Well I talked to the guy that's selling the car. Only thing wrong with it is some discoloration on the driver's seat near the door from getting in and out. No cracks in the leather or any cosmetic defects on the exterior. All of the pulley's have been changed out from the original plastic to the upgraded metal. The VIN is outside the known defective cylinder wall #'s and passed emissions with flying colors. So i told the guy unless I find something terribly wrong with the suspension, the car is mine.

Default I did it!

So I bought the car. 88,000 original miles, 1995 wheels that were recently stripped and triple chromed. Only paid $4500. Has all options.

Nice. I'm thinking of leaving the tinting on the rear windows, as yours has it, but keep the front untinted. I kind of like that look.

If you want some correct Jaguar wheels for your car, i have a set of pristine 18" Asteroid wheels removed from my 01 XJR
$500 for the full set ( 5 wheels) and I am very close from Fresno ( not in Paso anymore)

Would consider selling my 2003 XJR to the right buyer. S/C and Mina Exh upgrades. Robust and reliable. Quartz/black. AZ car, now SC. Fresh Conti's, shown only in SE. Everything works, including frigid A/C and sunroof. Perfect intro into "grace, space and above all, pace" ownership. Cover, spares and full history (CA/AZ geezer car). Recent BG Induction and FI treatment. This car ushered in "performance sedans" in 1997. EHT/JCNA/Beaufort/Aiken, SC
