Looks like you been played guys
! Looks like American pulled off a quick one on ya'll. I was going to buy this car a month ago, deal was pending for $12,500, but the original owner never went thru with the deal. This car has a major history of problems. I wouldn't be surprised if American bought it for 12,500 if it was true. I wouldn't even pay $10k for it due to the problems it has.

American, pay no attention to him, his cred is pretty shot.

You aren't just looking for black and white facts but also patterns or lack of them.

Being a one owner car makes it much easier to track down and with CarFax, the voluntary release of records to me and me calling the dealers to make sure I have ALL of the records, which I did, and fill in a few gaps with CarFax, oil changes, inspections, etc... it's pretty easy to get a good service picture.
It was leased then he bought out the lease, don't think I'd keep a lemon once the lease is up do you? He even had the 30k inspection done at 25k miles.
I just don't see any flaky maintenance history traits in this vehicle.
Just droopy lights to deal with and I'll carry two #8 x 1" screws with me and borrow a drill, 1/8" bit and a screwdriver before I hit the road. If I get there and it has other issues well.. .guess I'll have to find a way back to Texas!

Not to keep beating a dead horse but this guy has been lieing since he got here. His advice should just be removed from this thread. This is jaguar 007 I'm talking about.
Pushing-Tin has a point here I just wanted to add that he has lied three times. He claims he has an 03 V8 S type yet in the post about taking pics of your odometer to show off your mileage he posted a pic of his 05+ odometer showing his mileage. I didnt really think twice about it till his last thread. I'm curious how much it cost to do a swap like that.
No offense jaguar007 I think you cred is shot around here for giving any sort of advice so if you want info on S types if I was you I would just become a lurker. You can also save your threats of me coming to your house. Ive been through alot worse places then some bad neighborhood in MS. That threat wouldnt make one hair on my neck stand up especially after working in the eastside of Detroit and going to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Alright I'm off my soapbox.

Couldn't agree more, he has all the characteristics of a sociopath. Where is the ignore button here?

You know when you join some people that you don't know that well and they start talking about things that you know are an inside joke and you just sit there with a stupid grin on your face not knowing WTF anyone is talking about? Yeah.. that's me right now. ![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Didn't mean to bring drama along...just trying to buy a car.
Anyway.. moving right along.
I can assure you that this trip will be full of interesting moments, to say the least, I setup a blog at http://rowagent.blogspot.com and added a Blogger app to my Droid X for the trip so I can upload photos and posts along with our location as we progress. Should be interesting.
Oh...and I'll warn you now, what I post may not be family friendly and there is a distinct chance of random nudity, drunkeness, and general disregard for local traffic laws. (not necessarily all at the same time). I mean, two good ol Texas boys on a trip to Pennsylvania to pickup a Jaguar and go work the natural gas fields then going on tour back to Texas... if that ain't the makings of a good story what is? Trust me, where we are there will be good times.
