I like the look of this Saab 9000. I know from experience that those seats would be the comfiest you've ever sat in!.
Has that gone up? Edited by wibblebrain on Friday 5th September 15:14

S8 has gone. Sniff... Really going to miss the big old lump. Washed and polished it yesterday (a rare treat), advert went up yesterday afternoon and a very nice chap has just left a deposit on it.
Sat looking out the window with a serious case of sellers remorse but I don't really drive anymore and it wasn't liking being sat on the driveway not being used, barges need to be run.
Sigh....
Has the Merc in your profile replaced the S8 mr Scruff?Sat looking out the window with a serious case of sellers remorse but I don't really drive anymore and it wasn't liking being sat on the driveway not being used, barges need to be run.

I can tell you now that you will always hanker after the S8 but I don't miss the constant worry of major bork liabilities despite highly proactive maintenance.

Those wheels need to go, but looks good otherwise....Found a nice e38 728 sport over my side of the water. Like the interior, and the ad sounds good!

The post-facelift interior was a massive boon for these cars. Makes them look a bit more like a Jaguar than the old 'urinal' console in the pre-facelift models. The exterior styling though, I've never quite reconciled with. Fully serviced, fresh MOT and 400 horses all in budget.

Not a fan of the styling either, tbh the XJ350 is a superior car in pretty much every way and is creeping into budget in R form although no doubt won't be the best examples at this price range.http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

The overlap between X350 XJ and the S Type must pit the tattiest of the petrol XJ'S against the best S Types, but even then the X350 feels utterly from another planet to the S Type. It feels classically 'Jaguar'. The attentive buyer may yet find some 'big petrol fear' depreciation on a good petrol X350. I hear the 3.0 V6 is a pleasing enough unit and the V8's no doubt impress even more.
On the subject of the XJ-R, they were a consideration I gave thought to when buying my XJ. However, much like the sums I did when I had my A8 4.2, the fuel economy just didn't quite add up for me. Both the XJ-R and the S8 would struggle to top 20mpg (I am told) in any condition, whereas the XJ and the A8 will happily return slightly more modest returns in day to day use. Granted, I am doing less car miles now that I also have a motorbike but I still couldn't justify the costs.
I have written up a reader's ride thread on my XJ, see the link below. After giving it it's first week of home use, tootling to nightshifts and back again in the morning, it is a revelation.
