Buying a Jaguar for Less than $2,500

fuckingg oem manufacturer parts. you can get aftermarket parts for much less or go to a junkyard or find parts for it online from a junkyard pull for much less. thats what i do for my car and have saved a lot of money over buying the oem parts from the manufacturer.

I would drive that car

I'm dead you are crazy spending 2700 on that junk you just bought a depreciating car that's the worst of the xj model and not even a good model lmao anything after 2003 is garbage n it has a 100 thousand already omg you could have found an operating Vander plas for 3000 in mint condition around the same milage n for the parts buy second hand you can buy a whole car with a blown throttle for 800 😂

When we're done building our Volvo V70R, we challenge you to a drag race.

good buy..fixer back looking emaculate!

Will be a very nice when finshed. This model with proper servicing can last to about 400--500 000kms ( i know of a similar car that has high kms it runs and drives perfectly well ).
Your approach to the repairs is very sensible.
On a cheaper model i would not have too worried about the doors, the dents are not that bad.

That Jag is gorgeous

How you pick it up for so low price is because that is what they bring at thr auction you got just a regular price gor the car not a super deal

Lovely car but 100k miles!?....walk away

Lol you mean 8k jag

I need to drive that Jag to my parole officer.

The car would have been 70,000 if it was brand new in 2004 the value is worth a Ford escort

That jag wasn't worth more then a grand lol

So why is it not done yet

It will be easier to "just swap the rear door instead of replacing It?"

Its a ford its never made a profit so many unsold

$70,000...LMAO...LOL ...I say you got burnt .....what part of the world do you live in......lol

That car is only worth 2,400

I got my 03 xj8 for 100 more

It looks interesting with no grille.

So you bought a $70,000 car for only $2,400 and the catch is that it's not a $70,000 car anymore.....?? Please explain to me how that makes any sense.

Very intresting

Didn't Chrisfix got one for $1800?

hmm more money in parting it out tho. Unfortunately, that's just about always the case, parts bring more IF you can sell the parts.

Buy from junkyards

Worthless in Britain

psh I found many fenders online for that Jaguar for around $200 used but in mint condition those insurance companies are ripping you off BIG TIME it did not cost them shit when the factories made it.

Nice

Your channel is amazing and it deserves more subscribers! I just subscribed & show my support. I have owned 4 XJRs and I hope that you will support my channel too. 😀👍😀

I had a grill 4 it i sold it 4 $50 dollar's 4. you should have put some round LED light's 2 try and save some money bet it would look cool.

It's beautiful. Enjoy!

No matter what you do, it will have a salvage/rebuilt title. The salvage title keeps you from purchasing full coverage insurance. the salvage title reduces the value by 1/2 to 2/3. Run the numbers and see you would not buy it for resale.

Isn't it amazing how the morons come out en masse when smart people make crafty and shrewd moves to better themselves? They wouldn't ever.take a chance as you guys did, on that amazingly beautiful and.luxurious Vanden Plas. These cars are well made, have an incredible ride and provide the owner with an instantaneous status symbol. And all of this "stupidity" for buying a car with 100,000 miles only costs 5% of the original sticker price. A car mind you, that hasn't even seen half its days, if kept maintained like you would any other car you would own. LMAO, what stupidity!!!

Just bought a 08 xj8 needs a shock absorber but I can put that on myself the mechanic shop wanted to charge me $2500 to repair the rear shocks 🥴 no thanks!

You can probably buy a fender and lights for $350-550 on eBay

I just love everything about this vehicle. It’s gorgeous.
