 180.
Sure do, but I think it's the solenoid pack. Planning on swapping the whole unit since it's just a few dollars more than fixing the existing transmission. I'll still need that lg6! 🛠
0:34 WOW That Mercedes... 😍
soooo are there anymore updates on the jagwire??
Check your transmission control module it gets wet cause it to put up false codes
my dad always had these my whole life got the same car u have now so I geuss this is what I get to look forward to driving so why not watch a bunch of CZcams videos on it 😂 car sounds pretty cool tho
The s type was my first jaguar. I settled for the v6 b/c I came across one that was in that gorgeous powder zircon blue..it also was fully loaded w/ every option. I paid $6k ..it was only 11 yrs old and had 80 something thousand miles on it. That was a pretty good deal..I couldn’t pass up. The whole thing ended up being a mess..the dealer kept postponing sending me the title. I paid in full. Needless to say he got sued ..he was scamming several buyers and his lot got shut down. Months later I received the title. The car wasn’t taken well care of mechanically. I didn’t know anyone who specialized in them at a responsible cost. I ended up having it for a short 10 months. I loved the car ..it was gorgeous. I’d get compliments on it everyday and everyone made the biggest deal out of it. I was like “thanks ..but it’s not a new car lol” my grandmom ended up passing away. She left me some money. A yr later I came across a jaguar XJ8 super v8 edition. (Highest trim level ..combo of the R and Vanden plas) the car brand new was $100k from palm beach. I had to have it. So u could say it was given to me “for free” lol. I didn’t pay anything for it. I still hav it yrs later..I hav a mechanic who works on it. I take really good care of it. I’d never sell it. They are such a rewarding car as I’m sure u know. The XJ8 is my spare..I only take it out on nice days. I want an s -type in addition ..but this time only in the v8...I want a 1 owner w/ hardly any miles on it.
Sorry thought I’d share.
Hope u still have it and r enjoying it!!!
6 units lol
Got the same car with 60,000 original miles.... im lovin the fact it still stylish and can eat up these auto parts store racers with no problems
What mods have you do
Alot of ford Lincoln ls parts on that car like the battery and its exactly in same spot
Ouu proud to say This No longer the Cheapest in da nation Brother !! picked Up my 03 STR For 2200$ At 70 k miles
