I would like to have it, probably have to get a divorce first though, then I probably wouldn't be able to afford it, so I guess not.

The MGB I use as my only car is fun, but not always 100% comfortable. A nice "BBC" would be great sometimes. That one looks real clean for the money. You might post the milage and service history for your neighbor. However, a clean Lexus LS 400 would probably be a better idea.

Wow...looks good, almost to good. Why don't you purchase and let Wyatt sell it on Ebay and you split the profit?

By looking at the pictures, it sure looks like a good deal. Of course, it all depends on the mileage and if it was routinely serviced.

The XJ40 series ended in 1994 so this 1993 model would be one of last and these had all the "bugs" sorted out.

Classy car. But, you'd be into it deep at the first breakdown. These cars depreciate to nothing for good reason.

Not my cup of tea, but the ones converted to a small block and chevy auto trans (700r?) might not be a bad idea.

I think it's cool and for 32,00.oo it's a steal.

But as Chris said, repair costs are very high. Its not the type of car you want to get into trying to repair it yourself. Also I would imagine repair parts would be big dollars.
Pretty car though and one I wouldn't mind having, if I could afford it and its care and feeding.

An old guy once told me the check you write to buy a Jag is the smallest one you'll ever write for the Jag, or something like that.
