Default Help with potential purchase tonight

So there's an x-type for sale and they are asking 1.3k, its black on black manual 2.5(wish it was the 3.0) interior looks pretty good seats are in a crispy condition, according to the owner the car drives well and shifts smoothly. It's also a clean title with 113k miles.

As for the cons, it's leaking brake fluid and you have to constantly pump the clutch since it "depends on how long you can drive and last withought losing pressure." The other problem is it needs front brakes and rotors. It also has a spare on the back but they have the original tire. I'm sure the tire can possibly be patched if it was just nail. I don't know of the tread on the others.

Other than that the car seems to be in a good condition exterior wise. I've done a little research and found that it could be leaking brake fluid due to it needs brakes and rotors.

I will be meeting with the seller tonight but I just wanted to know if it is worth it and even if I possibly bring it down to 1.1k.

With all those issue you could probably get him down even further. Try $800. You can always go up.

Welcome to the forum dgram,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.


I can see you've already found your way to the X-Type forum with this question so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Jaguar price varies considerably with LOCATION - I might pay 500 UKP (600 USD) for one in that condition but in the US it could be worth 50% more. If you can't DIY the repairs, it will cost at least as much again as the asking price to fix.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
