2011XKR coupe, 22K miles, MINT... $49K, new was around $108K

 

$12000 US for my 2004 XJ8 with 56000 miles, purchased in mid-December 2014. The dealer asked $13K and came down to $12K. In my area (northern Illinois) that's a bit on the high side, with the range between 10 and 13 for a low miles XJ8. Given its condition, I thought it was fair but not exactly a bargain. It's a base model, so the sticker price in 2004 was probably $65,000.

(Actually, this question doesn't pertain to X350's, is it? Sorry!)

 

Yes, don't tell anyone.

 

With 79K miles - I paid just under 10% of the MSRP at $88,000. A wonderful vehicle - nearly pristine when I bought it 3 years ago... still excellent (the sand that the Colo Highway Dept put on the roads pits the frontend and windshield a touch - not complaining, much nicer than salt). I do have a wiring question that deals with a white/blue wire coming through the backseat firewall... mine disconnected when I was putzing about in the trunk - cannot find any diagram on it?

 

got a 2010 xkr for 25% of its MSRP for 89k miles

 

1998 XJR, 73k miles. I paid $4500 for it. Years ago, someone spent a WHOLE lot more for this cat!

 

'03 XJR, paid $9,995 for it today, with just over 100k miles on it. I realize it's probably a tad more than book on it, but it looks to be in very good shape, no dents, dings, or rust, and includes a 2 year/24000 mile bumper to bumper. So I figure if I can't shake any issues out of it in that time, then it's bound to hold up a lot longer.

 

So about $8,000 for the car and $2,000 for the warranty? It amazes me that you can even buy a warranty like that for anything over 10 years old. Based on my Jaguar repairs experience(tho I do all my own repairs), that sounds like a good deal. I paid $6,000 for my xj8 about three years ago and done probably $1,500 worth of repairs and $3,000 worth of preventative maintenance (but spent less than $1,000 on parts).

 

I paid 9 percent for a 2005 xj8 four days ago

 

I Paid $3500 for my beat up 2001 XKR. It drove home!

My XJR;





8500$ 87,000 Miles.

but honestly lets call it 10k after all necessary repairs.

 

God-dang beautiful car

 

paid £1220 for a 1999 XJR with half that value being in the personalized reg plate V10 XJR (shame they don't use a V10 engine or it would be worth more than the car).....so if the car cost say £700 minus the plates worth then its 1.4% of its original value.....

 

My 2000 Jag XJ8 Vanden Plas (with all optional features, except mud flaps) cost $67600 new, I purchased it for $3800. Which means I purchased the car for a mere 5.33% of it's original value. Mind you, it has 100k miles.

 

Paid my best friend $4000 two years ago. $4000 for tranny work for A-Drum replacment 3 weeks after driving it home. $2000 for the same repair last month and used a better part this time and also got a 3 yr warranty on labor. Let's see... what does this add up to? Oh! I had to replace windshield when I busted it fooling around with the old rear view mirror... about $225 for glass and mirror. This done soon after purchase.

I have this car listed on CL now.

 

2 -1995 XJS 4.0 convertibles, one 4 years ago for $2300 that needed tires and a complete service after I drove it home. I don't drive in the winter. The other last year for $1300, It had been sitting for 3 yrs, previous original owner didn't believe in normal care and maintenance, but at least, It runs, has brand new tires, but needs a lot of catching up to do.

 

My '99 XJ8 Base had 33K miles and was in near-mint condition when purchased from a dealer for $8700 (about 14% of MSRP) in 2011. The only repairs required were the electrochromatic mirror (about $100 to refurbish) and the antenna mast ($70 incl. labor). Since then, it has needed a new door lock & actuator for one door ($450), a new brake switch ($200), and new tires ($400, General AltiMax HP). I also upgraded to low-dust ceramic brake pads all around and new front rotors ($600 total), and had some minor dents & scrapes touched up ($200). More recently, with 55K miles, it needed a new fuel pump ($600), a battery ($150 with 25% coupon at PepBoys for a Bosch Platinum AGM), a new oilpan gasket ($170), and a master cylinder cap ($50).

I just sold that XJ8 for $5K to a good friend, who sold me his own 2000 Vanden Plas that had 110K for $3K (about 4% of MSRP). He wanted the same XJ8 with fewer miles and a shorter wheelbase (and to be rid of the worry of an aging Jag that had its share of repairs, incl a new steering rack and cooling system). As for me, I wanted a smoother-riding, more spacious and luxurious version, even if it ends up needing more work. For now, the $2K I made has covered upgrades like new Pirelli Cinturato C7 tires ($600), a new front windshield ($230), new shock bushings ($200), Bosch platinum spark plugs ($175), a new AGM battery ($180), an extra key ($150), as well as a brake fluid flush & refill ($150).

I also upgraded to Mobil 1 High Mileage sythetic with a Purolator PureOne filter, and put in Philips UltraVision bulbs (with a claimed 60% further reach) for the low beams. It may just need a couple more fluid changes of coolant and transmission to be almost fully rejuvenated -- except maybe for the drive chain tensioners. Also want to eliminate the intermittent "ASC & TRAC CONTROL NOT AVAIL" and ABS dash warnings, which I gather are mainly a nuisance, possibly due to poor wheel speed sensor contact or loose solder joints. (Anyone with experience fixing that?)

 

no idea what % it is but i paid $1000 for my 99 vdp

 

Bought my '03 VDP in 2009 with 30k original miles. The original bill of sale was in the glove box. $68k out the door. I paid $13,900 for it, so like 20% of the original sale price??? IDK... Maybe i got ripped off, but I LOVE IT!!!

 

I bought it brand new for $56,000
