Need advice. Please help
Iv been a BMW guy since 2003. Iv always loved the XJR. A local dealer in my town has a 2005 Super V8. He's asking $21K. After looking at the car very closely here is what I found. Hood and front fenders crasing. Looks like body filler that wasnt cured right. Minor leak from a power steering line or tranny cooler line, left side engine bay below intake hose. Rear tires really worn on the inside, aligement. Iv had supercharged cars before but when I put my sethoscope to the supercharger neck/pulley area it sounds like a bearing going bad, but you cant hear anything just standing there listening to the engine run at idle. Interior is all there but needs a massive cleaning/conditioning.
Heres my main concern:
When I select through the gears it has a slight hesitation before going into reverse. Is this normal for the 6 speed auto?
Also...where is the OBD 2 port on this thing?
I countered with $10K but that is before a test drive. I know these cars like BMW's have problems with bushing and ball joints failing. I think Ill go back and test drive and if there is any kind of shimmy I'll drop to $8K. Im not worried about maintenance cost. There is nothing I cant do on a car, besides anything that requires some sort of stupid special tool only sold by Jag.
Any advise/areas to look at would be greatly appriciated.
Regards
