What would you guys think a reasonable price for the following car would be:
1998 S Reg XKR 4.2 Supercharged Jag Coupe.
Red, interior cream coloured leather. Apparently all optional extras available at that time. One owner, full service history all carried out at the same Jaguar Dealer each time. 50K miles, just over 5,000 a year. Absolutely flawless condition, well looked after - looks new.
And no, not a replacement for the Lotus before you ask!!

OT: Price of a used Jag XKR.

They are wanting 17k. I have seen some as little as 12, and some closer to 20. It is in absolute mint condition.GWhittle wrote:What would you guys think a reasonable price for the following car would be:

Got a chance to part ex our 307CC for it, which will bag us 14k of the bill.

PS - It's a dealership selling, not private.
Guess it comes down to the deal. I had a look on autotrader and theres lots at 12-14.
If they are giving you good p/x then I guess that 17k ask for the car is ok if they are inflating the px amount.
Swings and roundabouts how they cut it, make the car cheap and give you less for 307, as long as you are happy.

This one looks almost identical in spec, however the bonnet in the one we are looking at has two grills which I think is due to the 4.2 engine size.

If it was a MMC group dealer they have probably heard of " the £36k elise" on the company grapevine, and thought it was a second coming....GWhittle wrote:What do you think as for value for money?

Have to buy thirsty cars now before they're made illegal.....
But seriously, if you`re not sure then maybe its not the right deal - if you`re happy, go for it. Its your cash at the end of the day
edited to add; mega amount of car for the cash
That one has bonnet grills tooGWhittle wrote:This one looks almost identical in spec, however the bonnet in the one we are looking at has two grills which I think is due to the 4.2 engine size.

That was part of the standard spec on all XKRs AFAIK.Nice car, & a lot of car for the money. Remeber to haggle, you are looking for lots of money off
i would say at 17k the price is a bit on the high side, i would say 16k was its top price. they are good cars though im currently driving a 98 xkr, a 98 model wil be the 4.0 engine, check if the engine has been replaced under warranty, early cars had nikasil bores which were later changed to steel.
