Old guy is a master salesman

[@colinmcfarlane1414]

hi John I've an xj8 3.2 it's great this service history can it be done by a good mechanic to save the cost of going to a jag dealer

[@lanctermann7261]

John Ward I know what you mean. He’s sooooo perfectly smooth and polished in his salesman’s patter. It’s a pleasure to watch a true professional ply his trade.

[@jeefder]

what's the best price to pay? oh about 7k, but this one is 4k and it's really good lol, what a pleb

[@DaveWuzHere]

I loved the Jaguar leaping off the bonnet on the older Jags.

[@malevolenceXXXensues]

I was in love with the leaper when I was younger

[@greek0818]

Excellent write up on the Jaguar X308's. I own a 2001 XJR as of the end of last year. I've been driving Mercedes, BMW's and many other high-end German marque's for decades. If I only new about these cars earlier in life … I would not have been driving the German marque's. It would have been Jaguars!

[@NTL1991]

Love my 1992 XJ6 Sovereign. The salesman is absolutely right about the improvements after 1991. The only spot of rust on my '92 is at the RH rear quarter, just below the D-Pillar window, at the seam the roof pillar meets the rear quarter panel, due a sub-par collision repair... Everything that hasn't been touched is perfect and rust free.

Sounds better than my x308. Had to weld the chassis rails up after serious rust where it meets the subframe mounts. All good now though

[@dfcvda]

Getting a 16 year old 4.0 Jaguar XJ8 from a Jag mechanic this week I got him down to £750.. I`.m happy about that, silver one.

[@periclesjorge124]

dfcvda 👍 I got a 99 about four months ago great cars

[@G00N3YC4NG]

Wow that's a great deal!

[@hpt08]

You sure that's not because he'll be getting £100/hr from you for the rest of your ownership? 😁

[@iantownsend5480]

I will always remember the first time I saw my first XJR & it was in the perfect colour black, to think you can get one of these for a few thousand now

[@SamTheManWhoCanTwice]

gonna go look at one tomorrow for less than 1000

[@johnpiper3416]

A nice video, but be aware, the later cars do suffer rust.
Key areas to check are around the front and rear screens, the wheel arches and the front wings.
Check under the car if possible, there is a lot of steel that can corrode.
Yes but the best you can afford, but never write off the lower priced cars.
Do as much research as possible, talk to mechanics mot testers owners etc.
Be careful, a car with a lot of issues will still drive like a dream.
If you buy one you will be hooked.
Enjoy.

[@followyourbliss101]

in the states it's hard to find a jag with a true 'full service history' from most private sellers. I've looked at tons of 95-03 xj8s and the majority are crapshoots to buy - although the entry price for the cars themselves is well under 5000 now

[@JW-de3wk]

I drive still a XJ40 Daimler 4.0..from 1991

[@vash30022003]

Remember when car salesman we're actually car salesman petridge farms remembers

I’ve owned a ‘93 XJ40 3.2s and a ‘93 XJS 4.0s...absolutely loved them both...possibly gonna get an X300 XJR next 👌🏻

[@G00N3YC4NG]

How was the upkeep on the 93?

[@LorenzoMoore1000]

My cousin's wife drove a british racing green 93 XJ.

[@bobmarshall3700]

I had an XJ40 1993 Australian delivered model and it was a total lemon! Electronics gave no end of trouble.
Lovely looking car but always something wrong with it.

[@YllaStar95970]

That's a nice Dorchester Grey.

[@patgal8588]

90 mph on the motorway or open it up on the country lanes and have a blast ?

[@turbowhistler1]

I drive a 46 year old jag named big red

[@mre7550]

wish he werent going on about "..when you get to H..", it doesnt really compute for me in 2018

[@kebabtank]

1990/91

[@2083green]

👍

[@joannrosario9373]

I have a 1988 jaguar xj6. The real jaguar not the Ford. Junk....

[@danf4447]

you can tell this guy has never turned wrenches, doesnt know about operating costs and maintenance

[@jeffreyprice773]

Everything went wrong with the xj40.

[@jeffreyprice773]

They blew head gaskets for a pastime.
So many things went wrong with them.

[@doubledee9675]

The best advice is don't.
