Hi all

My nave is Dave, location Wirral and in looking at buying my first jag.

The car I'm interested in would be an x type 3.0 auto.

Still looking around for the right car.

Any info would be greatly received.

Cheers

Welcome to the Club, Dave.

 

The x type is a very nice car described by some as "nippy" which is not a word I would use about a Jaguar.  I had a 2.5 litre AWD which was a great car  ---  quick but stately, too.

 

I used to work at the Steelworks across the water from the Wirral.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Ken, XKR now that's a dream car.

Cheers Frank, I'm after a sub 2k car, so that would be an early on I guess.

Can the plastics be removed to check the sills?

Peter On a good day you can here the steelworks, or is that a bad day.

Thanks for the comments, let the hunt begin.

I left the Steelworks in 1970 - almost 45 years ago -  there were 13,000 employees then and a bit more fumes arising.

Hi Dave ..You can just get your fingers or a srew driver behind the plastic  sill's to check but saying that

if its just had a MOT you should be safe as well .???

Becareful thats the best way .??  The cost to have new ones welded in is about = £500 to £650 at a small garage.??

You will not regret buying a X type I'm really enjoying mine .

Hi Kenny,

 

I found one at Stratstone 6 years old and they had a few older than that  -- I must admit to being a bit surprised.  From What I can gather they appear to keep their trade ins in a garage for about 3/4 months and advertise them sparingly. I was interested in one in Perth for £7k and asked if they would bring it down, but then, lo and behold, they produced one that they had had for three months and never advertised, with 40 k less on the clock and two tears younger.

 

Regards 

 

Peter.

Checked out piston heads, closest car is Yorkshire and its a 2.5.

Something will come up.

There is one in Hyde at trade cars direct near Manchester, up that way next week. I will check it out.

No pictures as of yet.

3.0 auto 2001 74k £1690.

Most main dealers of all makes pass the part ex's on to traders obviously there are exceptions

Hi Kenny,

 

Some main dealers do the Stratstone  trick and keep some good clean cars in stock,  and some have other outlets which are partners, as it were.  Stratstone own some of Evan Halshaw and use their website to advertise some of their trade ins. And one of my local Main Dealers directly own a big secondhand car outlet very close to their Birmingham base.

 

Cars with big mileages all go off to small dealers, however, and some go off to the auctions.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.
