Smile New Member : Classic Jag Buy

Greetings everyone!

I am in the process of buying a classic 1994 Jaguar XJ-6 with 61,000 mi. from a private seller. The price tag was $500. though, because I have to buy a battery the price was lowered to $400. He priced to sell! I found a brand new battery for $75.76. I plan to keep the jag for a bit to drive, put a little work into it and resell for a late 90's model or other classic luxury car. Aftermarket parts are my business as well as restoration. Do you think this is a good deal?

Welcome to the forum, if you can use it as a driver $400 is good in any ones book.

$400 for 61,000 miles (just well broken in and loosened up!) us a Screaming Good Deal in my book!! You may find in time that you got what you paid for, but you can put a Lot of parts in a $400 car and Still come out smelling like a rose!
