I'm very temped to ask if they will take $1400.....I really want a manual X-type and this one has the correct colors.

At the very bottom it says the car is $1,400 above average price (which would suggest these typically sell for $1k). Does that make the Jaguar X type the cheapest old used car someone could buy? I did a quick search on AutoTrader and you can't buy a 2004 Corolla with similar miles for under $5k.
I just want a manual trans example in green/silver, this one is not too far gone that I can't save it.

TGIF Club Lexus friends!
Sorry for double post, I'm on my phone and can't make copy and paste work most of the time.
What color is your dash?
Mine is black with a light texture so I don't get much glare but I get the shine and that's what it's all about.
Blasphemy!
. 
I'm down here in Fl too!
I'll pick up a bottle and do a comparo, sounds like fun.

I don't really care that it's fast or not, mostly just want a manual Jag for the fun of it and to drive back and forth to work instead of my Jeep. After that crash my family was in I really just don't feel the same way about it anymore and am actively looking for a nice/clean LR3 or Q7 TDI to replace it with, I've been driving the W12/4.0TT to work and back ever since that crash......put my wife in the LS460 as well. Not trusting inherently weak cars anymore.
EDIT: Oh hey! You are down in Florida! Want to see if it's a lost cause before I drive down lol!?!

Yeah lol! I like some shine but nothing like that, I usually go back and do a dry microfiber rub after I apply the shine/UV protectant as well to "level" the look/gloss level and ensure there is nothing there to smudge or take finger prints.

Ford again, it's very similar to the one I had but a bit lower spec. Main thing is that it is manual this time, same engine but the 3.0L "top dog" engine instead of the mid spec 2.5L engine I had so 30hp more plus manual should give me mid 6s 0-60 vs 8.4ish....

I'll shoot you a pm.
Wait, patience...
Eventually it will be back in style and I will be ahead of everyone when it does, for the first time in my life. Haha
Skipping the bell bottoms this time tho but boot cut is ok is wearing proper boots.

I appreciate but I'll pass.
I have to be reminded of the fashion crimes of the 70's every time visiting mom.
She has our childhood pics on full display for everyone and it's painful to be reminded.
In my defense tho, I was just a kid and didn't buy my own clothes, but nonetheless, wow, yeah ugly my friend and I'd rather forget. Lol

If it was local I'd go check it out and get the scoop.
Gonna need a lot of pics.
Of couse I'm speaking to the choir cuz ya'll already know that.
Just FYI- vin can be run on Florida DMV website for outstanding leins and title status.
Ps-
Florida cars does NOT always mean rust free!
We have a huge snowbird population here and many cars lived their early years up north, like New York, and may be total rust buckets.
