Very low mileage, nice interior, not fan about the color but any wrap could make it.
For the price , that's a bargain!
Get it (hand have it wrapped a satin metallic deep royal blue or fire emerald green

Agree, that color doesn’t do the car justice. This body style benefits from darker, metallic shades.
but yes, very reasonably priced.

For Comparison, here is a private sale, a bit further up the coast….

@Cee Jay is right. A Florida salvage title means that the vehicle was in a severe enough accident for the insurance company to declare it to be a total loss. In other words, the cost to properly repair it cost more than the damaged vehicle was worth.

Note that all Jaguar X150 models are manufactured from aluminum - body and chassis - and were robotically assembled at the factory using special bonding adhesives and rivets. Only body shops that are certified to perform aluminum repairs are required for safely rebuilding an X150.

If you are considering the purchase of an X150 with a salvage title, you should have a Pre Purchase Inspection done by a body shop that is certified to do aluminum repairs and is authorized to buy new Jaguar body parts from a Jaguar dealer. Never, ever, take the Seller's word that the damage was minor (it wouldn't have been totaled if that was true) or that the repairs were properly done. A PPI by a Jaguar dealer to the CPO checklist standards is also strongly recommended.



You can put lipstick on a pig to make it look good, but it's still a pig and always will be.
Caveat emptor - Buyer Beware!

I was wondering if you guys had noticed the "rebuilt" title. It is different than a "salvage" title, though I have no idea how they differ. If anyone knows, please post. I'll try to look it up in the meantime.

Turns out a "rebuilt" title is what you get when a "salvage" vehicle has been put back together. So Stuart is right, I wouldn't touch that car with the proverbial 10 foot pole.

Yes.
Rebuilt status doesn't exist over here... At least not as long as the car chassis is untouched .
A broken glass and scruffed leather aren't a "rebuilt'...
On this side of the pond that car would be around 35/40000$.

The ad says it had a glass broken and scruffed leather...
In the US your cars are extremely cheap... But a set of caramel leather seats+dashboard is EXTREMELY expensive if ever findable...Remember an insurance will only pay for NEW parts.
plus having a side glass +system repaired at Jaguar....we all know how costly it might be...
The guy says that's why it was "rebuilt"...
I wouldn't be surprised at all if an insurance company declare a +9000$ repair is too much for a car that old...

Or, the seller, a professionnal, is lying purposely and then taking the risk to be sued for millions in case anything goes wrong...

I agree with others and wouldn't touch a repaired vehicle with any kind of "marker" on it. The US salvage or rebuildable title sounds rather vague. In the UK we have seven defined categories of repair for vehicle markers:

Category A: the worst category. If a vehicle falls into Category A, it means the entire vehicle must be crushed as it’s so far beyond repair there’s nothing worth saving.
Category B: unlike category A, just the body of the car needs to be crushed, other parts can be salvaged.
Category C: the most common for older vehicles. The vehicle can be repaired but it will cost more than the vehicle is worth to do so.
Category D: a vehicle falls into this category when the repair work costs less than the vehicle cost, but additional fees (such as recovery) make the costs more than the vehicle's value.
Category N: the most common category for recent vehivcles. It means the total vehicle cost to repair is less than the vehicle value and there’s been no structural damage to the vehicle.
Category S: similar to category N with regards to the total cost being less than the vehicle’s worth. However, the key difference is that the vehicle has received structural damage.
Category X: this category relates to vehicles that have been stolen and recovered. In most cases they can be repaired for less than the vehicle's value.

Vehicle registration documents are endorsed accordingly.

To get back to the vehicle in question, if I were to consider it then I'd want to see photos of it before the repairs were carried out. The description in the advertisement could mean anything from broken door glass and a few scuffs to the leather right up to an almost trashed interior.

My wife's first Lexus was "Rebuilt" and the dealership who specializes in Rebuilt cars included the Before pictures and a list of everything that was accomplished. She never had a problem with it, and more than made out buy purchasing it for $12k less and sold it for $3k less than non-rebuilt value at the time. She saved $9k in two years, and lower taxes also.
But I'd not have a problem with a 'normal' steel vehicle. Bonded aluminum is a MUCH bigger problem.

Graham,

An undamaged 2010 XKR with under 30K miles is worth at least $25K in Florida. The insurance company declared it a total loss because they determined that it would cost more than it was worth to properly repair it.

The Seller's claim that the damage was minor is not credible. Here's the "before" photo:

The UK appears to be far more protective of consumers when it comes to used cars with auto damage repairs than the USA. While consumer protection laws vary by state, most states place the burden on the buyer to do his own due diligence before buying a used car. Most used car dealers in the USA sell their inventory "As-Is", with no warranty, so Buyer Beware. A few states allow returns within 2 or 3 days.

I just noticed the rebuilt title. That should give this a 30-40% haircut, IMO?

So evidently a Major Lie right off the bat. I found this VIN on several sites.





The Undercarriage Damage which resulted in a Total Loss was caused by "collision with a large rodent". Don't know how accurate THAT is though. Since Florida, I'd say a Capybara, which could be the size of a St Bernard dog at 150 pounds, or 70kg.

Rebuilt titles are one of the hardest cars to sell other than for the knowledgeable and brave. $30,000 is not nothing and not that far from a real 2010 XKR with some Accident history. Of course price is the factor that sells everything. Personally... It's not even close for a Rebuilt Title car.... but in this market..... Stranger things have happened. From what I'm reading from a previous post... There is alot more to consider. Thus as previously stated... Rebuilt Titles can be Scary.

So you all think the seller claiming the damages are purely cosmetics is purposely lying?
I thought such lies could ruin someone in the USA and that a seller could be sued for millions if he lies on the product...
I really don't get how you work...
