XFR sales

[Matt Ringshaw]

Any advice on selling a XFR Privately. This car isn’t a standard 5 ltr car and I’m sick of time wasters.

Hi Matt,

I bought my XK8 through SM Autos. The guy there, Sean, was honest and easy to deal with. They are a small 'trader' dealing with a limited stock. Depending on where you live, might be worth considering. Take a look at their website.

Probably put it on Pistonheads or similar, with a very detailed advert providing all of the information and as many good quality photos as you can upload ?

I would include pictures and details of invoices for work carried out, especially any modifications.

Most Jaguar forums also have 'cars for sale' sections for members, not as much traffic as the 'usual' advertising websites but less likely to get messers and wannabe test pilots.

You will also need to be realistic about your pricing, it is very rare to see much of a return on the money you have spent on modifying the car (as I know from my Subaru tuning days)

The XFR is a specialised car that only appeals to a small target audience, modified ones have an even smaller pool of potential buyers.

In the current climate, they are perceived to be expensive to tax and fuel, and modified cars can be difficult and expensive to insure.
