Default Jag in Miami

I must be nuts but seriously considering an '06 XJ8 thats been sitting now for 9 months.It wouldn't start for owner after 10 days sitting and her mechanic cant figure it out so she just wants to get rid of it for a grand. It has lost all air in the shocks so sitting low. New tires body and interior very nice and 125k miles.

Welcome to the forum vmaxmike,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

The engine needs to rotate, get fuel and have spark. How hard can that be!

Follow this link XJ XJ8 / XJR ( X308 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/usa-lower-atlantic-nc-sc-fl-ga-66/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

I'd like to bring it home but with a collapsed suspension presumably the tires are hitting the wheel wells so how will it even roll!? I will request a flat bed tow truck but again will it roll at all when bottomed out.

Mike,

Your original post says the vehicle is a 2006 XJ8 (X308) but you've put 2005 S-Type (X200) in your Signature...?
